Dawn theme - Footer - How to left align headings?

Topic summary

A user seeks to left-align footer headings in Shopify’s Dawn theme, which are center-aligned by default.

Solution Provided:
Add CSS code to the section-footer.css file:

.footer-block__heading { text-align: left; }

Implementation Steps:

  1. Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  2. Open Asset → section-footer.css
  3. Paste the code at the bottom of the file

Initial attempt failed due to incorrect code placement, but after correction, the solution worked successfully.

Follow-up Issue:
Another user reports a conflict—they want footer headings left-aligned while keeping other section headings center-aligned. Their existing CSS in base.css (.page-width h2 { text-align: center !important; }) overrides the footer-specific code.

The discussion remains open regarding how to maintain different alignments for footer versus other section headings when conflicting CSS rules exist.

Just need a hand with the Dawn theme. The footer headings are centre aligned and I’d like them left aligned. Also, the font colour looks semi-transparent? Can I make it a solid white?

Silly me! So sorry. Thank you it works perfectly.

Dear KetanKumar,

I want to also left-align my footer headings and this works fine.

BUT I also want the headings on the other sections to be center-aligned and I am using the following code which overwrites your code. IS there any way where I can have footer headings left-aligned whilst other headings center-aligned?

I added this code to base.css

.page-width h2 {
text-align: center!important;
display: block!important;
width: 100%;
}
