How can I alter the page title for a specific collections list?

Topic summary

Issue: Change the browser tab/page.title for a specific Collections List template in the Dawn (Online Store 2.0) theme from “Collections” to “Providers,” ideally without broad theme-level changes.

Proposed fix: Edit layout/theme.liquid where page_title is output and wrap it in a Liquid conditional.

Implementation: Use Shopify’s request.page_type to detect the Collections List page type and set a custom title.

  • Code:
    if request.page_type == ‘list-collections’ → output “Providers”
    else → output {{ page_title }}
  • Note: request.page_type identifies the current page type; ‘list-collections’ targets the collections index. This will affect all pages of that type, not just one template, unless further conditions are added.

Assets: Linked screenshots show the exact code change, but the provided snippet is sufficient to implement.

I am looking to change the browser tab title / page.title of an alternate Collections List template I created. I’m not sure where I can edit this and I preferably want to change just for that page and not go through theme.liquid to set a condition to change the for that specific page.

It currently shows ‘Collections’ and I want to change it to ‘Providers’. I’m using Dawn online store 2.0 theme.

Hi @pam-en3thiong ,

Go to layout > theme.liquid file, find ‘page_title’ and change code: https://i.imgur.com/JmyelQN.png => https://i.imgur.com/1jU1D6E.png

Code:

{%- if request.page_type == ‘list-collections’ -%}
Providers
{%- else -%}
{{ page_title }}
{%- endif -%}

Hope it helps!
