How to adjust footer and align social media links in Dawn theme?

Topic summary

A user seeks help aligning social media icons with footer links and adjusting copyright text positioning in the Dawn theme, which currently sits too low.

Two solutions provided:

Solution 1 (websensepro):

  • Navigate to Online Store → Customize → Footer → Custom CSS
  • Add CSS to increase copyright font size (1.7rem) and adjust social list margin (-4px left)

Solution 2 (BSS-Commerce):

  • Access theme code editor via Online Store → Themes → Edit code
  • Locate “section-footer.css” file
  • Insert comprehensive CSS with multiple media queries targeting different screen widths (750px-1458px+)
  • Uses relative positioning to move footer column up (-20px) and adjust social icon alignment across various breakpoints
  • Includes visual result screenshot showing the adjusted layout

Note: The second solution is more detailed and responsive, accounting for different viewport sizes. Users can customize the provided code values based on personal preference.
