Hey,i have a issue with my online store. When i want to create a new page fx. “About us” it copies whatever i wrote in another page. So if i create the "About us "page all the text from the “Delivery Options” will automatically copy itself to the new page.
And it does the same for the product materials. If i write that a product is made from a specific material than all the products will have the same description under “Materials”
Is there a solution for this ?
Hi there @Ionut2 . I’m happy to help you out with this!
It sounds like you may be editing your pages and products directly within your theme editor. When you edit pages or products in your theme editor you are actually editing a template that is applied to the pages or products you’ve created within your admin. For example, if you add text into the “Materials” block in your theme editor, you are actually editing your Default product template and you are adding that text to every product using that product page template (which is all of your products, by default, unless you manually change it). If you would like a page or product to have a different layout you can create a new template following these steps here. You can also read more about using templates in general on this page here.
Instead of editing your product or page information within your theme editor, you will want to edit this using the product or page content settings in your Shopify Admin. For products you can get there by going to Products in your Shopify Admin and selecting the product you want to edit. For pages, you can get there by going to Online store > Pages in your Shopify Admin and selecting the page you want to edit.
That being said, in some cases there won’t be a space built into the Shopify Admin for you to enter certain information. For example, there isn’t a space automatically built in to enter material information for products. This is where using metafields comes in. You can use metafields to help you save and display information that isn’t usually captured in the Shopify Admin. This page here explains more about setting up and using metafields.
To use metafields there are ultimately three steps:
I’ve included an example of what these steps may look like below:
Step 1: Create metafield definition
Step 2: Add metafield value to the correct part of your store (the product page in this example)
Step 3: Connect metafield to your theme
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Did you figure this out I have the same issue ?
