Topic summary

Context: The store URL and password were shared (decemberschild.com, pw: dc). A contributor advised adding code in theme.liquid within the . The first snippet didn’t work; a revised snippet worked but made the marquee move to the right.

  • The actual code provided isn’t visible in the thread, which limits verification.

Status: Unresolved. Key open issue is setting the marquee’s starting offset and direction to left. No final solution or confirmed fix provided.
