How To Move Text Drop Down Menu Mobile (Dawn Theme)

Topic summary

A user wants to reposition the mobile menu text in the Dawn theme, specifically moving it to the left edge of the page with adjustable positioning.

Proposed Solutions:

Two developers provided CSS-based approaches:

  • Solution 1: Add CSS to the base.css file targeting .menu-drawer__menu-item with padding adjustments
  • Solution 2: Insert CSS code in the theme.liquid file (before the </body> tag) using padding properties to control menu item positioning

Both solutions involve:

  • Accessing the theme code editor (Online Store → Themes → Edit Code)
  • Implementing CSS padding modifications
  • Adjusting pixel values to achieve desired alignment

The discussion remains open, awaiting the original poster’s feedback on whether either solution resolves their issue.

Hello @MMast ,

I understand you are looking to move the mobile menu item to the left

You can move the mobile menu item using CSS code, you have to implement padding property in that section.

Please add the below-mentioned code for the desired change.

  1. Go to Online Store → Themes → Click on three dots → Edit Code.

  2. Now, Search and open theme.liquid file

  3. Next add the mentioned code at the bottom of the theme.liquid file before tag and save.


[ Please feel free to change the pixel size of the padding property.]

I hope the code helps you.

Please share if you have any queries.

Thank you.
