My theme doesn't have the index.liquid file

When installing the Reviews Carousel, UGC Media Grid, Judge.me Medals widget, Verified Reviews Counter, or the All Reviews Counter, if you can't find an index.liquid file in your theme, check if you see an index.json file instead.

If your theme has an index.json file instead of index.liquid, you’re using an Online Store 2.0 theme, which allows you to install the widgets using app blocks instead.

Follow the steps in these articles install the widgets using app blocks instead:
