How to display filters on a filtered-by-tag collection?

Technical Q&A
1

For my site navigation I link into Collections and filter product categories using tags, e.g.

domain.tls/collections/tools/hammers where hammers is a tag

However, the filters bar then disappears and user cannot filter by any of the defined filter options

In my main-collection.liquid I see that has_filters == false when filtering a collection by tags. Forcing it to true has no effect (does not display filters).

How can I display filters on a collection already filtered by tags?

Please send your site and if your site is password protected, please send me the password. I will check it.

Hi @MountainMan1 ,

I checked and this is not possible, Shopify 2.0 filter doesn’t support it. You can refer to the following: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/customizing-themes/storefront-filters#custom-filters

If you want to use it, you can just install the app: https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-search or https://apps.shopify.com/product-filter-and-search

Hope it is clear to you.

Theme OS 2.0 does not support it yet. You may want to use this filter app https://apps.shopify.com/ultimate-search-and-filter-1 that fully supports filtering by collections, tags, metafield, options, etc.
