Hello!
i’m new to coding. My shop title doesn’t show on my website. After a few searches i checked class head title and the name of my shop is clearly there. One of the suggestions to check was to verify the “theme.liquid” file but i cannot find this.
Thanks for your help
Hi @crissyc . Here are steps to access and edit theme.liquid & change your shop Title:
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
Locate the theme you intend to modify.
Click the “… (ellipsis)” button next to it.
Select Edit code from the dropdown.
In the code editor’s sidebar, click theme.liquid to open it.
Find the block and locate the tag. Modify the contents of … to whatever you want.
Double-check your update using an SEO extension (for Chrome) like TinyIMG or Ahrefs.
That’s all. If you find it helpful, please like and mark Solved.
Hi! If your shop title isn’t showing, it could be because your theme uses a logo instead of text.
The title is turned off in the Header settings.
It’s hidden due to custom code.
Check Online Store > Themes > Customize, and look in the Header section. If you’re using a logo, try removing it to see the title. Let me know your theme name and I can guide you further!
Have you added the shop title in your store admin > Sales channels > Online Store > Preferences > Social sharing image and SEO > Homepage title?
Hi @crissyc
This is Jeffery from SEOAnt. I’m here to check this situation, and our team has successfully handled similar issues from customers for several years, bringing extensive experience to the table.
First, it will be better to share your store URL here so that I can have a careful look at the situation you mentioned in the question.
Second, I believe the shop title you said should be equal to meta title existing on store backend. To verify if the meta title pattern is correct from Shopify admin, you can use below ways to find out “theme.liquid” file and I will also put a standard meta title and meta description code block for your reference, which will be beneficial for your further check and see if they are under normal status.
You can find out “theme.liquid” file by clicking Online store under Sales channels section, and in the Themes page, then click the three dots near the Customize button and select Edit code option to access the code liquid pages. There you will find one liquid file called theme.liquid.
Here is the attached standard meta title and meta description code block below and if you notice the content inside code block including words like “render” or “comment”, which means your meta title and meta description codes are not working properly, and you should remove the unnecessary contents directly. If you fail to clear the unnecessary codes correctly, you can choose to share with me the code content here or contact our team support to further resolve it immediately. Thank you!

{% endif %}
does this mean i cannot have both a logo and title?
i have the starter plan, i don’t remember having a choice in selecting theme. The theme a i have is “Spotlight 15.3.0”
thanks for your help
Hello Jeffery,
my store URL : thequietspell.ca = with the help of another community helper, i was able to get the title by removing the logo.
I have the “starter plan” so when i clic on “Theme” under “online store” this is what results of it :
so i wonder is it that i cannot have both a title and a logo?
Hi @crissyc
From what I know, the logo and the title cannot exist both. You can only choose one of them as the title in your store theme content and that may be also the reason why you will receive the suggestion of finding out “theme.liquid”, as the one who suggested you to check content in “theme.liquid” would like to guide you via title way here. But honestly to say, it is suggested to set a real text as the title, as Google prefers the title with real content rather than an image or logo, a kind reminder here~
I hope my answer is clear for you and you can mark it as a reference here also. Thanks!
