## **🔍 What Is Happening and Why** When you add the Search Atlas tracking script directly to your Shopify theme's **theme.liquid** file, it can interfere with how Shopify loads JavaScript for interactive elements like the mobile menu. Instead of rendering as a collapsible menu, the navigation may appear as plain, unstyled text. This happens because script placement affects the order in which the browser parses and executes JavaScript on the page. ## **⚠️ Before You Begin** Always back up your theme before editing any liquid files. In your Shopify Admin, go to **Online Store → Themes → Actions → Duplicate** to create a safe copy. This ensures you can restore your site instantly if anything goes wrong. ## **✅ Step-by-Step Fix** 1. **Log in to your Shopify Admin** and navigate to **Online Store → Themes**. 2. Next to your live theme, click **Actions → Edit Code**. 3. In the file list on the left, open **Layout → theme.liquid**. 4. Locate the Search Atlas script you previously added. It will look similar to a **``**. ## **📋 Quick Reference — Correct Script Placement** - **Correct location:** Immediately before **``** in theme.liquid - **Incorrect location:** Inside **``**, at the top of **``**, or inside any section or snippet file - **One instance only:** The script should appear exactly once across your theme ## **💬 Need More Help?** If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type **human teammate** to be connected with a member of our team.
