How to Move the Product Title Below the Media Carousel on Your Shopify Product Page

Picture this: It was a sunny morning in July, and I'd just poured myself a steaming mug of coffee. Coffee in hand, I settled at my desk to find chaos had descended upon my Shopify store. Well, not really chaos, but a tiny design element that bugged me. The product titles towered over their media like condiments on a hot dog - misplaced and misaligned. So naturally, I thought, "Let’s shuffle things around."

If you’ve ever felt the urge to play interior designer with your product pages, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there. Here’s how I managed to slide those product titles right where they belong - nestled below the carousel, above their charming descriptions. Let's dive in, step by step, shall we?

Step 1: Understanding the Layout

First, let's talk layout. Our mission is fairly straightforward but knowing where things reside in your theme file's layers is key. I was using the AB-Dawn_22-12-2022 theme, the quintessential starting point for this operation, loaded up in Shopify's online theme editor.

While sipping that delicious coffee—slightly distracted by a chirping bird outside my window—I realized that patience, just like cream in my coffee, was crucial to mixing changes into the liquid fabric of my site’s design seamlessly.

Step 2: Accessing the Code Editor

To crack this little conundrum:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin.
2. Glide to Online Store from the left-hand panel.
3. Click on Themes and identify our unsuspecting accomplice, your current theme.
4. Here comes the fun part—click on Actions, then choose Edit Code.

It’s like finding Narnia behind the wardrobe, only instead of snow, you find lines of code whispering tales of design magic.

Step 3: Locating the Right Template

Now's the time to find where your product title and media sweetly coexist—a task akin to finding the first green leaf of spring. In the plethora of files, you'll find the puzzle piece:

• Navigate to Sections and look for product-template.liquid or something eerily similar. This file is our canvas.

Oh, the file names we meet along our Shopify journeys.

Step 4: Rearranging Your Product Title

With the product template file open, begin the hunt for the product title. Generally, it’s wrapped in something like:

<h1 class="product-single__title">{{ product.title }}</h1>

Check just above or sometimes below for the media carousel code—recognizable as:

<div class="product-single__media">
  ...
</div>

Now, switch the locations of these snippets. The idea is to let the media section showcase its visuals first. It’s kind of like serving the entrée before the dessert. Practical yet pleasing.

Step 5: Testing Your Masterpiece

Take a deep breath here. We need to check our handiwork.

• Save your changes and head to your storefront.
• Open a product page.

Gleefully, with the gentle pride of someone who’s just organized a chaotic cutlery drawer, savor the view. Look at that majestic title, serenely sitting below the media carousel—like a collector’s caption on an art exhibit.

Funny thing is, the difference it makes is astounding. What was once a minor annoyance now feels like the centerpiece of a grand solution - an aha moment in the placid waves of our day-to-day endeavors.

And there it is, my friend. We’ve reshaped a bit of our digital space, placing elements as the design spirits intended. Whether you’re revamping a popular product or adding fresh lines, I hope this guide sends your creativity soaring and your Shopify site glimmering like a freshly-polished gem.
