Videoselz and Vintage themes

Vintage themes are no longer available in the Shopify Theme Store and do not include the advanced features of Online Store 2.0. Videoselz is added to your storefront as a theme app block, and vintage themes don’t support app blocks — so Videoselz needs an Online Store 2.0 theme.

Check if you're using a Vintage theme

Using the Shopify theme editor

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
2. Find the theme you want to edit and click Edit theme.
3. On the left panel, inside Template, click + Add section.
4. Go to the Apps tab.
5. Inside the Apps tab, if you don't see any blocks and see "You don't have any apps installed. Find apps built for themes on the Shopify App Store", it means you're using a Vintage theme.

Using the Shopify code editor

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
2. Click the 3-dot icon (...) on the right of the theme you want to edit and select Edit code.

3. Open the templates folder.
4. Scroll down to find index.

If your home page template is index.liquid, you're using a Vintage theme. If your home page template is index.json, you're using an Online Store 2.0 theme.

If you’re on a Vintage theme

Videoselz can’t be added to a Vintage theme. Your options:

• Switch to an Online Store 2.0 theme. Shopify’s free themes, such as Dawn, are Online Store 2.0. Once you’ve switched, follow Setting up Videoselz.
• Contact us. Email help@videoselz.com and we’ll help you work out the best route for your store.

Troubleshoot

My theme doesn't have the index.liquid file.

If you can't find an index.liquid file in your theme, check if you see an index.json file instead. If your theme has an index.json file, you're using an Online Store 2.0 theme, which allows you to install the widget using app blocks instead. Follow the steps in the Setting up Videoselz guide to install the widget using app blocks.
