Change text on only one site

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Make text on the catalog page (Shopify collection page) appear bold without affecting other pages.

Approach proposed: Edit theme.liquid and wrap page-specific CSS in a Liquid conditional that only loads on the collection template.

  • Initial code used “{% end %}”, causing the error: Liquid syntax error: ‘end’ is not a valid delimiter for if tags. Use “{% endif %}”.
  • Corrected snippet: “{% if template.name == ‘collection’ %} … {% endif %}” placed above . This targets only collection pages.

Key concept: Liquid is Shopify’s templating language; “template.name == ‘collection’” identifies catalog/collection pages so styles inside the block apply only there.

Status/Outcome:

  • Syntax issue resolved; user confirmed the fix works.
  • No actual CSS to make text bold was provided (the block is empty). The intent is to add bold-specific CSS inside the conditional.

Follow-up question: The user wants an exception so the rich text at the top is not bold, while other catalog text is.

  • The reply repeated the same conditional (with a minor typo) and didn’t provide selectors to exclude the rich text.

Open items: Specific CSS selectors to apply bold to desired elements and exclude the top rich text remain unanswered.

Hi, how do i make the text for my catalog page only, thicker. As in I want it to be bold. It all seems so thin and small. Picture:
