Common Issues and Their Fixes

My Wishlist Button is Missing #

There could be several reasons for this issue. Let’s explore each scenario and the usual steps to resolve them, ensuring that the app button displays and functions correctly.

Case 01: If your button is missing on products then check whether the Wishlist button toggle is in On condition in the customizer.

For that Navigate to the Enable Theme button on the dashboard page and then click on the “App Embeds and check whether the Wishlist button toggle is “On”. If it is not in the “On” condition then click on it to toggle it to the “On” condition and then press the Save button (located in the top right corner). For more read it here.

Case 02: You forgot to add a Wishlist Button Block. To do that follow the instructions given below:

Navigate to your online store and click on Customize>Sections. Choose the template in which you want to show the position, then locate the ‘wishlist button’ block. Add that block and save it. For more information Read it here.

Case 03: Maybe your CSS is conflicting with the Wishlist button. To show the wishlist button set the display to block as shown in this code snippet in the Custom CSS section. To read more about how to add custom CSS Click here.

#wishlist{
display: block !important;
}

The wishlist button is displayed only on the first product on the Collection pages #

To address the issue of the wishlist button only being displayed on the first product on the Collection pages, you’ll need to ensure that the custom code snippet for the wishlist button is properly implemented. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue:

Verify Implementation in “card-product” file: Double-check that the custom code snippet for the wishlist button is present in the “card-product” file. Ensure that it is placed within the loop that iterates over each product in the collection.

Check Data Binding: Ensure that the data-productID attribute in the button snippet is correctly bound to each respective product’s ID. This ensures that when a user interacts with the wishlist button for a specific product, the correct product ID is captured.

Save Changes: After making any modifications to the code in the respective file, be sure to save the changes before previewing the Collection pages again.

Theme Compatibility: Consider the possibility that the custom code snippets may need to be adjusted slightly to be compatible with your specific theme. If the data binding or structure differs from what’s provided in the instructions, make the necessary adjustments accordingly.

By following these steps and ensuring that the wishlist icon and button snippets are correctly implemented within the loop for each product, you should be able to resolve the issue of the wishlist button only being displayed on the first product on the Collection pages.

Product items are not displayed properly on the My Wishlist page #

There might be two cases regarding this issue which we have discussed below:

Case 01: Choose the template right so that all the Product items get displayed correctly. To choose a template proceed to the “Online store” section and access the “Pages” option. Locate two pages named “wishlist” and “shared wishlist”. For both pages, select the corresponding theme template: “wishlist” for the “wishlist” page and “shared wishlist” for the “shared wishlist” page. With these steps completed, your product items will be displayed properly.

Case 02: After you have tried adding the template provided by us still on your wishlist page product items are not displayed properly then maybe you need to try changing settings regarding the Wishlist UI type like its color for the Background, color for the Text, Text Align, Width (only works for modal option), Padding- Top, Bottom, Left & Right.

The product title overlaps the Variant Title and price on the My Wishlist page #

Occasionally, there might be an issue where the product title overlaps with the variant title or price on the My Wishlist page, particularly when the product title is lengthy.

Case 01: To address this concern, we’ve fixed container heights on the Wishlist page to facilitate the horizontal alignment of products. However, this can sometimes result in element overlap if one of them exceeds the average length. Thankfully, resolving this is straightforward by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS area. Here you can also easily adjust the px value which is 50 here in this case according to your requirements.

.title11 {
height: 50px !important;
}

Case 02: You can also go into the app settings and find the button settings that help you adjust the various button sizes to remove the problem of overlapping.

The Add All button appears and then disappears on the My Wishlist page #

This issue can arise due to multiple reasons, some of which are listed below:

Case 01: Your style settings may not be applied correctly. To change the color, size of the text, color of the text, and various other options you can go to the app button settings page, where you will find all the settings related to this. If still you are not satisfied with the styling you can do Custom CSS also. To read about Custom CSS you can Click here.

Case 02: Maybe your browser cache is not cleared properly. So to do that clear your browser cache and then reload the web page again.
