Hi there, I am trying to create a collection but make the title blank because I don’t want it to hover over the collection image I am uploading. Which part of the collection-template.liquid file do I need to change or remove to stop the error message from coming up? Thanks!
Topic summary
A user wants to create a collection without displaying a title over the collection image, but encounters an error when trying to leave the title field blank.
Key Points:
- The collection title is a required field in Shopify’s backend and cannot be left empty
- Multiple respondents confirmed this is a system requirement that cannot be bypassed
Proposed Solution:
- Enter a title in the backend (required for saving)
- Hide the title from displaying on the frontend using one of these methods:
- Custom CSS to hide the title element
- Edit the collection template code in the active theme’s Liquid files
Status: One respondent offered to provide specific code guidance if the store URL and password (if applicable) are shared. The issue remains unresolved pending further details from the original poster.

@DencoDrew1988 You can’t leave the title blank as it is a required field in setting up any collection in the backend. Now as per my understanding the collection name is appearing in the front end on collection image. So you can hide that using CSS or by editing the code of collection template in the active theme of your store.
Can you please provide the URL of your store and if it is password protected please share the password too. I can look into it. Thanks
Hello @DencoDrew1988
The collection title is a required field, so you will need to add a title.
