Why is a random 'party dog' appearing on my online store?

Hi all,

Very strange issue here.

I have noticed a “party dog” randomly appear on my store. (https://barra.net.au)

I have had difficulties figuring out why it has appeared and which app it is coming from.

My first lead is that I have found the javascript source link, however, I can’t seem to where find this is from: https://cdn.shopify.com/extensions/f183f23a-b50d-4591-a5bf-831ae9580743/0.1.0/assets/party-button.js

Does anyone have any suggestions on some ways that I can locate this? I have also tried locating it in the code, but still no luck.

May I can find a way to translate the extension ID?

Note: I have not added any new apps recently.

Hi @barraenthusiast

Thank you for sharing your store link here. I was able to see the party dog button on your store, and while entertaining I can understand your concern if you didn’t intentionally add this yourself!

A few things I can offer to help you track down this errant button:

  • Reach out to our live support to review recent app changes to your theme file. This will help us narrow down if this is related to a live app on your store, or a code customization. To help with this, please try and confirm the earliest date you or your team noticed this button on the live store.
  • Install the Bold Theme Search chrome extension to quickly and effectively search your theme file for specific phrases: Shopify Theme Search by Bold - Chrome Web Store
    • Try: 1635648604fb06c4e6 (the ID for it when inspected)
    • Try other unique characters or lines from what we see when inspected.
  • If you find something, use the comment code boxes to “hide” the code from running to see if that is the culprit:
    {% comment %} tag before the code and a {% endcomment %} tag after the code
    

I did also notice when inspecting your store that there is a lot of broken code, most likely left behind by apps that are no longer installed. After the holiday season it might be worthwhile refreshing your store theme file with a newer version and removing those extra broken scripts.

You are awesome!

It looks like it was the Wishlist Compare Plus app.

I was able to disabled the dog via the theme code. :slightly_smiling_face:
