hide section on desktop using sections from section store?

Topic summary

A user is redesigning their Shopify store using free sections from the Section Store to avoid purchasing a $400 theme. They want to hide a specific section (Hero 23) on desktop while keeping it visible on mobile, since most visitors use mobile devices.

Current Issue:

  • CSS code successfully hides native theme sections but doesn’t work with Section Store sections
  • The user suspects this might be a limitation of third-party sections

Proposed Solution:

  • If hiding works, they plan to use a Dawn theme section for desktop only

Community Response:

  • Another user pointed out this was posted in the German community instead of US
  • Suggested the issue is likely CSS specificity or incorrect selectors
  • Third-party sections use unique class/ID structures that generic CSS (like .class { display: none; }) won’t target
  • Recommended contacting Section Store developers for proper implementation

Status: Unresolved - requires either correct CSS selectors or developer assistance

Hey everyone, I’m currently redesigning my shopify store. Because for now I refuse to spend 400 $ on a theme, I’m trying to get the best out of it with sections from the section store. I’ve found a section that I really like on mobile but not really on desktop (Hero 23). I’ve tried to hide it by pasting a css, however this only seems to work with the sections that come with the theme itself or am I wrong?? If it’s possible to hide this section on desktop, then I would just choose a section from Dawn theme and view it only on desktop, i think this will be finde since most of visitors are mobile phone users.

Thanks in advance for helping!

Anyway, the issue you’re describing is very likely CSS specificity or incorrect selectors. Third-party sections often have their own unique class or ID structure, so a general .class { display: none; } approach might not work. Best talk to the Section Store developers…
