How to change the background colour and margin of my instafeed+story app on homepage?

Store Design

Topic summary

A user seeks help changing the background color and margin of an Instagram feed/story app section on their Shopify homepage. After sharing their store URL (kriemiy.myshopify.com), they receive two working solutions:

Solution 1 (Mustafa_Ali):

  • Navigate to Online Store → Themes → Three Dots → Edit Code → theme.liquid
  • Add CSS code under the <style> tag before <body>:
section#shopify-section-template--19509191475436__1743009798c16bb429 {
    margin-top: -25px;
    background-color: #DEF4CC;
}

Solution 2 (Moeed):

  • Similar approach, placing code above the </body> tag in theme.liquid

The user initially questions the absence of a <style> tag but finds {% style %} instead. The issue is resolved after implementing one of the solutions, with the user confirming success and expressing gratitude.
