Why does my image disappear from my created page sections?

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: On a custom “About us” page, inserting multiple theme sections via Shopify Liquid caused images in the “image-with-text” section to disappear shortly after saving.

Context and steps:

  • Used the Liquid tag {% section ‘…’ %} to add sections to a created page.
  • Noted that duplicate sections were treated as one, preventing independent edits.
  • Duplicated and renamed sections to create variants (e.g., text–rich-text, image–image-with-text-1/2/3, text–rich-text-1/2, image–logo-list, video–video-hero).

Problem details:

  • When an image is added to “image with text” and saved, it vanishes after a few seconds.
  • The author suspects the issue stems from how the “about us” template was created.

Key terms:

  • Shopify Liquid {% section %}: Includes a theme section in a template; duplicating the same section can share configuration, limiting independent changes.

Status:

  • No fix or consensus yet. The author requests help; discussion remains open.

Hello

Wanted the ability to add sections to a created page, in this case, my “about us” page. So using the command

{% section ’ ’ %} i did.

Since the page contains duplicate sections and Shopify treats these as one section, individual changes were not possible. So I created new sections resembling the sections I needed and just stored them under a slightly different name:

{% section ‘text–rich-text’ %}
{% section ‘image–image-with-text-1’ %}
{% section ‘image–image-with-text-2’ %}
{% section ‘image–image-with-text-3’ %}
{% section ‘text–rich-text-1’ %}
{% section ‘image–logo-list’ %}
{% section ‘text–rich-text-2’ %}
{% section ‘video–video-hero’ %}

Now the issue is that when I add a picture to the section “image with text” and save the changes, it disappears after a few seconds. I believe that the issue lies in the way I created the “about us” template.

Can anyone help?
