Can't add products to new collection

Topic summary

Newly created manual collection shows all store products on the storefront instead of the two added.

Likely causes and fixes:

  • A customized collection template is assigned to the collection and is rendering all products. Switch the collection to the default (non‑customized) template in the theme’s template list.
  • The navigation menu may link to the wrong collection or a generic collection page. Update the Online Store > Navigation link to point to the specific collection you created.

Key terms:

  • Collection template: a theme template that controls how a collection page displays and filters products; a custom version can override expected behavior.
  • Navigation link: a menu item that routes to a specific collection URL.

Evidence: Screenshots show the template selection list and the navigation settings where the correct collection link should be set.

Status: No confirmation from the original poster on whether switching to the default template and correcting the navigation link resolved the issue; discussion remains open.

Hello, I’m having a problem when I manually create collections for products on the shopify admin page, but when I add 2 products to the newly created collection, when I view it on the website, it shows all the products in my store. Plss help me.

Hi @hungnv
It looks like you have a customized collecton template, use default template for this collection and I hope it will resolve your issue
From this list,

Try to choose default template which is not customized

Thanks!

Hi @hungnv !

Try to use the default template for this collection instead and also, make sure that you updated the link that is connected for this collection under your >online store >navigation.
