Dawn Theme: Custom Multi-Column with Individual Buttons

Topic summary

A user implemented custom code to create a three-column multicolumn section in Shopify’s Dawn theme but encountered issues with individual buttons for each column. The buttons appeared in the editor but wouldn’t save properly or function on the live site.

Problem Evolution:

  • Initially, button links wouldn’t save and buttons appeared ghosted on the homepage
  • After troubleshooting, buttons displayed but still wouldn’t link to saved pages when clicked

Solution Provided:
Dan-From-Ryviu provided updated code snippets (posts #2 and #6) that resolved the button functionality issue. The corrected code included proper schema settings for button labels and links.

Follow-up Questions:

  • One user asked how to change button colors from black (#000000) to pink (#FE20E6)
  • Another user asked where to add the code in their store
  • Dan-From-Ryviu requested store links and offered to provide CSS code for color customization

Status: The original issue is resolved, with secondary customization questions still being addressed.
