Troubleshooting
How to edit the width of the Locator in Shopify
It's possible that the Locator be displayed in a section that is not wide enough for all of its content.
We experienced this issue and were able to fix it, by adjusting the base.css in Shopify.
- You can find this file in the "Themes" section of your Shopify account.
- Click the "Customize" button of the Theme you are using on the Locator page.
- There you will click on the three dots "..." at the top and click "{/} Edit code"
- A new tab will open in which you'll have to select the "Assets" folder - the first fill should be the "base.css"
- In that file you'd have to find the "@media screen" section.
- Edit the width and max-width to suit your layout.
