Default collapsed sidebar filter

Topic summary

Goal: Make the collection page’s sidebar filters in the Kalles theme collapsed by default, showing only headings with a “+” to expand (URL provided).

Key context:

  • The store uses fully custom filters rather than the theme’s default implementation.

Latest update:

  • There is no single setting or quick toggle to achieve default-collapsed filters.
  • Implementing collapsible filter headings will require custom development (e.g., theme code/CSS/JS changes).
  • Recommendation given: hire a Shopify developer to implement this behavior.

Outcome/Status:

  • No code solution or step-by-step instructions were provided.
  • Issue remains unresolved and would proceed via custom development work.

Notes:

  • No images or code snippets were shared; the linked collection is central for context.

Hello.

How do I get the sidebar filtermenu to be collapsed by default, so only the headlines are listed, with a + besides it to open?

The theme is Kalles.

Thank you

You have a total custom filters. You either need to hire a Shopify Dev as there is no “one single” answer on how to do that. There needs to be a bit of custom development involved to get the headlines collapsed unless users clicks it.
