Hey, On Dawn you can add an independent email sign-up banner section that isn’t embedded into the footer. I want to add a background image to this. I will send an example below.
Topic summary
A user wants to add a background image to the standalone email signup banner section in Shopify’s Dawn theme.
Initial Solution Attempt:
- A responder provided code to create a custom footer section (
footer-second.liquid) with newsletter signup functionality - This included extensive Liquid template code for styling, localization, and form elements
- However, this solution created a second footer section rather than adding a background image to the existing signup banner
Revised Approach:
After clarification, the responder offered a simpler CSS-based solution:
- Upload the desired background image to Assets
- Add CSS code to
base.csstargeting the newsletter wrapper:.newsletter .newsletter__wrapper { background: url(filename.jpg) no-repeat center; background-size: cover; } - Replace the filename with the actual uploaded image name
Status: The discussion provides a working CSS solution, though implementation confirmation is pending.
Hi @Giorolling ,
May I suggest to update code these steps:
-
Go to Store Online-> theme → edit code
-
Sections-> Add a new section → footer-second.liquid
- Add code below to this file
{% comment %}theme-check-disable UndefinedObject{% endcomment %}
{{ 'section-footer.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- style -%}
.footer {
margin-top: {{ section.settings.margin_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.footer {
margin-top: {{ section.settings.margin_top }}px;
}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

Hi,
I thought you would like to show an newsletter section full width bedtweend footer links and copyright.
May I suggest to update code these steps:
-
Go to Store Online-> theme → edit code
-
Assets-> click add a new asset
-
Upload your background image file
-
Assets/base.css
-
add code below to end of file
.newsletter .newsletter__wrapper {
background: url(Aeroplane-chess-669_840.jpg) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}
- Replace “Aeroplane-chess-669_840.jpg” with your file name that you uploaded in step 3
