NEW Tutorial 2022! SHOPIFY's NEW OS Store 2.0 allows you to create custom pages of content without having to code( click here to see the new method for custom pages of collections on Shopify's Free DAWN theme)
This customization of the Shopify Debut Theme allows you to add custom content on a page using the sections feature.
Make a Duplicate copy of your theme before beginning. Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter for the latest tips on traffic generation, Shopify integration and updates.
Below are the code blocks need for this theme customization seen in the video:
Page Template Code
page.my-custom-collections.liquid
Copy the one line of blue code and paste into your new page template.
{% section 'my-custom-collections' %}
Section Code
Note I have made a code change to this section so it now a Static instead of a Dynamic Section. This means it will only show on your custom page and not on the home page.
my-custom-collections.liquid
Add the Following Code to the new section, but note every custom page needs it own section with a unique name in the schema. Note the section of code in Green within the blue code.
"name": "My Custom Page"
Copy the Blue code from <div class="page-width"> to the {% endschema %}.
<div class="page-width">
{% if section.settings.title != blank %}
<div class="section-header text-center">

How much more complex is it to do this for the Venture theme? I’d like to have the same blocks I have for the home page available on my custom pages and behaving the same way.
Hi Kevin,
I followed all the steps in the video very closely but yet I get this error: “Liquid error: Error in tag ‘section’ – ‘Work’ is not a valid section type”. What could be the problem?
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial, it worked great for me! I ran into one little hiccup that I’m hoping you can help me with. For some reason, any content I enter, whether it’s text, photo, video, etc., it anchors all the way to the left side of the page leaving no space between the edge of the computer screen to the words on the page. Any way to fix this? I followed the tutorial step by step, and in your video, the width in which all of your content displays is perfect, but it’s not showing up on my page like that. Also, I’m actually not using the Debut theme, I’m using Pipeline. Please let me know if you can help, it will be very much appreciated!
Hi,
I’ve been trying to apply your tutorial to my page but the main feature that I need is the Image with Text section. I’ve tried for the last 6 hours modifying the codes but got no real results. Would you be able to advise if it is possible to apply Image with Text to this?
Hello, I did this once and it worked just fine, then I went to copy it to have another custom page and it’s not working for the second one. It’s showing on the sections when I go to customize the page, but it’s not clickable, it doesn’t allow me to add any content, do you know why this is? Please let me know.
