How can I fix my clickable slideshow block appearing behind collapsible menus?

Topic summary

A user encountered a z-index layering issue on the Dawn theme where a clickable slideshow block appeared behind collapsible navigation menus (both desktop and mobile). This occurred after implementing custom code to make slideshow images clickable without buttons.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to: Online Store > Themes > Edit Code
  • Open the base.css file in the Assets folder
  • Add the following CSS at the end of the file:
.slideshow-component.slider-mobile-gutter {
  z-index: 1;
}

The fix successfully resolved the layering problem by adjusting the z-index property of the slideshow component. Three screenshots were shared demonstrating the issue, and the user confirmed the solution worked.

Hey everyone, I followed the advices from another Q&A on shopify community about making images in slideshow block clickable instead of adding a button, on the DAWN theme.

It is working, yet when in open the collapsible menus on top or on the left (when on mobile) it is behind the slideshow, as if it was in a first layout…

I’m shure it is quit simple to deal with but i am no a coder

Thanks on advance !
