Topic summary

Main issue: Hide/show a custom Liquid section differently on mobile vs. desktop to use device-specific images.

Proposed approaches:

  • Use CSS to control visibility per device; identify the specific section IDs to target.
  • Add custom CSS with media queries (rules that apply based on screen width):
    • Mobile example (max-width: 768px)
    @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) { * { display: none; } }
    • Desktop example (min-width: 769px)
    @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) { * { display: none; } }
    Note: The provided snippets use the universal selector (*) to hide content at those breakpoints.

Assets: A screenshot is included showing where to add the custom CSS within the section settings.
