# FAQ

## Setting up

**My home page looks empty after installing. Is it broken?**

No. Roomfolk installs with its image and collection settings empty, because a theme cannot bring another store's photographs or collections with it. Sections draw placeholders until you fill them in. Work through [Set up your store](/roomfolk/getting-started/set-up-your-store.md).

**Where do I change my menus?**

In your Shopify admin under **Online Store → Navigation**, not in the theme editor. The theme displays whichever menu you point it at. See [Add your menus](/roomfolk/getting-started/menus.md).

**How do I get a dropdown menu?**

Add items underneath a top-level item in your menu. Two levels give a short dropdown, three give a full-width panel. The theme chooses which on its own.

**Can I change the colors of just one section?**

Yes — every section has a **Color scheme** setting. Set up the schemes once under [Theme settings → Colors](/roomfolk/theme-settings/colors.md) and point each section at the one you want.

## Products and collections

**Why are my filters not showing?**

Filtering is on by default, but which filters appear is set in Shopify's free **Search & Discovery** app, not the theme. Install it and configure your filters there.

**Why do some products show "Choose options" instead of "Add to cart"?**

Because they cannot be added without a choice. Two things put a product in that position: having options, where adding straight to the cart would mean guessing which size or color was wanted; and being sold only on subscription, where Shopify rejects an add that carries no delivery plan. Both link through to the product page instead.

**My product images are different shapes and the grid looks uneven.**

Set the card **Aspect ratio** to a fixed shape — Square, Portrait or Landscape — rather than Natural. Every card is then cropped the same way.

**Where do star ratings come from?**

A review app. The theme displays a rating where one has been supplied, and shows nothing where it has not. It does not collect or store reviews itself.

## Cart and checkout

**How do I switch between the cart drawer and the cart page?**

[Theme settings → Cart](/roomfolk/theme-settings/cart.md), under **Cart type**. The cart page exists either way.

**Why can I not change the color of the Shop Pay button?**

Shopify requires the express checkout buttons to keep their own branding. No theme can restyle them.

**The free shipping bar is not showing.**

It is hidden while the threshold is 0. Set it to the order total that earns free shipping — and set your actual shipping rates separately, in **Settings → Shipping and delivery**.

## Content

**Can I add my own code?**

Yes — use the [Custom Liquid](/roomfolk/sections/custom-liquid.md) section or block. Note that invalid Liquid will stop the page rendering.

**Do I need any apps to use this theme?**

No. Everything in Roomfolk is built on Shopify's own features. Shopify's free **Search & Discovery** app is worth having for filters and complementary products, but the theme works without it.

**Why are my product recommendations empty?**

Related products are worked out by Shopify from your catalog and order history. A new store may not have enough data yet, and the section shows nothing rather than an empty heading. Complementary products are ones you set yourself in **Search & Discovery**.

## Updates and editing

**Will I lose my settings when the theme updates?**

Your settings live with your store, not the theme file, so they carry across. If you have edited the theme's code, those edits do not — which is why editing code is worth avoiding unless you need to.

**Can I edit the code?**

You can, but duplicate the theme first and edit the copy. Support does not cover code you have changed. See [Support policy](/roomfolk/support/support-policy.md).

```
GET https://docs.lufavo.com/roomfolk/support/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
