"Select an Option" as default in drop down (2020)

Shopify Discussion
1

Is there a way have “select an option” added as a default to my drop down menus? I am currently using the FOCAL theme.

@Ayanna_Card ,

Select and option is shown by default in HTML if you don’t set any selected options for drop down. So if something is set you need to look for words like selected= “selected” in from of an option value and remove that

I not clear on what you are saying. Where should I be looking for “select an option”? Is it in the liquid code or should be visible when I am adding variants?

@Ayanna_Card ,

You would need to look into the liquid code and remove “selected” from an option. Can you share your URL and specific page where you want to achieve this, I might be able to suggest better.

Hi @Ayanna_Card ,

It sounds like you either need to learn Liquid to make the adjustment or hire a Shopify Expert to do it for you.
