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.
Topic summary
Issue: Hide a specific collection from the Dawn theme’s Collections list page (the dedicated list page, not a homepage “featured collection”).
Key approaches proposed:
- Theme code edit (Dawn/OS 2.0): In sections/main-list-collections.liquid, inside the collections loop, skip the unwanted collection by handle: {% if collection.handle == “EXCLUDED-COLLECTION-HANDLE” %}{% continue %}{% endif %}. Note: this can create pagination offset if multiple collections are excluded, which would need additional handling. (“Handle” = the collection’s unique identifier used in URLs/code.)
- Metafield + CSS: Add a collection-level metafield and a corresponding class, then hide the element via CSS (visual-only/hide approach).
Outcome/decision:
- The original poster resolved it by creating a new custom Collections page that explicitly selects the desired collections and updated the menu to link to this page. Another participant confirmed this workaround.
Status: Resolved for the OP via a custom page with selected collections. Alternative code/CSS methods documented. Images were shared for context but not essential to the solution.
