Topic summary

A user seeks to modify their Shopify store’s collection page (Combine theme) from a 4-column to a 3-column layout on desktop. They also want to reduce spacing between product frames and frame names after removing some title information.

Solution Provided:

  • Access Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  • Navigate to Assets folder and open the CSS file (base.css, style.css, or theme.css)
  • Add custom CSS code targeting:
    • Grid columns: --visible-cols: 3
    • Grid gap: 5px
    • Product image padding: 60%
    • Product text spacing adjustments

Current Status:
The 3-column layout is successfully implemented, but the user notes the product name spacing still needs further adjustment to better match their preference.

Looking for the desktop on the combine theme to display 3 columns across vs 4 like it currently is on collection page

Also, I got rid of some of the title information and am needing to decrease the spacing between the bottom of the frame and the frame name so it is about half of the distance on the collection page.

Hi @UptownCait

Try 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:
div#main-collection-product-grid {
    --visible-cols: 3 !important;
    grid-gap: 5px;
}
a.product-item__image {
    padding-top: 60% !important;
}
.card__text.product-item__text.gutter-top--regular.gutter-bottom--regular.spacing--xlarge.remove-empty-space.text-align--left {
    padding-top: 0px;
}

Awesome! Looks great for the 3 columns…the product name is still a bit further away than I prefer but a ton better!
