you may need to customize your theme and add the block onto your page

(The link shows you how to get to the section where you can find what you need. that link doesn’t answer your question exactly )

Hey @roman6717 ,

Shopify updated the theme editor and it seems that themes have to be uploaded with at least one default section from now on.

To restore the “Add section” button, please go to your Shopify dashboard > Themes > Click on the three dots of the desired theme and go on “Edit code”.

This will manually add a slideshow section to your store and the add section button will appear below it.

You will be able to delete the slideshow section, however, only after a second section is added because the theme needs at least one section.

Debutify will also add a default section for future theme downloads.

Thank you for choosing Debutify!
