Where is the 'Product summary' section in a custom theme?

Topic summary

  • Issue: In a custom-built theme, the “Product summary” section (and a “Description” block) is missing on the product page, so the merchant can’t add product information via the editor. A screenshot was shared showing the block options without “Description.”

  • Context: The templates are not from a standard theme, limiting the availability of default blocks/sections.

  • Guidance: Typically, the product description is sourced from the product data and rendered on the product page. In a custom template, the theme code must explicitly include/render the description or a custom block must be created to do so.

  • Next steps: Edit the theme code to add the description rendering or build a custom block. Further investigation would require store access for a deeper review.

  • Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No code changes provided yet; assistance offered contingent on access.

I have a customized theme that I’m working from but can’t find the ‘Product summary’ section, and therefore can’t add a product description block/add any product information. I hope the image below is helpful.

When I click on add block, ‘description’ is not an option.

Is anyone able to help me out please?

Hi @Chill_Kea , Which theme are you using? After that, I can have a look from my side.

Hi @BrewBrains , thanks for your reply. The templates were built, so it’s not a standard theme.

@Chill_Kea , In general, the description comes from the product and we render on the product page. Another option will be creating a block like you mentioned but if you have built the custom template then I believe you need to add this part from the code itself.

For further investigation access to the store is required.

If you need any further assistance or have any queries, feel free to contact me.
