Hi,

We are new to Shopify.

Maybe add some padding to the left of the first menu in the footer?

Thanks for any help?

Hi @spicyprotect ,

  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.

You just like it to align center also the text itself also? like this.

footer.site-footer.small--text-center .grid {
    text-align: center
}

Or you just like to add the padding to place it in center.

footer.site-footer.small--text-center .wrapper {
    padding: 0  10px 0px 150px;
}

I hope it help.

Thank You !!!

Work Perfect
