Product remove blank space for longer description.

Topic summary

Goal: remove the large blank space beneath product images so longer product descriptions appear higher on the page (example: ginger powder page).

What was tried:

  • A guide (for the Dawn theme) was suggested, but the requester uses a different theme and couldn’t find matching files (no main-product.liquid; product-template.liquid lacked the referenced “when ‘price’” snippet).
  • A CSS tweak (.post-large–one-half { width: 100% !important; }) was proposed; applying it removed space but made the product page too wide. Screenshots were shared showing the layout issue.

Theme/context:

  • Live theme: Minimal 11.7.1 (a Shopify-supported theme).
  • Theme Editor = Shopify’s visual customization interface.

Latest update from support:

  • Minimal doesn’t offer a Theme Editor setting to remove that space. The request was forwarded as a feature suggestion.
  • Recommended paths: request Shopify’s free design time (minor theme customizations by Shopify Support) or hire a Shopify Expert for custom code.

Status/outcome:

  • No code solution finalized in-thread. Issue remains open pending customization via Shopify Support or an external expert.

@gr_trading @Ollie Can you help?

@zillis May this help you. Click Here.

I checked the link but it looks there has been change in Shopify file name and sections. To quote some.

  1. main-product.liquid is not available under sections.
  2. I tried to relate the above file with product-template.liquid but the required search term “when 'price” was not available (I amy be wrong with my understanding of the new structure.)

Need help!

@zillis
you need to add below css into your css file

.post-large--one-half {
    width: 100% !important;
}

otherwise you require customization code.

The product page became wider after adding the CSS to the theme.

Hey @zillis .

Thanks for reaching out.

That is a great question! I can certainly see why you would want to remove the space on the product page.

Just to gather some additional context, could you let us know which theme is being used for the online store?

If you are unsure about which theme is live on your store, you can navigate to the Theme Editor and select the three dots that are appearing towards the top left of the page. I took a screenshot from my test store to show you the section I am referring to:

Looking forward to your response.

Minimal 11.7.1

Hey @zillis .

Thanks for the quick response.

Looking into the Minimal theme, I noticed that removing the space below the product images is not available using the Theme Editor. However, I can definitely see the benefit of removing the blank space for you and your business so I am going to use the thread as a feature suggestion to our development team.

With that being said, you could potentially make a change in the coding to the theme to have the blank space removed. Since the Minimal theme is designed and supported by Shopify, you can use free design time for Shopify themes to have our internal team make the changes on your behalf.

If you are interested in using the design time, you will need to login to your store using the Contact Us page. This will allow us to securely verify you as the store owner before speaking directly with a Support Advisor about the changes you would like to see.

Alternatively, if you are interested in hiring an individual to assist you with this - you can reach out to a Shopify Expert.

Let me know what you think.
