Solving the "Desde" Mystery in Shopify: A Fun Tech Adventure

You know, we’ve all had those days when technology decides to throw a tantrum — like a toddler in a toy store. Just last week, I was rearranging my virtual closet, so to speak, on Shopify when everything seemed a little too "a partir de Desde" for my liking. It’s hilarious how one tiny glitch can spawn into an adventure worthy of its own reality TV show. Let’s walk through one such journey together, shall we? It’s about tackling that pesky, unwanted text before prices. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and let's embark on this noble quest.

The Great "Desde" Conundrum

Remember when you first stumbled upon that Spanish word — "Desde" — that had mysteriously camped before every price on your Shopify store? It felt like it was there to stay, like an uninvited guest at a party who’s somehow charming enough to blend in at first but then overstays their welcome. Our friend Jenny, who runs a t-shirt store, faced this exact conundrum last summer. Let’s look at how she sorted this out without having to torch her entire store setup and start from scratch.

Step 1: Consulting the Local Wiseman — Themes Section

First off, Jenny started with the Themes section in Shopify because, sometimes, your theme might be guilty of sneaking rogue text where it doesn't belong. Here's the process she followed:

1. Head to Online Store on your Shopify Admin.
2. Click on Themes.
3. Choose Actions next to your published theme and click Edit Code.

Now, proceed with curiosity and caution, young grasshopper!

Step 2: Finding the Mischievous Code Gremlin

Jenny, armed with potent determination and a playlist of lively tunes, began hunting through Theme files like she was on a treasure quest. Especially focus on:

• Snippets folder, common place for modifications.
• Sections folder, particularly the product-template.liquid.
• Templates and Assets potentially containing price-modifying scripts.

Use Ctrl+F to search the files for terms like "Desde". It’s like playing the game of Where's Waldo, except Waldo is hiding in lines of code.

Step 3: The Joys of Liquid Language — Taming the Beast

Jenny found a snippet — here’s where fun begins — responsible for the rogue "Desde". A bit of liquid code that read something like:

{% if product.price %}
  Desde {{ product.price | money }}
{% endif %}

"I found you!" she exclaimed, waking up her cat who was peacefully napping by her side. She edited it to remove "Desde":

{% if product.price %}
  {{ product.price | money }}
{% endif %}

Save and preview, like opening your curtains to a new day.

Step 4: The Undo Button We All Wish Existed in Life

As elated as she was, Jenny double-checked everything. It’s always good to keep a backup of any original code, like keeping a stash of chocolate for emergencies. To avoid any mishaps, you can duplicate your theme before editing.

1. In your Themes page, click Actions on your current theme.
2. Hit Duplicate.

A security blanket against potential tech meltdowns.

Step 5: Language Settings — Those Tricky Little Fellows

If the theme didn’t house the mischievous "Desde", Jenny’s plan B was the Language Settings. Despite being scorched once or twice, this world still held potential:

1. Go to Settings > Store Languages.
2. Click on Change Theme Language.
3. Browse or search each text field for "Desde".

Sometimes stepping back to these broader settings can shine the light you were missing.

The Victory March

With "Desde" suitably vanished like the mischievous sprite it was, Jenny’s checkout was cleaner than a meticulously polished mirror. Relief was her trusty sidekick.

As I reminisce about Jenny's victory, it’s a reminder that tech isn’t here to mock us but to challenge us, like a quirky best friend. So, let’s tackle those challenges with humor, humility, and of course, an occasional celebratory dance when we emerge victorious.

May your stored hearts be free from glitchy trials, and your successes shared over digital campfires! Now go forth and unravel those pesky mysteries in your Shopify world with newfound wisdom and a little more tech swagger!
