**Oops! I messed up big time. I accidentally deleted the ‘footer.liquid’ file in my Providence theme on Shopify. Now I’m stuck!
When I try to make a new footer.liquid file in the sections folder, I keep getting this weird error:
New schema is incompatible with the current setting value. Invalid type value for block '1234567890'. Type must be defined in schema.
This error shows up for multiple blocks with different numbers. It’s driving me crazy! I have no clue what this means or how to fix it.
Has anyone run into this before? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get my footer back without breaking everything?
I’m pretty new to Shopify theme editing, so any help would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Accidentally deleting your footer.liquid file can be really frustrating. I’ve experienced similar setbacks when working with Shopify themes, where the error indicates a mismatch between the new schema and the existing settings. In my case, restoring the file from a fresh install of the Providence theme resolved the issue. Alternatively, adjusting or resetting the footer settings in the theme customizer helped align the schema properly. If these methods don’t work, reaching out to Shopify support for guidance has proven beneficial. I understand the challenge and hope this approach assists in resolving your error.
I’ve encountered this exact issue before, and it can be quite tricky to resolve. The error you’re seeing typically occurs when there’s a mismatch between the schema defined in your new footer.liquid file and the existing theme settings. To fix this, you’ll need to ensure your new footer.liquid file has the correct schema that matches the theme’s expectations.
One approach that worked for me was to download a fresh copy of the Providence theme and copy its footer.liquid file directly into my theme. This ensures you have the correct schema and structure. After doing this, you may need to reconfigure your footer settings in the theme customizer.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, you might need to clear your theme cache or reset your footer settings entirely. Remember to back up any custom configurations before making significant changes. Good luck with resolving this!
