I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble getting started, this sounds like an odd issue, which I can understand would be very frustrating. You’re absolutely right that these changes should update quite quickly. I’ve checked in with our technical team on your behalf, and don’t currently have any reports of similar issues. So, I’d like to go through a few suggestions with you that might help out!

  1. Please try clearing your cache and cookies in the browser that you’re currently using.
  2. If that doesn’t help, please try changing your account settings in a different browser. If you’re able to make the change in an alternate browser, check to make sure that your original browser is fully up to date. These are the browsers supported by Shopify.
  3. Try making the changes in the Shopify Mobile app, or using a different internet connection. Some internet service providers can temporarily restrict access to certain sites which can cause issues like this.

First double check that the theme your are editing is the actual LIVE published theme.

If, however, you do want to push changes to this live theme, you can apply the --allow-live override to the command you need to run, and you’ll be able to push changes as usual. In this example you would run theme watch --allow-live and Theme Kit will identify edits to the theme files, and push them to the live store.

@jamesMeegan If your using the shopify app cli or themekit that is an important piece of information NEVER leave out so others can help you.

I thought we had to switch over to CLI in order to develop themes. Im just starting to learn Shopify development, should I be learning Themekit instead? Can you give me any recommendations for learning shopify theme development?

Nothing to do with development this is troubleshooting 101. This is the title of your post “Why is the live theme I edit in my online store editor not saving to the live store”

Your in the merchant design forums asking about an online store editor problem, but your problem had to do with an entirely different context and situation that you omitted to even mention. See the problem?

Don’t omit critical context.

where did you type this in?
