# Fix Missing Pandectes Script After Theme Change

Guide for merchants to properly re-activate Pandectes after switching themes in Shopify.

### Introduction

When you switch to a new Shopify theme, customizations like app embeds and code snippets don’t automatically carry over. For **Pandectes GDPR Compliance** to work correctly, paid users must re-enable the app and reinsert the snippet into their new theme. This guide walks you through the necessary steps to ensure continued compliance and proper script loading for your storefront.

### How to Re-Enable the App Embed and Insert the Script

###### Step 1: Open Your Theme Customize Page

Navigate to **Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes **and click on** Customize**

### Step 2: Enable the Pandectes App Embed

1. On the theme editor page, click the **App embeds icon**.
2. Look for **"Pandectes Core"**.
3. Toggle it to **enabled**.
4. Click **Save** in the top right.

### Troubleshooting

* **Can’t find&#32;`theme.liquid`?**
Some Shopify 2.0 themes use a different file structure. Look for `layout/theme.liquid` or consult your theme’s documentation.

* **Still not working?**
