Starting January 13, 2026, Shopify is enforcing stricter Liquid parsing for all themes. This improves code quality, prevents syntax errors, and enables future Liquid enhancements.

Standardization of Asset URL Version Parameters
We're updating the format of versioning query parameters appended to store assets such as CSS and JS. Previously, some assets used a bare numeric query parameter, (for example, ?108 ), while others used a key-value format with the v query parameter. Moving forward, all asset URLs will consistently use the ?v=VERSION_STRING format for versioning.
