Vendor.js deleted and now my products are not showing on collection page

Topic summary

A user accidentally deleted the vendor.js file from their Ella theme, causing products to disappear from the collection page. Despite recreating the file with backed-up code, the products still don’t display.

Attempted Solution:

  • User restored the file with original code from backup
  • Issue persists despite file recreation

Recommended Fix:
A support representative suggests:

  • Download a fresh copy of vendor.js from official Shopify documentation
  • Upload it correctly to the theme’s assets folder
  • Ensure proper file naming and minification
  • Clear browser cache and test the collection page
  • Contact Shopify support or update the theme if the issue continues

Status: The discussion remains open with one proposed solution. The core issue appears to be that simply recreating the file with backup code wasn’t sufficient—a fresh, properly formatted copy from official sources may be needed.

HELP!

I deleted the vendor.js file on my theme code and now my product are not showing on my displayed collection (called product block on Ella theme).

When I saw that this happens and I immediately create another file with the same name on the hope that will work, I created the file named vendor.js and put the code inside (I had a backup on my notes), but it didn’t work!

What can I do? Someone can help me?

I attached the vendor.js code and this is my collection page not working:

This is the code:

Hi @paulodalbo ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.
For solving the problem about the Vendor.Js Deleted And Now My Products Are Not Showing On Collection Page, let’s try this solution:

To fix the collection page, you need to restore the critical vendor.js file to your Shopify theme code. Download a fresh copy of vendor.js from Shopify documentation and upload it to your theme’s assets folder, correctly named as vendor.js. Make sure the file is minified, then clear your browser cache and test the collection page again. If it still doesn’t work, update your theme, or contact Shopify support for help troubleshooting. Properly restoring the required JavaScript vendor file is key to getting your theme and collection page functioning again.

I’ll be so happy if my suggestion can help to solve your problem. If you have any further questions, please feel free to tell me.
Best regards,
Theodore | PageFly
