FAQ

1. Why is a section or block empty?

Tackle shows a feature only when its data exists. Check the metafield or setting that the feature reads. In the theme editor, an empty feature shows a helper line that names the metafield to fill. See Metafields.

2. How do I change the units?

Open Theme settings, then Specifications, and set Default units to Metric or Imperial. Shoppers can switch units in the spec table. Their choice is saved in their browser.

3. How do I translate the theme?

To add a language, go to Settings, then Languages. To translate the theme's own text, go to Online Store, then Themes, click ... on the theme, and choose Edit default theme content. Shopify's free Translate & Adapt app translates store content. The source text is in the theme's English locale files, locales/en.default.json and locales/en.default.schema.json.

4. Does Tackle support right-to-left languages?

Yes. The theme sets the page direction from the language. Right-to-left languages, such as Arabic or Hebrew, set the page to right to left. The layout uses logical spacing and positioning, so it follows that direction. This release has not been tested on a store with a right-to-left language.

5. Will updates keep my settings?

Your theme settings are saved with the theme. Before you update the theme, duplicate it in the Shopify admin so you can go back. When an update comes from the Theme Store, Shopify adds the new version to your theme library as a separate theme. It carries over your theme settings and template content. Review the new theme before you publish it.

6. How do I add a species?

  1. Create a collection for the species, for example "Pike".
  2. Set custom.season_start, custom.season_end and custom.season_note on the collection.
  3. Add the collection to a Shop by menu, for example the Species column in the header.
  4. Add the collection to the custom.species list on each product that targets the species.

You do not need to change the theme code.

7. Why does the model table show no columns?

Check these points:

  1. The Picker type in the Variant picker block is set to Table.
  2. At least one of Column 1 metafield key to Column 4 metafield key has a key.
  3. The key matches a variant metafield in the specs namespace exactly, for example length.
  4. The variant has a value in that metafield.

See Specifications.

8. How do I hide the season line?

Hide the Season line section with the eye icon in the theme editor. You can also remove it from the header group.

9. Why does Fishes for not show on my product?

The Fishes for block needs the custom.species list on the product. The species must be collections, and each collection needs season data to show the season strip. The block shows nothing when no species collection has season data. See Seasons and Shop by.

10. Can I add a specification row that is not in the profile?

Not with the metafield keys alone. The theme reads only the keys in its spec profiles. For a one-off row, use the manual rows in the Specifications product block. It has up to eight rows with a label and a value. A new key in a profile needs a change to the theme code.

11. Why does a product use the wrong specification profile?

The theme uses the first match in this order: the specs.profile metafield, then the product type words in Theme settings, then the block setting, then generic. A product type can match an earlier profile first. For example, "fly rod" matches rod before fly. Set specs.profile on the product to choose the profile directly.

12. Why is the compare bar missing?

Check these points:

  1. Enable compare is on in Theme settings, under Compare.
  2. Compare page is set to a page with the compare template.
  3. The shopper has selected at least one product. The list holds up to four products.

13. Why does the delivery promise not show?

Add the Delivery promise block to the product page. Check Order cut-off time and Dispatch days. The line shows only on dispatch days and before the cut-off time, in the store time zone offset.

14. Why does the free delivery progress not show?

Turn on Show free delivery progress in the Cart section, or in the Cart drawer section when the cart is a drawer. The setting is off by default. Enter the threshold in Free delivery threshold (main currency unit), without a currency symbol.

15. Why does Notify me not show?

Notify me appears only when the selected variant is sold out. Add the block to the product page. It does not show for variants that are in stock.
