can't pusblish collections

Hi,

I am new here, I wish it’s the right forum for this question : I can’t see collections on this shop :qdgsdgjigf.myshopify.com althought I have created some. What to do ? The theme is the free theme “Craft”.

Thank you

Hi @amapic ,
I hope this message finds you well.
Collections don’t automatically appear in your theme. You need to either link them in navigation or display them with a section (like Collection List) in the Craft theme editor.
Thanks

There are many basic tutorials on Youtube, but here is a short summary:

  1. Create collection
  2. Add products to collection
  3. Link collection in menu

Hi @amapic

Step 1: Make Sure Products Are Added to Collections

Go to Products → Collections in your Shopify admin

Open each collection and confirm products are assigned to them.

If they’re automated collections, check the conditions.

If they’re manual collections, add products manually.

Step 2: Add a Collection List Section to Homepage

In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.

In the Craft theme editor, click Add section.

Choose Collection list.

Select which collections you want to show.

Step 3: Add Collections to the Navigation Menu

If you want them in your header or footer menus:

Go to Online Store → Navigation.

Select the Main Menu (or Footer Menu).

Click Add menu item → give it a name (e.g., “Shop” or “Collections”).

Link it to a Collection (pick one from the list).

Step 4: Check Visibility

Make sure your store isn’t password-protected (unless you share the password).

If products/collections are set to draft, publish them.

Thank you, It was obvious
