How can I transfer a custom footer to a new theme?

Hi there everyone!

Looking for some help - I currently have a custom footer that was done by a dev on my refresh theme in shopify but I am now changing over to dawn in a new theme and want to bring the same footer over. Is there a way to copy over JUST these files so that I don’t have to completely rebuild the footer in the new theme?

Thanks so much

Sure! You’ll want to copy everything both in the footer liquid file, as well as the CSS file for the footer.

Next, create a file in your new theme, and name it the same name as the previous file in your old theme. (It should just be footer.liquid, or something similar to that.) Paste your footer liquid code in this new file. Repeat this process for the CSS file.

In case there is a duplicate on the new theme, I would recommend renaming the footer file you don’t want, as a backup just in case.

Once saved, you should see it appear.

If you have any more questions about how to set this up, I’m happy to help!

I’ve tried that and both themes have the same footer.liquid and section-footer.css as each other - so when copied over the theme looks the same.

Have you got any other ideas?

Would you happen to have a link to both the old website and new website that you’re working on?
