Custom Liquid

Section

We do not support code customizations. This guide offers a basic reference for developers and advanced users familiar with HTML and Liquid. Always test code changes on unpublished theme copies. For assistance, we recommend reaching out to a verified Fluorescent partner.

With the Custom Liquid section, you can extend your theme by adding snippets of Liquid or HTML code as a section in the theme editor.

The Custom Liquid section provides a reliable and safer option compared to directly editing your theme code. It will help keep your theme copy eligible for updates and avoid conflicts with the original theme code.

Add Custom Liquid

---

Click (+) Add section and select Custom Liquid. Use the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ to re-order blocks. Click the section to start customizing.

See Shopify's Liquid reference guide and Liquid code examples to learn more.

Add anchor links to sections

---

Shopify dynamically generates ids for sections but these ids are not stable. The following instructions are a workaround for this platform limitation.

To link to a specific section on a page, you can use a Custom Liquid section with some HTML as a workaround. The HTML will include a special id property that will allow you to link directly to that section.

Once set up, the Custom Liquid section will not affect the page layout.

Anchor link in the Header doesn't work?

If your anchor link in the navigation menu points to a section on the same page, you will need to disable page transitions for the link to work. Go to Theme settings > Animation and deselect Enable page transitions.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

1. Under Template, click (+) Add section and select Custom Liquid.

2. Click and hold the drag and drop handles ⋮⋮ to move the Custom Liquid section directly above the section you want to link to.

3. Click the Custom Liquid section to open the settings.

4. Enter the following HTML code and enter a unique id property in the opening tag. If using multiple words, you must use dashes (-) instead of spaces.

   <span id="our-values"></span>

   Recommended: Use an ID that's the same name as your section, and make sure the name is not used by other IDs.

5. Under Section style, set the Padding to None.

6. Find and click the section or block that will link to the Custom Liquid section.

7. In the link field, enter the id with a hashmark at the start (e.g. #our-values).

   To link from another page or menu link, you must enter the full URL path with the anchor link at the end (e.g. www.store.com/#our-values or www.store.com/about#our-values).

8. Click Save.
