This customization of the Shopify Debut Theme allows you to add custom content on a page using the sections feature.

Custom Page Template Shopify Debut Theme

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

 Custom Section Template using Shopify Debut Theme

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">

This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thank you very much! Worked perfectly. Now I need to figure out how or where to get code to feed Google local reviews onto a page.

Bob

Thanks a lot for the video and description. I wanted to know if this will work with me Debut theme version 2 that I am using, as allowing sections to be added on Collection pages was a new introduction by Shopify after 2019 ( I learner about in some other video)

Ashwin Biyani

Please disregard last two emails.

I have managed to copy and paste the custom-collections.liquid back into my current theme. And I was able to add it to the Navigation page and it is now on my Homepage. I do not want to add My Custom Gallery to my Homepage, but only as its own separate page to view. When I click on the My Custom Gallery Menu from the homepage and try to add content (ie. images, text,) using the Sidebar menu, there are no options that drop down for me to do this. It is basically a Section without any option to add Content. However, if I add the Custom Collection section to my homepage, I can add to it from there. I do not want all of this visible on the Homepage. Can you help?

Kate Ball

Hi, so I think I have discovered the problem. I accidentally deleted the “custom-content.liquid” section under the Sections folder. How do I get it back?

Kate Ball

I have watched your YouTube video and followed the instructions to create a custom collections page for the Debut theme. But when I go to add it to my Navigation, it does not show up when I click on the Pages section, so I am unable to add it to my Main Menu bar. Please help!
