Exclude a Collection from the Collection list page

Store Design
1

I created a collection (that excludes certain items) to use for my “Shop All” page.

This collection now shows on the Collections list page and I do not want it to. There is no way to select certain collections to show on this page. How do I exclude the unwanted Collection form the Collections List page?

Not sure what you mean by “featured collection”, my theme does not have that. Can you provide a screenshot?

Oh I got you now…Im not trying to add it on the Home Page. This is a Collection List page on the Dawn theme…it is its own page.

Once you click on the Collection page, it shows like I provided in the original screenshot. But I want to exclude one of the collections

This varies widly by theme, ALWAYS provide specifics such as examinable urls don’t make people guess.

For vintage themes

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/themes-by-shopify/vintage-themes/customizing-vintage-themes/feature-a-subset-of-collections

example for OS.20 Dawn theme

https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/sections/main-list-collections.liquid#L32

after the collection loop add

{% if collection.handle == "EXCLUDED-COLLECTION-HANDLE" %}{% continue %}{% endif %}

:bomb: NOTE: this removes an item from pagination creating an offset that will grow with more collections excluded so you will have to fix the offset.

If you need this customization then contact me by email for services.
Contact info in forum signature.
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

You can create a metafield at collection level and add a class to parent node and write the CSS code to hide it.

Thanks, but I ended up creating a new Collection Page and specifying all the correct Collections to it…I now point my Collection menu to it.

Thanks for suggesting creating a new custom collection page. I was dealing with the same issue and somehow this simple solution hadn’t occurred to me yet. Did the same!
