Footer text spacing

Topic summary

A user is experiencing excessive spacing between lines of contact information in their store’s footer, describing it as appearing like double spacing.

Solutions Provided:

Three different CSS-based solutions were offered:

  1. Simplest approach: Add margin: 0; to .footer-block__details-content.rte p in the theme’s CSS file to remove default paragraph margins.

  2. Layout adjustment: Use media queries to set footer blocks to 25% width and center-align them, addressing overall footer structure.

  3. Refined spacing: Combine margin: 0 !important; with controlled padding (0.5rem top/bottom) in section-footer.css to match spacing with other footer elements.

Resolution:

The issue was resolved—the user confirmed the solution worked. All approaches involve editing the theme’s CSS files through Shopify admin (Online Store > Themes > Edit code), with screenshots provided showing before/after results demonstrating reduced line spacing.

Hi, I am having issues with the spacing in between the sentences for my contact information inside the footer. Its far too wide and looks like double spacing. How can I reduce this so the distance is not as big? Thanks

Hi @beveragebombs

TRy this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on ā€œOnline Storeā€ and then ā€œThemesā€.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on ā€œActionsā€ and then ā€œEdit codeā€.
  3. In the ā€œAssetsā€ folder, click on ā€œbase.css, style.css or theme.cssā€ file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
.footer-block__details-content.rte p {
    margin: 0;
}

Hello @beveragebombs ,

Here are the steps to apply the necessary changes in your Shopify store:

  1. In your Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code.
  2. Locate Asset > section-footer.css and paste the following code at the bottom of the file:
.footer-block__details-content.rte p {
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding-top: 0.5rem !important;
    padding-bottom: 0.5rem !important;
}

The spacing between the contact options is same as left block options.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Thankyou!
