Topic summary

A user seeks to reduce footer spacing in their Shopify store but cannot locate the theme.css file.

Problem: Excessive spacing between footer sections needs adjustment without direct access to theme.css.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  • Locate the CSS file in the Assets folder (base.css, style.css, or theme.css)
  • Add custom CSS targeting footer elements:
    • .footer-block--newsletter with margin-top: 2rem !important
    • .footer__content-top with padding-bottom: 2rem !important
    • .animate--slide-in with padding-top: 0px !important

Outcome: The CSS solution successfully resolved the spacing issue. The user confirmed it worked after implementation.

Note: Spacing values can be adjusted if the reduction is too aggressive.

Thanks for the info, Try 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:
.footer__content-bottom.scroll-trigger.animate--slide-in {
    padding-top: 0px !important;
}
.footer__content-top {
    padding-bottom: 2rem !important;
}
.footer-block--newsletter {
    margin-top: 2rem !important;
}
