Created a collection page, now the collection is showing on all pages

Store Design

Hi Community,

I have a ‘gift guide’ on my Homepage, pointing to a page where I set up collections. The collection page features different images showing ‘gifts for age X’, ‘gifts for age Y’, etc. So far so good.

But then, I realised, this collection page shows up on every ‘Page’ I have created in my store, and I have no idea why or how to remove it from the other pages. For example it shows up on my ‘Shipping & Delivery’ page, my ‘Size guide’ page, etc.

I created the collection page by navigating to a page a created called ‘Gift Guide’, then I pressed Customize, and added a Collection List on that page. But apparently, this adds the collection to any ‘Page’ I have created.

How can I fix this? Any help please.

If you want to create a different Page layout using the customizer, you should create a new page layout.
After that, you can apply the new page layout to the specific page.

If you are using a Shopify OS2.0 Theme, you’ll have to jump to the code editor and create a duplicate of a page.json (under Templates) and give it a distinctive name (e.g. page.gift-guide.json). Afterwards, you can go to your “Gift guide” page and apply the new template.

This is just the short answer version.
Hope that helps.

Thank you, this solved the problem!

For anyone else like me who is a little lost, here is the expanded explanation:

  1. Go to Online Store, Theme, Edit code

  2. Copy all the code from page.json

  3. Create a new page (Template page, template type JSON, file name gift guide)

  4. Paste the code you took from page.json and save

  5. Head to pages and choose the gift guide page (or create one, if you don’t have one yet)

  6. Under Online Store Theme Template, choose the gift guide template you just created. Save

Now you can add collections to the gift guide page without affecting the other pages. Hurray!

My homepage has this banner:

Yeah, this happened to me as well.

Everything was perfect then I wanted to add a collection list to one of my navigation pages. Then after that everything all of my pages were exactly the same on every single one of my pages. Not sure how user friendly this is but, it definitely is messing me up.

Do I have to do everything all over again or program anything, because that would kinda suck guys. Thank you so much for your help.
