Taming the Editions Theme: A Guide to Removing FAQ and Promotion Banners

You know that moment when you're trying to put together an Ikea bookshelf? You’ve meticulously spread out all the pieces, examined the barely decipherable instructions, and then—bam!—there's one mysterious screw leftover with no visible home. That was us with the Editions theme on Shopify. We poured over our digital storefront akin to flat-packed puzzle solvers, convinced we’d mastered it, only to be stumped by rogue FAQ sections and empty promotion boxes dangling awkwardly where they shouldn’t.

The Curious Case of the Never-Ending FAQ

So here we are, friends, at the crossroads where a lonely FAQ refuses to budge from beneath our product stories. The gut instinct is to glare at the screen, hoping sheer willpower will delete it—alas, technology isn't telepathic (yet).

Luckily, the solution isn't as elusive as a single missing Allen wrench. Here's how we can demystify this phenomenon:

Access Your Shopify Admin: Navigate to your Shopify admin by inputting your store's URL. A familiar landscape, yes, like the comforting clatter of Lego blocks ready to form countless creations.
Go to 'Online Store' Under 'Themes': Picture this as leafing through the instruction manual to find that elusive 'do this' page.
Customize: Click on the big, inviting 'Customize' button of your currently published theme.
Choose the 'Products' Section: On the left, you'll see an accordion of options. Like picking toppings on a pizza, only here we're choosing which sections of our product we want to keep or toss.
Scroll to the Bottom Sections: Skim down to the FAQ entry, much like finding that flyaway page missing from the manual.
Locate 'Remove Block' or Toggle Visibility: If there's a visible toggle or a 'Remove block' option there, you've struck gold! Deactivate it with the kind of liberating click usually reserved for unsubscribing from spam.

For those who prefer a bit of code wrangling—armed with coffee and determination—the alternative requires a jaunt into the 'Edit Code' section, diving into the product-template.liquid or page.liquid files. A gentle nudge here with a  around relevant FAQ code chunks can hide it away like Narnia behind an armoire door.

Promotion Boxes: Ghosts in the Machine

Next on the docket, like a duo of twin-sized socks with no pair, we've got empty promotion banners. They're just sitting there awkwardly, begging the question of what exactly is being promoted (the art of nothingness, perhaps?).

Here's the roadmap to a promotion-free Zen space:

Head Back to 'Customize' in Online Store: We'd call it home-base if this were a baseball game because all roads eventually lead here.
Dive into 'Products' Once More: Yes, back again. Like that time you left the house three times before remembering the grocery list.
Your Eyes Seek 'Promotion' Sections: Located typically in the auxiliary zones of the design, lurking stealthily near the bottom.
Toggle, Toggle, Toggle: If they have displayed blocks or settings presented, simply tag or uncheck the box for "Show promotion" or similar.

Alternatively, the coding route beckons—with its temper and technical beauty. Skim into product-template.liquid and grant yourself clearance to comment out the inconspicuous 'promotion' sections. Those dratted, empty carriers will be evicted posthaste.

Triumphantly Minimal: Our New Page Awaits

Like high-fiving a loved one after putting together that bookshelf—standing proud and unscathed—we've sailed through the digital fray and emerged victorious. Our individual product pages now glow with clarity and relevance, free from the tyranny of rogue FAQs and cryptic promotions.

And honestly, our gratitude goes to the folks like Tom in the Shopify forums who connected dots we didn't even see existed, who shared that secret sauce recipe, and brought us together through collective wisdom.

So let's raise a virtual glass, cherish this small victory, and revel in the joy of clutter-free product perspectives. May our further adventures in e-commerce land be as smooth as a jazz melody on a Sunday afternoon.

Stay curious, stay irreverent, and remember—the tiniest changes often breed the biggest joys. Cheers to that!
