Hello,

I’m trying to center the headings and content on all the pages on our website. It seems to be set up properly on the home page but the remaining pages by default are left. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you again in advance

Hey, to align the headers, for example H1, add the following code to the bottom of your base.css file.

h1 {
    text-align: center !important;
}

Hi @TC13 ,

This is Anthony from Beae Landing Page Builder, and I’m happy to assist you today.

While I acknowledge that this issue falls short of the desired outcome, I have an idea that I believe might be of help:

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code
  2. Open your theme.liquid file
  3. Paste below code before :

Best regards,

Anthony

Thank you so much! This works great for the headings on all the pages! Is there a way to also have the content, images and text to appear centered?

Thank you

Hi @TC13

Check this one.

  • From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  • Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  • In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
.rte p {
    text-align: center;
}
  • And Save.

i hope it help.

Maybe you like to center the copyright also.. :sweat_smile:

Use this.

.footer__content-bottom-wrapper.page-width {
    justify-content: center;
}

Nice to see all align.

I love that idea! unfortunately the copyright part didn’t take but the rest worked perfectly Sweet! I appreciate all your assistance!

Try this one again in the footer.

.footer__content-bottom-wrapper.page-width {
display:flex;
justify-content: center !important;
}

Unfortunately that didn’t work but that was such an amazing idea I’ll certainly keep working at that until the copyright is centered as well. Such a great idea and it will improve the look greatly, Thanks so much for all of your assistance!

I found another solution.

Same Instruction.

.footer__content-bottom .footer__copyright.caption {
margin: auto;
padding-top: 10px;
}

Just a reminder Im just suggesting. :sweat_smile: You dont need to do it.
