Change collage images height and text above image

Topic summary

Shopify newcomer seeks help customizing a theme’s collage section. Goals: (1) change the collage image height so images aren’t forced into square crops or oversized when “adapt to content” creates unwanted rectangles; (2) reposition the text overlay so it appears above the image instead of on top of it.

Current behavior: collage block seems to limit image aspect options to square or content-adaptive rectangles, and the smallest available setting still appears too large.

A screenshot of the collage layout was provided (image is central to understanding the visual issue). No code was shared.

Next steps: a responder requested the store URL and, if applicable, the password to inspect the theme and provide targeted guidance.

Status: unresolved and awaiting store access details; no solution or code changes proposed yet.

Hi, I’m a new user of Shopify and I need help with two things:

  • How can I change the height of the images in the collage content block? The images are cut to be squared, but the only way I can change the block size is by making it adapt to content (which turns in rectangles) or smaller size possible with turns out really big
  • How can I move the text from on top of the image to above of it?

Hi @mateomateo , kindly provide your store URL please and if it is password protected, please share the password as well. Thanks
