Shopify has removed the ‘theme.Name’ parameter from its source code, making it difficult to identify the original theme name through browser console inspection. Previously, users could search for ‘theme.Name’ in the console or use tools like shopscan.app to detect themes.
Alternative detection methods suggested:
Remaining challenge: When developers rename themes to obscure names, identifying the underlying/original theme becomes difficult even with detection tools.
The discussion remains open with no definitive solution for detecting renamed themes, though multiple third-party tools are offered as workarounds for standard detection.
Hi there,
I used to inspect console and search for the actual theme name by ‘theme.Name’ or sometime used www.shopscan.app website to detect theme name and apps.
But it seems that Shopify has removed that ‘theme.Name’ part from it’s source code and not possible to know actual theme name any more. You will just see the edited theme name.
Is there any method to find out the actual theme name?
Hey Sakinur Rahman,
You should be able to use get all of that info using Get Shop Insights - Shopify theme detector
Hey Sakinur,
I use https://whatthemedetector.com/shopify-theme-detector/ and find it gets the theme about 95% of the time. Only issue is if the dev has named the theme something obscure, then it’s tricky to find the underlying theme.
Hope that helps though!
I searched on Google and found a free Shopify theme detector: Shopify Theme Detector - Find Any Shopify Theme Instantly - SellerCenter. It helps me a lot to enhance my store’s design. Love it~
Hi there,
I found several ways to detect the themes one store is using
01. Inspect console and search for the actual theme name by ‘theme.Name’
02.Free online tools such as https://www.shopthemedetector.top/
Shopify does not expose original theme name publicly anymore, so you will not see name by inspecting the console window. A practical way around is to look at the theme folders structure, section naming and coding style and compare them with known 2.0 themes. You can also copy the theme and compare files with public theme demos.
