How to Set Up Flexible Content in Be Yours

Flexible content is a new section system introduced in Be Yours 10.0.0. It lets you combine text, images, products, videos, and layout blocks to build custom page designs directly in the Theme Editor.

Instead of starting from a blank layout, you can choose one of 19 ready-made presets and customize its blocks.

STEPS:

1. Add a Flexible Content Section
  • From Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  • Find your Be Yours theme and click Customize.
  • Open the page or template you want to edit.
  • Click Add section.
  • Find the Flexible category and select a preset, such as Rich text (blocks) or Image with text (blocks).
  • Edit the preset's content and layout blocks.
  • Click Save.

3. Customize Content and Layout Blocks

In the Theme Editor, expand the section to view its blocks. Some blocks can contain other blocks, allowing you to build more detailed layouts.

Block Main settings or purpose
Heading, Subheading, Text, Button Text, typography, links, and alignment
Image, Video, Banner Media, sizing, positioning, and visual content
Row Column proportions, vertical alignment, mobile stacking, and spacing
Grid Desktop/mobile columns, spacing, and mobile swipe
Group Arrange blocks vertically or horizontally; control width, padding, and colors
Slider Slides per view, auto-rotate, arrows, and dots
Tabs, Accordion Organize content into tabs or expandable items
Collection products, Collection card, Product card Select and display Shopify products or collections
Countdown, Testimonial, Newsletter form Specialized content and interactions

To adjust a layout:

  • Select a Row, Grid, or Group block.
  • Change its layout and spacing settings.
  • Add or move content blocks inside it, where supported.
  • Check the mobile preview and click Save.

Note: Available child blocks depend on the selected parent block. Not every block can be added inside every layout.

4. Configure Section Settings

Open the main Flexible content section to adjust its overall appearance.

Setting Description
Color scheme Applies a theme color scheme
Desktop content alignment Left, Center, or Right
Mobile content alignment Left, Center, or Right
Make section narrow Restricts the content width
Make section full width Extends the section across the available width
Section height Auto, Small, Medium, Large, Full screen, or Custom
Custom height Sets the height when Custom is selected
Vertical alignment Top, Middle, or Bottom
Background image Adds a section background image
Overlay opacity Adjusts the overlay over the background
Show section divider Displays a divider
Top padding / Bottom padding Controls vertical spacing

Some individual blocks also provide their own color scheme, width, padding, corner radius, and alignment options.

5. Configure Desktop and Mobile Layouts

Flexible content includes responsive controls for several layout blocks:

  • Row: Choose column proportions such as 1:1, 1:2, or 2:1; choose whether to stack or keep columns on mobile.
  • Grid: Set desktop columns, 1 or 2 columns on mobile, and optionally enable mobile swipe.
  • Group: Choose vertical or horizontal direction, widths, alignment, and whether to stack vertically on mobile.
  • Banner: Set separate desktop/mobile heights and optional mobile imagery.
  • Slider: Choose slides per view and enable arrows, dots, or automatic rotation.

Always check both desktop and mobile previews before publishing.

6. Add Highlight Styling to Headings

For a Heading block:

  • Select the Heading block.
  • Enable Enable highlight.
  • Choose a Highlight style.
  • In the heading editor, select the text you want to highlight and click the italic (I) button.
  • Click Save.

Only the italic-formatted text receives the selected highlight effect.

7. Notes and Troubleshooting
  • Flexible content and its 19 presets are available in Be Yours 10.0.0 or later. Update the theme if you are using an older version.
  • Presets provide initial layouts; they do not automatically populate your store's products, collections, or images.
  • If a product or collection block is empty, select the relevant Shopify content in its settings.
  • If content looks incorrect on mobile, check the layout block's mobile options and the section's mobile alignment.
  • If a background is too dark or bright, adjust Overlay opacity or Color scheme.
  • If a block is unavailable in Add block, check whether the selected parent supports it.
  • If highlighted text does not display as expected, ensure the text is italicized and Enable highlight is on.
