increase left margin with liquid code

Topic summary

Goal: Indent the displayed current tag on a Shopify collection page by 40px using Liquid/CSS.

Context: The store URL was shared for review. Liquid is Shopify’s templating language; CSS margin/padding control spacing.

Proposed fixes:

  • Add custom code in theme.liquid above the tag. The exact code was not visible in the post; a screenshot was referenced.
  • Add CSS in base.css with a desktop media query targeting a specific section class and setting padding-left: 40px.
  • Alternative CSS in theme.css/base.css using margin-left: 40px on the same section class.

Outcome: The reported solutions did not work for the requester.

Notes:

  • The two CSS answers rely on a very specific section class (e.g., .section-template–17520170467503__custom_liquid_WtfAeT-padding). If this selector does not exist on the target element, the rules won’t apply.
  • Key details are missing: the exact HTML/element that renders the tag name and the full, correct class/selector. The first reply’s code snippet is not shown; images were provided to illustrate results.

Status: Unresolved; further clarification of the correct selector/markup is needed.

using liquid code i added the name of the current tag to display on the collection page, but i encountered the fact that the name is displayed with 0 indent on the left edge. How can i increase the indent from the left margin by 40px?
