Seeking Assistance with Updating Shopify Icon Theme from Version 10.1.1 to 10.2

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

  • Issue: A merchant on the Icon theme v10.1.1 reports the update to v10.2 is taking a long time and not applying, while needing to preserve custom code edits made in v10.1.1.

  • Guidance provided: They were advised to contact the theme’s official support for troubleshooting the failed/stuck update. It was clarified that theme updates do not automatically migrate custom code; any customizations must be manually transferred to the new version.

  • Suggested steps: Back up the current theme, install or duplicate v10.2, compare files (diff) to identify customizations, and manually re-apply those changes in v10.2, then test before publishing. Seek theme support specifically for the update malfunction.

  • Status: Unresolved/ongoing; no confirmation that the update completed or that customizations were migrated.

  • Notes: Screenshots were shared to illustrate the version and update context; no additional technical details or logs were provided.

Hello Community,

I am currently using the Icon theme, specifically version 10.1.1, on my Shopify store. Recently, version 10.2 of the theme has been released. However, I have encountered difficulties while attempting to update from version 10.1.1 to 10.2.

The challenge I am facing is that the update process is taking an extended amount of time, and despite my efforts, the theme remains unchanged at version 10.1.1. This is particularly concerning as I have made custom edits to the code of version 10.1.1, and I want to ensure that these edits are retained or appropriately transferred to version 10.2.

Could someone please provide guidance or assistance on how to successfully update the theme to version 10.2 while preserving the custom code edits?

Thank you in advance for your help and insights.

Best regards,

Hi @amanphalswal If the theme is showing the issue when you are updating it then regarding this you need to connect with your theme support, they can help you out in this issue.

Also regarding the custom coding: Whenever you update the theme, the custom code that you have added will never move to the new theme automatically, you need to transfer your custom code manually, Themes doesn’t take the responsibility of transferring the code to the new version.

If you have other question or issue, please feel free to ask the same.

Hopefully it will help you. If yes then Please don’t forget hit Like and Mark it as solution!

Best Regards
