How to add space between columns on Pipeline Theme

Topic summary

Main issue: In the Shopify Pipeline theme, adding more than three columns results in no space between the next row of columns and the custom button, affecting layout readability.

Proposed fix: Adjust theme CSS to add spacing below grid items.

  • Navigate: Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code.
  • Open the theme’s main CSS file (base.css, style.css, or theme.css).
  • Add a rule targeting .grid__item.large–one-third.medium–one-third.text-left with padding-bottom: 30px !important; then save.

Rationale: Adding bottom padding to each one-third width grid item introduces vertical spacing between rows/columns and adjacent elements (like the custom button).

Outcome: The original poster confirmed the guidance helped, indicating the issue was resolved with this CSS change.

Status: Resolved; no further questions or disagreements raised. Code snippet is central to the solution (CSS selector and padding value).

Hey Guys, I really don’t know why the programmers of the Pipeline Theme made such a code but if you add more than 3 columns there is literally no space between the next columns and the custom button.

I would be really grateful, if anyone could help me.

Thanks for helping!

Hi @TG42

Check this one.

From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.

Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.

In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.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:

.grid__item.large--one-third.medium--one-third.text-left {
    padding-bottom: 30px !important;
}

And Save.
