Left align content in rich text block for Shapes theme

Topic summary

Goal: left‑align the content of a single Rich text section on a Shapes theme About page without changing global theme styles.

Steps taken:

  • A community member requested the store URL and password to review; the requester provided them.
  • Suggested fix: add custom code to theme.liquid (the main layout file) just above the closing tag. A screenshot was provided showing the Rich text content left‑aligned after this change.

Notes/limitations:

  • The actual code snippet is not visible in the post, so the exact CSS/selector used is unknown.
  • It’s unclear whether the code targets only the specific Rich text block (as requested) or applies site‑wide.
  • An image attachment demonstrates the result; it appears central to understanding the outcome.

Status:

  • Appears resolved based on the provided “Result” screenshot, but the original poster has not confirmed and the precision/scope of the solution cannot be verified without the missing code snippet.

Hey folks, I’m really struggling here. I’m using the Shapes theme and a rich text section on my about page. I want the content in this section to be left-aligned. I’ve tried to add custom CSS specifically to this section and I can’t get it to work. I don’t necessarily want to change the theme’s code because I only want left-aligned content in this one rich text block. Any suggestions?
