How can I rearrange the contents of my Dawn theme footer?

Topic summary

A user wants to rearrange their Dawn theme footer elements to display in a single horizontal line instead of stacked vertically.

Proposed Solutions:

  • CSS margin adjustment approach: Add custom CSS to the section-footer.css file to reduce bottom margins on footer newsletter blocks and social list elements (specifically setting margin-bottom: 60px and margin-bottom: 80px).

  • Flexbox layout approach: Apply display: flex styling to the outer footer div container and use align-items property to arrange footer contents in one line.

Status: The discussion remains open with two different CSS-based solutions offered but no confirmation of which approach the original poster implemented or whether either resolved the issue.

Hi @strawberrymlk .

I understand that you want to move the contents of the footer higher.

Try this.

  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 “section-footer.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.
.footer-block__newsletter {
    margin-bottom: 60px;
}
ul.footer__list-social.list-unstyled.list-social {
    margin-bottom: 80px;
}

Apply display flex style on outer div and then apply align-items start in css file in theme code. It will become in one line
