Please be aware that upgrading from version 2.0 or below is not possible. We have recently implemented blocks for product pages and as a result, we have redesigned them and built the theme with new code. Unfortunately, this means that updating the old version is not an option. At times, major updates are necessary to ensure compatibility with the latest Shopify standards and in those cases, theme updates are not feasible. We appreciate your understanding. But don’t worry! Since you already have your store set up with the older version, it won’t take much time or effort to set up the new one. You are already familiar with all of the sections you added, as well as your design style and images, so setting up your store with the new version should be a breeze. Thank you for choosing our theme and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to seeing your newly updated store! --- ## v2.0 - 01/09/2022 - New : Display products by collection, vendor, type and metafield - New : Section to display Products with Banner on left or right - New : Exit product popup - New : Display related products on article page - New : Complete the look - New : Horizontal collection menu on collection page. - Updated: Title added for Testimonial section - New skin : [Shoes](https://optimal-demo.myshopify.com/?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&preview_theme_id=132322820291), [Books](https://optimal-demo.myshopify.com/?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&preview_theme_id=132288086211), [Yoga](https://optimal-demo.myshopify.com/?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&preview_theme_id=132288086211) | [![Premiun Shopify Theme for High Conversion](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/boot.jpg)](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/shoes.jpg) | [![Premiun Shopify Theme for High Conversion](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/books.jpg)](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/books.jpg) | [![Premiun Shopify Theme for High Conversion](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/yoga.jpg)](https://adornthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/yoga-1.jpg) | | --- | --- | --- | --- ## v1.9 - 11/04/2022 - New : 2 New fashion skin.
