Move or alter the product description on Dawn 12.0.0

Topic summary

Issue: On Dawn 12.0.0, long product descriptions render in a narrow column beside product info. The requester wants the description moved below images/other elements for better readability.

Solution provided:

  • In Online Store > Customize, open Products > Default product.
  • Under Product information, delete the default Description block.
  • Click + Add section > Custom liquid, then insert: {{ product.description }}
  • Drag the Custom liquid section to the desired position (e.g., below images/other sections) and Save.

Notes: The Custom liquid section renders the product’s existing description via Liquid, allowing flexible placement within the product template.

Outcome: The layout issue is resolved using the Custom liquid approach and removing the original Description block to avoid duplication.

Open item: The requester asks how to change font size or font for the new description. Guidance on styling (likely via theme settings or custom CSS targeting the Custom liquid block) has not yet been provided, so the thread remains partially open regarding typography adjustments.

Hi,

I’m having a problem with long descriptions on the Dawn Theme 12.0.0. My products currently look like this: https://bluehurricane-eu.com/products/bloomburrow-collector-booster-box.

When products have lengthy descriptions, the design looks unattractive. The width is fixed relative to other components, resulting in a long, narrow column for the description. I want to move the description below the product image and other elements, so that it appears in a more user-friendly layout.

I have tried to find options to do this but haven’t had any luck. The description section appears to be unchangeable (see image below). Creating a new text section doesn’t automatically transfer the product description text to it. Does anyone know how to implement this? Any help would be appreciated.

You can do that by following these steps
