Why don't Shopify changes show in my menu?
Which product, collection and navigation changes update the menu automatically, and which need an edit.
Short answer
It depends on what you changed. The menu remembers which products, collections, blogs and pages you picked (by their handle, the last part of their URL), but reads their details live from your store.
Why it happens
These update automatically, with no action needed:
- Product title, price, compare-at price, image and sold-out status in product blocks.
- Collection title and image in collection blocks.
- The products shown in a Product list that uses a collection as its source.
- The posts shown in blog blocks.
How to fix it
These don’t update automatically. Edit the menu, then click Save and Publish:
- Menu item titles and links you entered, including items created from a collection or page. Renaming a collection in Shopify doesn’t rename the menu item.
- Changed handles (URLs). If you change the URL of a product, collection or page, the menu still points to the old one. Select it again in the item or block.
- Deleted or unpublished products, collections or pages. Remove them from the menu.
- Online Store > Navigation. App menus aren’t linked to your Shopify navigation. A menu created with Build it for me copies your navigation once and doesn’t sync with it afterwards. Change the items in the app instead.
