Footer Layout

Topic summary

A user seeks help repositioning their footer’s newsletter subscription field to align horizontally with other menu items, specifically wanting it on the right side next to social icons.

Initial Issue:

  • Newsletter subscription currently displays below other footer elements
  • Goal: Move subscription to same row as menu items, positioned on the right
  • Site was initially password-protected but has been unlocked for troubleshooting

Technical Challenge:

  • Social icons and newsletter exist in separate containers with a shared parent
  • Simple repositioning isn’t possible without editing Liquid template files

Proposed Solution:
A helper provided CSS code to be added to the theme’s stylesheet (base.css/style.css/theme.css):

  • Uses flexbox layout with display: flex and flex-direction: row
  • Applies flex-grow: 1 to newsletter block
  • Adds align-items: baseline for vertical alignment
  • Targets screens with minimum width of 749px

Latest Request:
User now asks to move subscription to the third column instead and add a small description text below the “Subscribe to our emails” title.

Status: Ongoing - awaiting further customization assistance.

Hello!

This is what my footer currently looks like. How can I move the subscription field on the same level as the other menu items? I would like the subscription field to be on the right side (next to the socials). My url: www.jimindraws.com

I’d like it to look something like this where the subscription is on the same row as the other elements.

Hi @jimindraws

Thanks for the info, i try to exchange the social icons and the newsletter but no luck at all. Why? The links together the social icons are on same container. The newsletter is on the different container but they have a parent that hold them together in whole container that is why I manage to align them. To exchange the social and newsletter you need to edit some of the liquid.

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:

@media only screen and (min-width: 749px){
.footer__content-top.page-width {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
}
.footer__blocks-wrapper.grid.grid--1-col.grid--2-col.grid--4-col-tablet.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in {
    flex-grow: 1;
}
.footer-block--newsletter.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in {
    margin-top: 0px;
    align-items: baseline;
}
}

And Save.

Sorry, can you help me move the subscription on the third column? Also, is it possible to display a small description below the “subscribe to our emails” title like the screenshot below?
