Fix empty links in Shopify
Usually social icons, the logo, or linked product images.
Checked against Shopify's help docs on . Menu names can change; the source links below have the latest steps.
- Check the sample element in your dashboard to see which link has no text.
- Logo that links home: in Online Store > Themes > Customize, open the header, select the logo image, and add alt text such as "Your store name, home".
- Linked images in sections (collection tiles, banners): add alt text to those images in the theme editor. The alt text becomes the link's name.
- Social or cart icons: these come from the theme code. Ask your theme developer to add hidden text or an
aria-label(for example "Instagram"), or use the "Copy prompt" button for a developer or AI coding tool. - Updating your theme to its latest version often fixes icon labels.
Check it: publish your change, then run a new scan from your dashboard. The issue should drop off the list.
