How to Troubleshoot and Fix Issues with Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender After a Theme Update
When updating your Shopify theme, you may encounter issues with the Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender, such as charts not displaying, incorrect positioning, or integration problems. This guide provides troubleshooting steps to resolve these issues and ensure your size charts function correctly.
Common Issues with Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender
Size charts not updating to the new theme: After a theme update, the size charts may not integrate properly with the new design.
Size charts not displaying: The charts may fail to appear on product pages or templates.
Distorted page layout: The extension may cause display issues or distortions on the updated theme.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Enable the Kiwi Extension for the Updated Theme
After switching or updating your Shopify theme, the Kiwi Size Chart extension needs to be re-enabled for the new theme. Follow these steps:
Go to your Shopify admin panel.
Open the updated theme.
Enable the Kiwi Size Chart (app) extension for the theme.
Publish or save your changes.
This ensures the size charts render correctly on the updated theme.
2. Enable the Kiwi Extension on Specific Product Templates
If the size chart is not visible on certain product pages, ensure the Kiwi extension is enabled for the affected templates:
Open the product template in your Shopify admin.
Add the Kiwi widget/extension block to the template.
Turn on the extension for that specific template.
This will make the size chart visible on the product page.
3. Clear Your Browser Cache
If the size chart still doesn’t display, clearing your browser cache can resolve the issue. Cached files may prevent updated scripts or settings from loading correctly. After clearing the cache, check the product pages again.
Preventative Measures for Future Theme Updates
Test the theme in a staging environment: Before applying updates to your live store, test the new theme in a staging environment to identify potential issues with the size charts.
Document your customizations: Keep a record of any customizations made to your size charts or templates to simplify re-enabling them after updates.
Regularly update the Kiwi app: Ensure you are using the latest version of the Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender to benefit from new features and compatibility improvements.
