After I created seven navigation buttons, the content for two of the last navigation pages created are mixed up and I cannot separate them. The other five navigation pages are fine. Can anybody help me ?

EDIT: The link in your reply doesn't work. Can you please help with a direct link where you can help me please? Since updating, I've had an issue with the addtocart event firing for the Pinterest sales channel. I have my add to cart setting as drawer & Pinterest have said they think the issue is with an Ajax add to cart?? Can you help please? It looks like add to cart is a common issue.

Hey there, this definitely isn't something we want happening! Since it sounds like you've already contacted Pinterest's Support team, please go ahead and contact our own Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look into this for you.

Desde su actualización al 11.0 por alguna extraña razón las ventas han caído de forma radical. Hay personas que reportan que no pueden buscar productos, otros que no pueden terminar la compra. Terrible actualización. No trabaja de forma correcta con Iphone (el buscador no funciona y no permite agregar carritos).

Hola, gracias por hacérnoslo saber. Comuníquese con nuestro soporte (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) para que podamos analizar más de cerca por qué sucede esto. A veces, la actualización de un tema puede hacer que algunas aplicaciones también funcionen incorrectamente, si está utilizando alguna actualmente.

Verson 11.0.0 the color setting part is not working. And the Shopify help center that you refer to doesn't help. So I contacted to the agent and gave my email address hope can resolve it. As can see from here a lot of people facing exactly same issues. https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/version-11-0-0-dawn-theme/td-p/2177968 Hope they can see this problem and resolve it.

Reply from Shopify Sep 13, 2023

Version 4.0.0 March 8, 2022

Dawn 4.0.0 introduces the ability to control how many columns appear in many of your sections and templates, and allows you to define heading text size in all sections. This update also features fixes and improvements, including a fix ensuring the correct product details display in the cart notification.

Added

  • Important: You can now define the size of your heading text in all sections, giving you more options to express your brand’s look and feel. This update may cause your theme's headings to appear bigger. To revert this, change your heading size settings to “Small”.
  • Important: You can now control the number of desktop and mobile grid columns in many sections and templates, giving you more flexibility to customize the look of your store. This update may cause a layout change in some areas of your theme because columns will no longer automatically adjust to fill the available screen width. This can be modified by adjusting the number of columns setting in the affected areas. Find this new setting in: blog posts (desktop only), collection template, collection list, featured collection, multicolumn, product recommendations, and search results template.
  • Duty charges will now be displayed on customer account order pages if applicable.

Changed

  • Commenting on blog posts requires all fields to be filled in for a blog comment to be submitted.

Fixes and improvements

  • Sometimes, incorrect product information was appearing in the cart notification. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue that affected filtering on collection pages.
  • We fixed an accessibility issue where some links caused unnecessary page refreshes when clicked.
  • We improved the performance of the product page.
  • In some cases, pagination was inaccurate on sections like featured collection. This is now fixed.
  • An issue in the slideshow section sometimes caused borders to appear unexpectedly. This is now fixed.
  • We fixed an issue that sometimes caused product images in the cart to display incorrectly.
  • We fixed an issue in the footer where several elements were misaligned.
  • There was an issue with the scrollbar styling in the footer that’s now fixed.
  • We updated the collapsed filter and sort icon so it looks consistent against any background color.
  • We optimized the padding on desktop header menu dropdowns.
  • We fixed an issue where shadows weren’t displaying as expected.

Added

  • Layout theme settings let you change the amount of spacing between each section, as well as the spacing between repeated items within sections.
  • New theme settings let you change the look of your buttons, variant pills, inputs, badges, media, content containers, drawers, dropdowns, and pop-ups by editing their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • New theme settings on cards (product cards, collection cards, blog cards, collage section cards) let you pick from different styles, define text alignment, and edit their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • The new collapsible content section lets you add content to your pages using a layout composed of collapsible rows. It’s ideal to build a frequently asked questions page, or add a section with secondary information to your product pages.
  • We added new icon options to the collapsible row block on the product page.
  • We added a new color scheme setting on many sections, allowing more flexibility to customize the look of your store. Find it in: blog posts, collage, collapsible content, collection banner, contact form, custom liquid, featured collection, featured product, multicolumn, page, and product recommendations.
  • New top and bottom padding settings were added on most sections, letting you define the amount of space at the top and bottom of the section. Find it in: blog posts, cart items, collage, collapsible content, collection list, collection product grid, contact form, custom liquid, email signup, featured collection, featured product, footer, image with text, search results, multicolumn, product information, page, product recommendations, rich text, and video.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your header and the following section with a new bottom margin setting on the header section.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your footer and the previous section with a new top margin setting on the footer section.
  • We added support for app blocks to the featured product section.

Changed

  • The page width layout setting where you set the maximum width of your online store pages has changed to offer a range from 1000px to 1600px.

Removed

  • Important: Dawn no longer includes the Craft preset. If you’re interested in achieving the Craft look, you can now install the new Craft theme.

Version 2.5.0 December 20, 2021

Dawn 2.5.0 introduces a new slideshow section and new settings to further customize existing sections like product information, image banner, and image with text.

Added

  • The new slideshow section lets you display content in a slideshow format. Use it to feature promotions, or as an introduction to different collections.
  • We’ve added new settings to the product template, letting you choose between stacked or thumbnail layouts for your product media on larger screens. You can also now control the size of the product media on product templates for larger screens.
