Blum All-Template Sections
Theme: Blum · Section type: Overview
All-template sections are sections you can add to any page template, for example a Slideshow on the homepage or a Testimonials section on a product page. Blum also has section groups (Header, Footer, and Overlay) that appear on every page of your store.
Note: Template-based sections, such as Product details or Collection products, belong to one template only. See the article Template-based section.

Understand section groups and template sections
Every page in Blum has 4 areas, from top to bottom:
Area | What it holds |
|---|---|
Header group | The Announcement bar and the Header. Shows on every page. |
Template | The sections of the page's template, for example the homepage or the product template. Each template has its own sections. |
Footer group | The Footer. Shows on every page. |
Overlay group | Popups that open over the page: Newsletter popup, Quick search, and Age verification. Works on every page. |
A change in a section group shows on every page. A change in a template shows on every page that uses that template.
Add an all-template section
- In the theme editor, open the template where you want the section, for example Home page.
- In the left sidebar, under Template, click Add section.
- Select a section, for example Image banner.
- Set up the section.
- Click Save.
Tip: To add a section to only one product or page, create a new template for it first. See the article Blum Templates.
Edit the header, footer, and overlay groups
- In the theme editor, open any page.
- In the left sidebar, click a section under Header, Footer, or Overlay.

Troubleshooting
I can't add a section to the header or footer.
Most sections can't be added to the Header or Footer group. Add them to a template instead, right above or below the content you want.
I added a section to a product page and it shows on every product.
All products that use the same template share its sections. Create a new product template and assign it to that product.
I can't find the Popup section.
The old Popup section is replaced by the Newsletter popup in the Overlay group. See the article Blum Popup.
