Adding Shopify Pages

This section will explain how to add existing templating pages outside the product page area. The example below demonstrates how to clone the code for corporate gifting into a specialized version for the legal profession.

1. Duplicate the current shopify theme you're on and rename that with your task, in case you need to roll back a change.

2. Go in to Actions -> Edit Code on the theme you're working on.

3. Open the page template that is closest to what you'd want to create (for example, page.corporate-new.liquid). The list of pages is here. You can find the templates in the "Templates" sidebar

4. Add a new template, select page, and call it something with a logical naming convention (for example, corporate-legal). Click "Create template".

5. Copy and paste the code from the page you opened that you wanted to use as a template into the new one you've created. It will now look like this. This is probably where you hung up, as it is still calling the same sections with the same content as the page.corporate template.

6. Rename each section with that logical naming convention:

7. Go to the section sidebar, and duplicate the sections same as you have now duplicated the parent page template file.

8. Create new sections, name them with your new naming respectively, and copy in the code the same way you did for the page templates.

9. Hit save on each new element on the top right

10. You have to publish your theme to have it now show up as an option in Shopify, so be careful now and be prepared to reverse the publishing if you need to. After you publish, back in your page set up, assign the new page template you created to the page you want to create. It would say corporate-legal below if you followed the steps correctly:

11. When you go to the theme customizer, you can now navigate to this page. You'll see no content populated if you follow the steps correctly. From there you can start populating the image/text fields.
