How to hide products from recommendations

[will70]

Hello! I am trying to make it so that I can use a tag such as "hidden" on certain products to keep them from being recommended in the "you may also like" section.

I am using Taiga theme.

my product-recommendaitons.liquid file starts like this:

<product-recommendations data-url="{{ routes.product_recommendations_url }}?section_id={{ section.id }}&product_id={{ product.id }}&limit={{ section.settings.product_limit }}">
{% if recommendations.performed and recommendations.products_count > 0 %}
{%- render 'featured-collection-or-products',
section: section,
products: recommendations.products,
context: 'recommendations' -%}
{%- endif -%}
</product-recommendations>

thanks for any advice!

thank you for the reply but unfortunately that didn't work.. all the reccomendations switch to 19.99 empty product images (with a stock backpack photo) when I just did it

Hey @will70 
If you'd like to try a no-code approach to fixing this, our app ConvertWise lets you show relatively more accurate recommendations than Shopify's generic recommendations. (Some of our clients have talked about getting better engagement on their product pages, & significantly better cart conversions as well)

Oh, and you can also choose to exclude/hide certain products from being shown.

Happy to chat if you have any further questions:)
