Thanks very much. It works, but now the header menu doesn’t align at all. How can I get the menu items and the social icons etc. to be aligned on the same horizontal axis.
Topic summary
Main issue: Move the Shopify Dawn theme’s language selector (localization form) from the footer to the header, positioned between “PE Gallery” and the search icon.
What worked:
- Steps: In footer.liquid, cut the … block; paste it into header.liquid under the header_icons div. Save both files. Screenshots were provided to illustrate the exact locations.
- After relocation, header alignment problems were fixed by adding a code snippet in theme.liquid before . The OP confirmed the header now aligns correctly, though the exact code isn’t shown in the thread.
Open questions / unresolved:
- Another user reports the steps didn’t work on their store (eshoppiness.com); no troubleshooting or resolution posted.
- Mobile layout issue: icons are squeezed when the selector appears in the header; a user asks to move the selector into the hamburger menu on mobile. No answer yet.
- UI request: place the label “Language” above the selector and have the dropdown open downward (not upward). No guidance yet.
Status: Original request resolved for the OP; follow-up issues (store-specific failure, mobile placement, dropdown behavior) remain unanswered.
