How to Comment in Stencil Themes for BigCommerce
A forum request to comment out code in a BigCommerce Stencil theme leads to it still displaying on the website.
Problem
HI, I would like to remove the address in the Footer, i am using Lifestyle theme. I have "comment" in the Edit Theme --> Component --> Common --> Footer
<!--{{#if settings.address}}-->
<!--<article class="footer-info-col footer-info-col--small" data-section-type="storeInfo">-->
<!-- <h5 class="footer-info-heading">{{lang 'footer.info'}}</h5>-->
<!-- <address>{{nl2br settings.address}}</address>-->
<!-- {{#if settings.phone_number}}-->
<!-- <strong>{{lang 'footer.call_us' phone_number=settings.phone_number}}</strong>-->
<!-- {{/if}}-->
<!--</article>-->
<!--{{/if}}-->
however it does not work. Can someone point please enlighten me and how to fix it?
Solution
These HTML comments are being skipped over by handlebars, which need to be formatted like:
{{!-- #if settings.account.address --}}
Alternatively, you could just delete the entire section you are trying to comment out, it won't effect anything.
