Why is the Sort By filter on my Venture Theme showing an error?

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Venture theme encountered an error displaying on their collection page’s “Sort By” filter. The filter shows placeholder text instead of proper labels (e.g., Best Selling, Featured).

Likely Cause:

  • Missing translation values in the theme’s language files
  • May have been inadvertently affected when adding Google Ads code

Solution Provided:

  • Navigate to: Online Store > Themes > Edit default theme content
  • Search for the missing translation values
  • Enter the appropriate values for sort options
  • Save changes

Screenshots were shared showing both the error state and the theme editor interface where translation values can be updated.

Hi, all!

Here’s our website’s link: https://www.gainexpress.com

Just wanted to ask why this appeared on our site? I remember adding in some code for Google Ads before this appeared. I know the code shouldn’t affect the filters. How can I change this back (Ex. Best Selling, Featured, etc.)? Thanks.

Hi @Ela_V_TSM

You can solve it from your Online store > Themes > Edit default theme content

Search missing translation values, enter values and click Save button
