How can I decrease the space between my footer menus?

Topic summary

A user seeks to reduce spacing between footer menus in their Dawn theme (v6.0.2) store, providing before/after images showing desired tighter column spacing.

Two CSS solutions offered:

  1. First approach: Add CSS to base.css file targeting .footer__content-top .grid with row-gap: 6rem and margin adjustments for newsletter blocks (6% right margin, 5% left margin, 60% width).

  2. Second approach: Insert CSS in theme.liquid before </body> tag, using media query for screens min-width 750px to set footer grid wrapper width to 75%.

Both solutions use !important flags and media queries to control desktop layout. The discussion remains open with no confirmation of which solution worked or if the issue was resolved.

Hello @ni3

I would like to give you a solution to support you:

  1. Go to Online Store-> Theme-> Edit code
  2. Open your theme.liquid theme file
  3. Paste the below code before :
<style>
@media only screen and (min-width: 750px){
.footer__blocks-wrapper.grid.grid--1-col.grid--2-col.grid--4-col-tablet {
width: 75% !important;
}}
</style>
