Missing images when install Materia
Why are images missing after I install the theme?
After installing the Materia theme, you may notice that some sections appear without images or show blank placeholders. Don’t worry — this is completely normal.
According to Shopify’s theme installation system, placeholder images are used instead of real demo images when a theme is added to a store. This is a platform-wide rule by Shopify to avoid licensing and storage issues.
How do I fix this?
You simply need to upload your own images based on the Materia layout. The theme structure, design, and features are already there — they just need to be filled in with your content.
🛠 Steps to update:
Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
Open any section that’s missing an image.
Upload your own image using the section settings.
Click Save once you’re done.
Is this a bug in Materia?
No, this is not a theme bug. The layout is loading as expected — Shopify just does not allow full demo images to be included during theme setup.
