Hello,

I want to align the heading along with the text in the footer section to the left. By default, it’s aligned centrally as shown in the pic below.

Hi @randomchikibum ,

Try this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.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:
  4. And Save.
.footer-block.grid__item.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in {
    text-align: left;
    margin-left: 0px;
}

Result:

I hope it help.
