Horizon Theme Update Problems

I have a few dev stores, and of course I want to try out Horizon.

I travel on over to the theme store from one of my dev stores, and I do the old “try theme” on the Horizon landing page. I notice the version is “1.0.1” which was released on May 22nd 2025.

When I add the theme to store, I am given version 1.0.0. When I visit the theme store, I am not graced with “Get The Latest Version”, but “try theme”. What gives here? It seems like I am locked into Version 1.0.0.

Furthermore, does the Horizon series of themes have some special install process? I noticed when I install the Horizon theme, the presets are different giving me different colors set and sometimes even a background image.

I am trying to archive theme versions as they come out, as there is no repo. Currently I feel significantly blocked from that, but most of all I seem blocked from upgrades.

Kindly asking, what gives? I have cross-posted this in some discord communities and the partner slack.

I think its just a mismatch in version numbers, all the other theme’s are 1.0.1.

Hi @Matthew_Crigger

I also notice that installing from the theme store will result in a lower version, but you can update from the admin:


Will flag this to the themes team

We did this via the Admin UX and it was fine.

Wondering why ‎snippets/collection-card.liquid was removed from 1.0.2, it wasn’t listed on the changelog.

Asking the team now!

I’m seeing the collection-card snippet in 1.0.2:

@Liam-Shopify

My bad, my private github seems to have deleted the file and re-added it completely.

Hey @Liam-Shopify ,

Wondering if you can help me out. My live theme isn’t showing the ability to update (even if I duplicate it) from v3.0.0 - even though another Horizon theme in my theme library is showing the ability to update. There’s a couple of updates in the v3.1 I’d really like to access.

Any ideas? I’ve attached screenshot below.

Thanks in advance!

Steve

I don’t think you can dup it in and then have it still linked to the theme store, kind of like the github integration.

We generally run github and then merge updates to the core theme

Hey Chris, don’t really understand what you’re saying here?

if you are importing the code then it isnt linked to the theme store, so doesnt receive updates.

Oh right - no I simply got the theme from the horizon theme from the theme store and it had been successfully updating till now, but seems to have broken at v3.0.0 and no longer prompting the updates?

oh my bad then, weird
