Topic summary

A user is attempting to transfer a brand slider feature from one Shopify theme to their updated Trade theme by copying the code. After adding the code to the sections directory, the slider doesn’t appear in the theme customizer for editing.

A community member explained that themes have different code structures and architectures, making direct code copying between themes incompatible. They offered to help if provided with:

  • The source theme name
  • The specific section being copied

The issue remains unresolved and awaits further information to provide a proper solution or workaround.

Hi @wealthbeing ,

Each theme will support a different code and structure, so you cannot copy from one theme to another.

Please send me the theme name and section you want to copy, I will check it
