How We Solved the Mystery of the Perpetual Sale Button in Studio Theme

Once upon a time, in the chaotic realm of online retailing, we stumbled into a puzzling enigma: the sale button that never left. It was persistent, plastered arrogantly across product pages of our beloved shop, campomadero.com. It was like that one friend who loves crashing your summer barbeque yet ends up stealing the show. Then one day, armed with nothing but our wits and a mug of extra-strong coffee, we set out on an adventure to reclaim our creative territory from the rogue sale button.

A Cupcake and a Plan: Getting to Know the Studio Theme

The challenge was plain to see, like missing icing on a cupcake. We had the charming Studio theme sketched on our digital canvas, and draped across it was the bold, uninvited sale button—a red slash of existential conundrum. It wasn’t just a matter of aesthetics; it was about pride. We were determined to learn, to hack, to banish that unwanted guest into the dark void of the internet. But first, we needed to truly look and understand the Studio theme code as one gazes deeply into the swirled abyss of their mocha latte.

Step 1: Gently unravel the threads; open the Shopify Admin console. Hackers and shop architects alike will navigate to Online Store > Themes. There, like an elusive four-leaf clover, we found our precious Studio theme.

The Code Forest: Channeling Our Inner Explorers

Diving into the code felt like jumping into a dense forest—where all paths look similar but only one leads to treasure. Our resolve didn’t dwindle. Like the explorers of yore, we sought that one variable, the lone tree in the forest that controlled the sale button—our code Nova Scotia, if you will.

Step 2: Overcoming hesitation, we clicked on Actions > Edit Code. This opened our very own Narnia of liquid files and scripts. We could almost hear the digital Narnian breeze calling us onward.

Unraveling Mysteries in product-price.liquid

Here, dear readers, is where we whisper secrets only spoken in hushed digital circles: the product-price.liquid file. It resides under Sections or Snippets, sometimes tucked away like a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered.

Step 3: We navigated to product-price.liquid. Now, here’s where the coffee met its critical summit—a bittersweet climax if you will.

In this file, we searched for any lines containing classes like sale, sale-badge, or our villainous sale-terminating keywords. Sometimes they lurk in plain sight, hidden amongst code poetry. We deleted or commented them out like vanquishing foes with a keyboard sword:

<!-- Removing the showcase of sale-badge -->
{%- comment -%}
  <span class="sale-badge">{{ 'products.product.on_sale' | t }}</span>
{%- endcomment -%}

Celebrating the Sweet Taste of Victory

There we stood, triumphant and exhaling digital relief, as the last remnants of the sale button faded away like mist over morning cereal. Our sacred product pages felt like home again, free from the tyranny of unauthorized discounts.

But ah—it wouldn’t truly be a fireside tale without a joyful anecdote. On our celebratory trek through undone code, we happened upon a bubbly bubble tea popup on a nearby store’s site as a thank you for our marvelous fix and celebrated with an online order of the finest digital pearls—a sweet token from the virtual universe itself.

In the end, our journey was more than a mere task; it was a testament to curiosity, persistence, and a love for our craft. To those of you embarking on the same quest at campomadero.com or elsewhere—in the digital gardens of Shopify—just know, you are not alone. We are all explorers together in this vast, mysterious codeosphere, seeking beauty and balance between the digital and the tangible. As long as there are sale buttons, empty coffee mugs, and wits unspent, we’ll continue sharing these delightful digital tales, one pixel at a time.

Now, go—explore, hack, and may your digital adventures bring joy and a dash of chaos.
