Hide a collection filter, but not totally disabling it (or excluding) from all sales channel

Topic summary

A user created special collections for a Black Friday sale page (“NEW ARRIVALS AND BESTSELLERS” and “SUMMER 2024 COLLECTION”) but encountered an issue where these collections appeared in the site’s filter options.

The Problem:

  • The collections were showing up in customer-facing filters
  • Excluding them from sales channels would remove them from the site entirely
  • The user needed them live but hidden from filter navigation

Resolution:

  • The original poster found a solution by creating a new collection that contains only the desired collections to display in the theme
  • This approach allows the Black Friday collections to remain active without appearing in the filter menu

I created a few new collections intended for Black Friday sale page. Example below are the “NEW ARRIVALS AND BESTSELLERS” and “SUMMER 2024 COLLECTION”

My problem is, it shows up in the filters. And I can’t hide it or pick the “excluded from all sales channels” because that will make the collection disappear on the page. Is there a way for me to create and make it live without it appearing on the filters?

Hello,

Please share “Store URL”

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for asking. I have the solution now. I created a new collection that consists of only the collections that I want and placed it on the theme.
