Why are my videos displaying vertically?

Learn why your videos might be stacking vertically instead of appearing in a horizontal row. This guide explains the common cause and provides a simple solution to fix the layout by consolidating your videos into a single widget.

When you first set up the app, you may notice that your videos are arranged vertically, one on top of the other, instead of in a horizontal gallery as you expected. This is a common layout issue with a simple fix.

Cause

This happens when you create and add multiple widgets to your store's theme, with each widget containing only one video.

In Shopify, each app widget you add to a page functions as a separate theme section. By design, theme sections stack vertically down the page, not side-by-side. Therefore, if you add fours separate widgets, they will appear in fours separate vertical rows.

Solution

Instead of creating multiple widgets for multiple videos, you should place all the videos you want to display together into a single widget.

To display videos in a horizontal row, create one widget and add all of your videos to it.

By grouping all your videos within one widget, the app can correctly arrange them in a horizontal layout within that single theme section.
