Hi, @Dee1860 . Have you already tried the steps I’ve explained in my previous responses in this thread? If not, you can find the steps to create a new page template explained again here.
If you have any questions about this, don’t hesitate to ask!
Topic summary
Users are experiencing issues where edits made to one page in their Shopify store are automatically replicated across all other pages. This occurs because multiple pages are using the same template, and changes to a template affect all pages assigned to it.
Root Cause:
- In Online Store 2.0 themes (like Dawn), editing a template in the theme editor applies changes to all pages using that template
- By default, new pages are assigned to the “Default page” template
Solution:
- Create separate page templates for pages requiring different layouts or content
- Navigate to the theme editor and create new templates following Shopify’s template creation steps
- Assign the new template to specific pages via the “Theme template” dropdown in the page settings (bottom right)
- Templates must be created in the currently published theme to appear as options
Key Distinctions:
- Template editing (theme editor): Changes the layout/structure for all pages using that template
- Product/page editing (admin): Changes content-specific information for individual items
- Use metafields to display unique information (like breed-specific details) across products sharing the same template
One user noted that template assignments sometimes revert to “default page” despite changes, suggesting potential saving/persistence issues. An alternative coding solution involves using conditional Liquid tags to restrict app blocks to specific templates.
