Add previous and next buttons to Dawn theme

Store Design

Topic summary

Users are seeking to add previous/next navigation buttons to product pages in Shopify’s Dawn theme without using paid apps.

Initial Solution (Older Dawn versions):

  • Modify snippets > product-card.liquid: Update the product URL code to include collection context
  • Edit sections > main-product.liquid: Add Liquid code to display previous/next links using collection.previous_product and collection.next_product
  • One user successfully implemented this with custom styling to show “<< Previous | Next >>”

Dawn 3.0+ Compatibility Issue:

  • The original solution stopped working after Dawn 3.0 update due to code structure changes
  • For Dawn 3.0: Modify sections > featured-collection.liquid instead, adding collection context to the product_card_product parameter

Dawn 7.0 Challenge:

  • Multiple users report that snippets > product-card.liquid no longer exists in Dawn 7.0
  • The file structure has changed, making the original instructions inapplicable
  • No confirmed solution provided yet for Dawn 7.0

The discussion includes code snippets and screenshots (text appears reversed in some posts). Users are directed to create separate community questions for version-specific help.
