Last menu item will not show in footer - Dawn theme

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: The last item in the footer menu on a Dawn theme store does not appear on the live site, despite being added in Shopify’s Navigation and visible in the admin. The link is an affiliate URL; reordering the menu items did not help. Store URL was shared (https://sugarxtarot.com/).

Troubleshooting suggested: Check that the menu item is published (not hidden) in Online Store > Navigation, and confirm the correct menu is assigned to the footer section (some themes control menu placement/visibility at the section level).

Latest update: The original poster verified these steps and still sees no change. A test menu item linking to a published collection also failed to appear, suggesting the issue is not specific to the affiliate link.

Status: Unresolved. No confirmed cause or fix yet; further theme/section configuration or other diagnostics are needed. No images or code provided.

Hello,

The last link in my footer menu refuses to show. I just added an affiliate link and I can see it in Navigation on the backend but I can see it live on the website.

I have tried changing the order of the menu items and nothing seems to work.

Here is the link: https://sugarxtarot.com/

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Chelle

Hi @gyallikechelley ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builde

The affiliate link in your footer menu might not be showing for a couple of reasons:

  1. Hidden Menu Item: Ensure the link is published (not hidden) in Shopify admin under Online Store > Navigation.

  2. Menu Visibility: Some themes allow controlling where menus appear (header, footer). Verify the affiliate link’s menu is assigned to the footer section.

Here’s how to fix it:

  1. Go to Shopify admin > Online Store > Navigation.
  2. Check if the affiliate link’s menu item is published (has a checkmark).
  3. If your theme allows menu visibility settings, ensure the affiliate link’s menu is assigned to the footer.

r App.

Hello, thank you for your suggestions. I tried them all but nothing has worked. I even tried to add a test menu item linking to a published collection of products and that didn’t work either.
