Goal: reposition social media icons in the Shopify Dawn theme footer to sit directly beneath the image in the fourth column. Two screenshots (current vs desired) are central to understanding the layout change.
Proposed fix: a reply advises replacing the entire footer.liquid (a Shopify Liquid template file) via Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code with a provided snippet. The pasted code includes CSS and JavaScript and appears truncated/incomplete in the post, making its effectiveness uncertain.
Context: Dawn is Shopify’s default theme; Liquid is Shopify’s templating language. No specific instructions targeting the social icon block or column structure were confirmed.
Follow-up: another participant requests the store URL to diagnose and offer a tailored solution. A separate user asks how to achieve the same placement in a 3‑column footer, but no adaptation guidance was provided.
Status: no confirmed resolution or working implementation yet. Action items pending: share the site URL for review; clarify a complete code solution and how to handle different column counts (3 vs 4).
Hi,
I am trying to move my social media icons up in my footer they are current sitting under the fourth column in my footer (which is an image) I would like to move them so the are directly underneath.
Current:
This is what I would like it to look like:

Hi
I’m trying to do something similar, but I have 3 columns instead of 4. What would be the solution for 3 columns?
