Shopify Index does not recognize sections

Technical Q&A
1

Hey guys,

I’m using themekit and I’m developing a custom theme. I’ve always followed the same approach but for some reason on the homepage via customizer I keep getting the “No sections currently available for this page”

I made sure to add {{ content_for_layout }} on my theme.liquid file before the tag, and {{ content_for_index }} on my index.liquid file but I can’t seem to get it to work. I’m using theme watch on my terminal and everytime it pushes a change I don’t get any error messages.

I’m attaching screenshots of my theme files, right now they are very simple in terms of code as I have not started adding any major customizations.

Here is my theme.liquid file


  
  
  
  
  
  
  {{ content_for_header }} 
  {{ 'application.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
  {{ 'application.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}

  {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %}
    {% assign child_list_handle = link.title | handleize %}
    {% if linklists[child_list_handle].links != blank %}
      {{ link.title }}
      [{% for childlink in linklists[child_list_handle].links %}
        {{ childlink.title | escape }}
      {% endfor %}]
    {% else %}
      {{ link.title }}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}

  cart

  {% if shop.customer_accounts_enabled %}
    {% if customer %}
      account
      {{ 'log out'  | customer_logout_link }}
    {% else %}
      {{ 'log in ' | customer_login_link }}
      {{ 'register' | customer_register_link }}
    {% endif %}
  {% endif %}

And here is my index file

Arg! Hate to solve my own bugs. I forgot to add presets lol. Always

"presets": [{
    "name": "Hero Section",
    "category": "Hero Sections"
  }]

Hi buddy !

I am trying to add my custom section into my Home and i realized that index.liquid only has

{{ content_for_index }}

which points to a huge JSON.

My question is - Do you know where I should call my custom section to be available in the Homepage?

Thank you
