How to stop products from showing up in "You may also like" on Aurora Theme

[drumass]

I would like to hide certain products from "You may also like"

I have seen previous solved solutions that recommend creating a hidden product tag and then editing  the code to add the following to the related-products.liquid

"{% unless recommendation.tags contains 'hidden' %} {% endunless %}"

as seen here: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/hiding-a-product-from-recommendations/m-p/2590092

however the Aurora theme has "product-recommendations.liquid" that has completely different code. 

Any way to do this on Aurora?

Hi, share the snippet. Do you have something like this?

  <product-recommendations
    product="{{ product.id }}"
    limit="{{ section.settings.recommendations_count }}"
    intent="related">
    <div class="slider product-recommendations__slider">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="carousel-slider" data-flickity='{"freeScroll": false, "pageDots": true, "cellAlign": "left", "lazyLoad": true, "wrapAround": false, "groupCells": true, "contain": true, "setGallerySize": true, "imagesLoaded": true }'>
          {%- for product in recommendations.products -%}
            <div class="carousel-cell-product">
              {%- render 'product-card'
                , product: product
                , show_product_info: true
                , show_labels: true
                , has_slider_image: false -%}
            </div>
          {%- endfor -%}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </product-recommendations>

 Like you said you can create a product's metafield and use it as a filter inside the product's loop.

Create the product's metafield in CMS and try to modify the snippet to something like this.

{%- for product in products limit: cards_to_show -%}
{% unless product.metafields.custom.lorem_ipsum == "hide" %}
<div
class='slider-grid__slide'
slider-grid-slide
>
{% render 'product-card',
product: product,
img_ratio: img_ratio,
product_card_align: product_card_align,
add_side_paddings: add_side_paddings,
with_bottom_spacing: product_card_with_bottom_spacing,
primary_custom_colors_and_patterns: primary_custom_colors_and_patterns,
section_background_color: section_background_color
%}
</div>
{% endunless %}
{%- endfor -%}

 It depends on the name and type of metafiled, it could be boolean (true/false) also.
