Hello! I have 6 links on my nav bar. I would like three of them mid center, then the logo in the middle, and the last 3 nav bar links mid center. I’ve made the separate nav bars labeled right and left, played with the code, alignment, and custom css in the different asset folders and on-page css and I can’t figure out how to do it. The theme is Refresh.
Topic summary
A user wants to split their navigation bar into three links on the left, logo in the center, and three links on the right in their Refresh theme.
Initial Problem:
- Attempted solutions using custom CSS, alignment settings, and asset folder modifications were unsuccessful
- CSS-only approach confirmed insufficient for this layout change
Solution Provided:
- Requires editing theme files:
header.liquidandheader-dropdown-menu.liquid - A working implementation was created on a test store
- Updated code files shared for review and implementation
- Test store reference link provided: mangit.myshopify.com
Implementation:
- Code snippets include header structure, stylesheet references, and schema settings
- Involves modifying logo position settings and menu structure
- User advised to copy updated portions into their template files
- Offer extended for clarification if confusion arises during implementation
Hi @justjami ,
The change you are mentioning will require updating the theme files. This is not possible by only adding CSS on the site. I will be working on this feature on my test store and let you know when its done.
Hi @justjami ,
I have completeted the changes on my test store. I had to update two file “header.liquid” and “header-dropdown-menu.liquid”. I have added the updated files here. Review the changes and copy the updated parts on your template files. If you have any confussion while implementing the changes, you can let me know.

{% assign total_items = section.settings.menu.links | size %}
