How can I increase the policy page width in Dawn 8.0 theme?

Topic summary

A user needed to increase the width of policy pages in the Dawn 8.0 theme, which were displaying too narrow.

Solutions Provided:

Multiple support teams offered CSS-based fixes:

  • Add custom CSS to the base.css file in the Assets folder:

    div.shopify-policy__container {
      max-width: 100ch;
    }
    
  • Alternative approach: Insert CSS directly into the theme.liquid file before the </head> tag:

    .shopify-policy__container {
      max-width: 100% !important;
    }
    

Resolution:
The user confirmed one of the suggested solutions worked successfully. All approaches involve accessing the theme code editor through Online Store > Themes > Edit code and adding CSS to override the default narrow width constraint on policy pages.

Hi @dikerr ,

Please add the code below to widen the page-width of your policy page.

  1. From your Admin page, go to Online store > Themes > click the three dots > Edit code
  2. Find the Asset folder, and open the base.css file
  3. Add the code below at the very end of the file
div.shopify-policy__container {
    max-width: 100ch;
}
