Hi Fe!

Thanks for reaching out about the issues you are facing with exporting and importing themes.

Typically this happens when the template references a metafield or metaobject in the exporting store that doesn’t exist in the store the theme is being imported to. It can also be due to an issue with the code in the file.

When this happens you can still manually create the template files in the theme code editor, and then copy and paste the content of the files in. When saving the template, the code editor will tell you what the issue is so you can address it.

Let me know if this doesn’t resolve the issue for you!

Thanks Paige - yes it could be the metafields

it would be nice if the import script could tell us when there is an error and what it might be… :slight_smile:
