A Shopify store owner encountered duplicate brand information columns in their footer, with an unwanted column appearing on the right side.
Root Cause:
- The duplicate originated from the footer’s “Show social media icons” setting, which was enabled in the theme customization.
Solutions Provided:
Multiple community members offered CSS-based fixes involving:
- Adding custom CSS code to
theme.liquid before the </head> or </body> tags
- Using
display: none to hide the duplicate social media list element
Resolution:
- The cleanest solution was simply disabling the “Show social media icons” setting in the Footer section through Shopify’s theme customization interface (Online Store → Theme Customization → Footer).
- The original poster confirmed this approach worked and marked it as the accepted solution.
Note: The conversation includes screenshots demonstrating the issue and solution steps, though some text appears reversed/encoded in the original posts.
