Can You Change Shopify Theme Without Losing Content?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:08 am

If you’re considering changing your Shopify theme but are worried about losing content, don’t be. While it’s true that a change in theme can result in some loss of content, there are ways to avoid this.

The first thing to do is to export your current content from Shopify. This can be done by going to “Settings” and then “Export.”

From there, you will want to select “All Content” and then “Export.” This will give you a file that contains all of your current content.

PRO TIP: If you change your Shopify theme, your content will not be carried over to the new theme. This includes your products, pages, blog posts, and collections. You will need to recreate your content in the new theme.

Once you have this file, you can begin looking at new themes. When you find one that you like, you can import your content into it. To do this, go to the new theme’s page and select “Import.”

From there, you will select the file that you exported from your old theme. This will allow you to bring over all of your old content without having to start from scratch.

There are a few things to keep in mind when changing themes. First, not all themes are created equal. Some may have more features than others, which could result in some of your content not appearing properly. Second, some themes are not compatible with certain browsers.

Be sure to check the compatibility before making any final decisions. Third, and most importantly, backup your site before making any changes. This way, if something goes wrong, you can always revert back to your old theme.

In conclusion, yes – you can change your Shopify theme without losing content. However, it is important to take precautions such as backing up your site and checking compatibility before making any changes.
