Dawn theme reduce product description width

Topic summary

Issue: Product description on a Dawn (Shopify) product page is too wide; requester wants to reduce its width. They also placed the description below the images using Liquid: {{ product.description }}.

Key suggestions:

  • CSS approach (most concrete): Add in Assets > base.css/style.css/theme.css
    @media screen and (min-width: 750px) { .product.grid .product__info-container { max-width: 30rem; } }
    This limits the info container width on desktop; a screenshot was provided showing a narrowed description.
  • Another reply suggested adding code in theme.liquid but did not include any actual code snippet.

Requests for details:

  • Multiple helpers asked for the store/product page URL (and password if protected) to verify selectors and layout.

Notes/terms:

  • Dawn: Shopify’s default theme.
  • Liquid: Shopify’s templating language used to output content (e.g., product.description).
  • CSS: Styles to control layout/width.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Awaiting the store/product URL and confirmation whether the CSS selector works with the custom placement of the description. Potential follow-up: selector may need adjustment if the description isn’t inside .product__info-container.
