Slideshow images showing on desktop but not on mobile - DAWN THEME

Topic summary

Slideshow in the Dawn theme displays correctly on desktop but not on mobile; the original poster also wants the slideshow limited to a specific page without removing custom code.

Suggested fix: add a mobile-specific CSS rule to force the banner media to show. Path provided: Online Store → Theme → Edit code → Assets → section-image-banner.css, adding a @media (max-width: 749px) rule that sets .banner__media:first-child to display: block !important (a media query applies styles on small screens).

Complications reported:

  • Some themes don’t have section-image-banner.css under Assets, leaving users unsure where to place the CSS.
  • The CSS did not work for several stores; issues include the slideshow not showing on mobile, images being cropped, an image appearing twice, a black background box behind slider text, and video/logo overlay conflicts.
  • On iPad/tablets, one user sees only half of a slide after rotation, with a brief delay.

Actions taken: responders asked for store URLs to inspect; one review suggested mobile looked better, but the user still wanted a transparent logo.

Status: no consensus fix; the issue appears theme/setup-specific. Key open questions are where to add CSS in themes lacking the referenced file, how to target only one page, and how to resolve tablet/mobile layout bugs. Screenshots are central to understanding the visual issues.

I recently added a slideshow to one of my pages, but the images are only showing on desktop. I do have some custom codes, but i dont want any of them deleted. I also want the slideshow on only the page I linked down below, not on every page.

Can you guys help?

display: block !important;

Hi! Thank you for your reply! I ran into an issue with the custom liquid code. Is there a way to change it just for the mobile view? Desktop looks great. The mobile looks crazy…

i think its better look in mobile

Thanks for looking at it. I liked the logo having a transparent background. When I looked just now it shows logo covered by the video.

Update: even stranger - the second half of the slide does appear on tablet view but with a few second delay? Website is blockyourears.com.au Hi, I’m having a similar issue slideshow works on all size screens but on tablets like iPad once it rotates from first slide only half of slide is visible even when it then goes back to first slide. Any ideas?

Hi Richard, I tried your solution on my website and it did not work. I have the same issue, I added a slideshow on the website (www.cletoelinfluencer.com) and looks good on desktop but when I look at it on mobile it cuts of the image.

Hi there, my site www.imonlylittle.com is not showing the slideshow on the mobile version and the code did not work. It only shows on desktop, can you help?
