If you no longer need a particular feed configuration, you can delete it from Drip Socials. Deleting keeps your app tidy and removes feeds you've stopped using.
Delete a Feed
- Open Drip Socials from your Shopify admin.
- Locate the feed block you want to remove in your list of feeds.
- Choose to delete it.
- Confirm the deletion.
Once deleted, the feed configuration is permanently removed from Drip Socials.
What Happens on Your Storefront
Deleting a feed block removes its configuration. If that feed's block identifier is still referenced by an InstaPulse Feed block in your theme, that placement will no longer have a valid feed to load and will appear empty.
To avoid empty spots on your storefront:
- Before deleting, note which theme locations use the feed's identifier.
- After deleting, open your theme editor and either remove the corresponding InstaPulse Feed block or point it at a different, still-active feed identifier.
When to Delete vs. Edit
- Delete a feed only when you're sure you no longer want it anywhere on your store.
- Edit instead if you just want to change how a live feed looks — this keeps the same identifier and avoids empty theme blocks. See Edit or Update a Feed Block.
Tips
- Deletion is permanent, so double-check you've selected the right feed.
- Clean up the matching theme blocks right after deleting to prevent blank sections.
- If you're only pausing a feed temporarily, consider leaving it in place rather than deleting it.
