Avone – How to update your shopify theme?
Note for Avone version 4.5 and below
Our beloved customer If you want to use Avone version 5.0, you need to start from scratch.
THEME UPDATE IS NOT POSSIBLE.
We have introduced block-based product pages and also Shopify recently made changes to allow sections to add on login and registration pages too, and we have now redesigned them and rebuild theme with new code which is not possible to update with old version. Sometimes we need to make major updates to the theme to make it compatible with the latest Shopify standard and theme updates are not possible in some cases. We hope you understand it.
Still no worries, as you already have the store setup with the old version, it would not take much of your time to set up the store with the new version. You already have all the sections in mind that you have added, as well as the design style and images, so you can easily set up your store with the new version.
Cheers to all our customers who were waiting for block-based product layout!
