Update custom themes manually

If you upload or modify theme code using the following methods, your theme will become a custom theme:

Downloading the theme code with the SHOPLINE CLI and pushing the updated code
Adding your theme package to the SHOPLINE Admin theme library
Editing theme code in the SHOPLINE Admin code editor
Modifying theme code using Asset APIs

Custom themes do not update automatically with the latest bug fixes or features from the official theme. You can use the following methods to match the latest official theme code updates to your custom theme.

Caution

Some theme-enhancing apps may not be compatible with custom themes.

Use the Git version control tool

It is recommended to use Git for version control of theme code to efficiently compare the differences between custom and official theme codes. This comparison helps you decide whether to merge updates from the official theme into your custom theme code.

Replicate custom features to the official theme

Create a new copy of the latest official theme code, and then reintegrate the code for the custom theme's features into the new official theme.

This method is more suitable for custom themes with limited features. For extensively modified custom themes, it is recommended to use the Git version control tool to facilitate updates.
