We’ve developed Shopify slideshow for mobile feature in the Debut theme and used the existing Slick slider. So we’ll walk through this tutorial expecting you’re using Debut theme. If you’re not using Debut then we have a different solution for that. We’ll discuss that after the Debut theme tutorial.
Editing your theme code to add Add different slideshow for mobile feature
- In the Section directory, Create a new section with a name whatever you want but we named it
specific-device-slideshow.liquid
and add the code from here, basically, we’ve copied theslideshow.liquid
section and modify that. - If you’re still using old version of Debut theme which is using SCSS instead of CSS then go to the Assets directory, open
theme.scss.liquid
or the file which is responsible for SCSS styles and add the following code at the very bottom of the file:
.multi-slideshow-wrapper{ .desktop-image{ @media screen and (max-width: $grid-medium - 1) { display:none; } } .mobile-image{ @media screen and (min-width: $grid-medium) { display:none; } } }
- As Debut theme is not supporting SCSS anymore, you can add Shopify slideshow for mobile the following code to the bottom of Assets>theme.css file:
@media (max-width:749px){ .multi-slideshow-wrapper .desktop-image{ display:none; } } @media (min-width:750px){ .multi-slideshow-wrapper .mobile-image{ display:none; } }

Hi,
I´ve successfully added the “specific-device-slideshow.liquid” in the “Sections” of the Debut theme. The section “Multi Device Slideshow” can be selected in the Theme Editor and I can add the “Big device image” and “Small device image” just as in the screenshot above.
But after saving any desktop browser up to 4K resolution only displays the small device image. Any idea how I can debug or fix this?
Thanks!
You’re missing the CSS Styles.
@media (max-width:749px){
.multi-slideshow-wrapper .desktop-image{
display:none;
}
}
@media (min-width:750px){
.multi-slideshow-wrapper .mobile-image{
display:none;
}
}
