Version 1.8.0 — Published October 8, 2026

1.8.0 is published in the Shopify Theme Store. Check your theme’s version and update notification in Shopify admin, then review the updated draft before publishing it to your store.

Fit Check 1.8.0 improves localized storefront and theme-editor wording, search assistance and preserved starter content across supported languages.

Fixes and other improvements

  • Filter Island options wrap fully within the compact columns, wrapped rows keep their dividers aligned, and focused controls stay clear of the title. Sorting supports keyboard selection and remains available after reopening. Swatch labels now follow the existing setting in the drawer.

  • Filter Island labels now retain the configured text color at full strength for clearer contrast.

  • Purchase buttons now follow the current purchase option after a pending add finishes.

  • Products without pickup-enabled locations no longer show an empty Store info action after variant changes.

  • Search result counts and gift-message character counts stay readable with customized colors.

  • Ordinary announcement bars remain usable with floating and transparent headers, including when an Island announcement is also present. Headers above ordinary announcements use their configured regular colors.

  • Collection card images now follow the selected image ratio consistently, including portrait collection and product images.

  • Announcement bars no longer override heading or text alignment elsewhere in the theme.

  • Images with product links now retain alternative-text attributes, including decorative images without descriptions.

  • Country-search reset buttons now offer a larger pointer target.

  • Purchase-option controls in cart recommendations now announce their actual open or closed state when returning from quick add.

  • Reset now cancels pending search replies, dismissed suggestions stay closed, new desktop chat replies remain visible, and exact collection searches return consistent answers after reload.

  • Improved accessible grouping of search results.

  • Corrected Spanish cart quantity wording, countdown units and editor guidance for menus, announcements and review authors. Custom labels are preserved.

  • Improved filter-count, email-placeholder and empty SKU readability, and cart drawer accessibility. Existing customized email transparency is preserved.

  • Country searches with no matches now show an accessible empty state and keep keyboard focus clear of hidden results.

  • Search suggestions now display translated punctuation and singular result messages correctly. Customized translations are preserved.

  • Improved Italian storefront text, editor labels and defaults for sizing, stock, gift card balances, comparisons, typography, pagination, reviews, countdowns and FAQs. Italian remaining-stock defaults now work for every quantity. Custom text is preserved.

  • Improved Brazilian Portuguese storefront and editor wording for commerce, product details, controls and starter content, including recognition of frete searches. Custom text is preserved.

  • Older Brazilian Portuguese low-stock text now displays the remaining quantity correctly.

  • Starter buttons linking to all products now preserve the selected storefront language.

  • Corrected Japanese countdown, comparison, navigation, product-feature, media and typography wording. Varying prices now follow each language’s word order while preserving customized price prefixes.

  • Quick-add recovery messages now use the storefront language when an unexpected error occurs.

  • Clarified French labels for image proportions, card tilt, controls and product characteristics, and improved policy searches.

  • Corrected Korean storefront and editor wording for commerce, countdowns, accessibility and starter content while preserving custom text.

  • Fixed size-guide conversion of tilde-separated ranges and remaining quantities in older Korean stock text.

  • Clarified German controls for loading, capitalization, borders, product features and purchase options, and made customer-facing starter text more consistent.

  • Improved German recognition of refund, return-policy and about-us searches.

  • Improved accessible headings in search conversations and labels for filter groups.

  • Localized additional unchanged preset text, comparison feature names and specification labels when shoppers switch languages. Text that differs from those defaults is preserved.

  • Corrected remaining-stock counts in Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.

  • Corrected translated rich-text defaults displaying HTML tags as text and added translations for revised Relic and Destill starter copy. Existing translation keys are retained. Formatted customization uses the corresponding HTML translation key; older custom entries keep their previous behavior when their escaped output differs from the shipped default.

  • Improved localized search prompts, help responses and suggestions, recently viewed controls, collection counts, cart headings, and recovery messages across supported languages.

  • Improved Spanish help-query recognition and count wording, and localized fallback media descriptions and carousel announcements.

  • Corrected duty and tax notices, singular search and country result announcements, localized customer and article dates, and translated unchanged stock, SKU, tab, disclosure, comparison and milestone defaults.

  • Fixed custom translations containing special characters interrupting storefront scripts.

  • Pickup information now opens correctly from purchase options and follows the selected variant, with reliable focus after closing. Pickup dialogs retain their CSS classes and now sit directly under the page body; custom styles should target those classes directly.

  • Rapid variant changes now preserve the selected variant in product links and after reload.

Review before updating

Version 1.7.0 — Preset Installation

  • New Relic  and Destill  installs open with their intended layouts and merchant-neutral starter copy.
  • New preset installs no longer depend on demo-store product, collection, image, video, page-link, or custom-metafield selections. Connect your own content in the theme editor.
  • Destill now opens on its home page instead of a 404. Its text spacing choices and two translucent Product details containers were also adjusted for readability.
  • Existing saved merchant content is not replaced by these new-install defaults. See Installation before trying a preset.

Version 1.6.0 — Editorial and Content Sections

  • Added an optional Editorial product template with a media stage, a focused product-information column, and a thumbnail rail.
  • Added Store benefits and Stories sections. Stories can show image or video circles with a viewer; a Review carousel can present video-led customer stories.
  • Updated the supplied Fit Check home layout and Destill product layout. Merchants can keep their existing saved templates and add relevant sections where useful.

Version 1.1.0 — Product Media Gallery and Product Links

  • Portrait + Cover is the shipped/default gallery mode for new/default product galleries. The fixed portrait frame maximizes and centers within each column and the available section height, cropping each source inside the frame.
  • Auto + Cover remains the gap-free mode. Equal-width 1-, 2-, and 3-column desktop slots use the complete available Product details section height and crop each source within its slot.
  • Fixed Portrait, Square, and Landscape frames keep their selected shape and use Cover to crop or Fit to preserve the complete source.
  • A fixed ratio can intentionally leave space above and below the frame, especially with Square or Landscape and 2–3 desktop columns. Reduce it through Product details > Section height > Custom and adjust Custom height.
  • Auto + Fit preserves each uploaded image’s natural aspect ratio without cropping.
  • Mobile remains a one-column swipe carousel and respects the selected ratio and Cover/Fit behavior; Hint pagination can show part of the next slide without forcing a crop.
  • Image and video Product link blocks now include Product link action. Keep the default Open product page behavior or choose Open quick add for product-backed cards.
  • Custom URLs always open their assigned destination. Quick add uses the existing purchase modal for applicable options and purchase controls, supports keyboard close/focus return, and keeps a product-page link available if purchase options cannot load.
  • Version 1.1.0 is a backward-compatible minor update because it changes merchant-visible gallery behavior, changes the default for new/default gallery blocks, and adds the opt-in Product link action setting. Existing saved setting IDs, values, types, and options remain compatible; public CSS classes and the purchase flow are unchanged.

  • Added curated Block references for the highest-value merchant-facing block families: variant picker, buy buttons, quantity, product information, product disclosures, stock status, sizing fit, product item, container, text, image, video, button, Custom Liquid, product links, content blocks, accordion/tabs, and forms.
