Hide Route Insurance from "you may also like"

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is attempting to exclude Route insurance/protection products from the “you may also like” (product recommendations) section on their Shopify store. They need to modify the product-recommendations.liquid file but are finding that solutions from other forum threads don’t match their current code structure.

Desired solution:

  • Use product tags (e.g., “insurance”) to filter out specific items from recommendations
  • Previously documented tag-based exclusion methods aren’t compatible with their theme’s code

Technical context:

  • The provided liquid code appears corrupted or improperly formatted (contains reversed/garbled text)
  • This formatting issue may complicate troubleshooting

Status: The question remains unanswered with no responses yet. The user is seeking guidance on implementing tag-based product filtering within their specific theme structure.

Hello,

I’m trying to exclude route protection from “you may also like” and it seems i need to edit on product-recomenndations.liquid but the responses in other topics dont match my code.

Can anyone help? I saw a solution that used tags to exclude. such that anything tagged with “insurance” was excluded from “you may also like”. Thanks in advance.

Here is my product-recommendations liquid code:

{%- if section.index > 2 -%}

{%- else -%} {{ 'product.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }} {%- endif -%}
