Dawn Theme, Change Collection Title

[JohnAllen439]

How can I change the Collection Title? Default is “Products”.

in main-collection-banner.liquid, I see variable collection.title

Where is this value populated from?

I don’t see “Products” default anywhere in my json files. Anyone know where it is?

How can I change collection.title variable? Otherwise, I’ll just write a hard string.

Thanks,

      <h1 class="collection-hero__title">
        <span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'sections.collection_template.title' | t }}: </span>
        {{- collection.title | escape -}}
      </h1>

Hey @JohnAllen439 ,

The collection.title variable is populated from the title of the collection in Shopify. Here’s how it works and how you can change it:

Where collection.title Comes From:

Follow these steps:

1. Collection Admin Settings

• Go to your Shopify Admin → Products → Collections.

• Find the collection you want to change.

• Update the Title field.

2. Automatic Collections (Default “Products” Collection)

• If you’re viewing the /collections/all page, Shopify automatically assigns the title “Products” to the collection.

• This default name isn’t stored in JSON files but is generated dynamically by Shopify.

How to Change It:

option 1. Override the Title in Liquid:

• If you want a custom title dynamically, modify main-collection-banner.liquid like this:

# 
    {{ 'sections.collection_template.title' | t }}: 
    {% if collection.handle == 'all' %}
        All Products
    {% else %}
        {{ collection.title | escape }}
    {% endif %}

• This checks if the collection is the “all” collection and sets a custom title.

• Change “All Products” to whatever you prefer.

option 2. Hardcode a Title (Not Recommended)

if you don’t need dynamic updates, you can hardcode the title:

<h1 class="collection-hero__title">My Custom Title</h1>

Would you like help making this dynamic based on different conditions?

Hi @JohnAllen439

You can edit that text from your store admin > Sales channels > Online Store > Themes > click “…” in the current theme > Edit default content > search Products, then you can see and edit that text
