Hi,

On impulse theme collection pages you have the option to show the collection title, but not the collection description. Is there any way to display the description under the title? Kind regards

Hey @troydewitt

If you’re using the Impulse theme and would like to display the collection description under the title on collection pages, you can typically achieve this by making some modifications to the theme’s code. Here’s a general guide on how you can do it:

  1. Access your Shopify admin panel and navigate to “Online Store” → “Themes.”

  2. Locate the Impulse theme and click on “Actions” → “Edit code.”

  3. In the left-hand sidebar, under “Sections,” find the file named “collection-template.liquid” or similar.

  4. Open the file and search for the code that displays the collection title. It may look something like this {% if collection.title %} {{ collection.title }} {% endif %}..

  5. To display the collection description, you can add the following code immediately after the code for the title:

    {{ collection.description }}

    .
    So the combined code could look like this:

{% if collection.title %}
  {{ collection.title }}
  

{{ collection.description }}

{% endif %}

Save the changes and preview your store to see if the collection description now appears under the title on the collection pages.

Please note that the code structure may vary slightly depending on the theme version or customizations you have made. Make sure to backup your theme before making any changes, and consider consulting a Shopify expert or the theme’s documentation for more precise instructions specific to your theme version if needed.

Hi, thank you for your reply! There is only one line that that uses ‘title’ which is

“name”: {{ collection.title | json }}.

Pasting the code immediately after unfortunately didn’t work

Hello @troydewitt

In the Impulse theme, the collection description is not included by default on the collection pages. However, with some customizations to the theme code, you can display the collection description under the title. Here’s a general guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Access the Theme Editor: Log in to your Shopify admin and navigate to “Online Store” and then “Themes.” Find the Impulse theme and click on the “Customize” button to access the Theme Editor.

  2. Open the collection page settings: In the Theme Editor, look for the section related to the collection pages. This section might be named “Collection Pages,” “Collection Template,” or something similar. Click on it to open the settings specific to collection pages.

  3. Edit the collection template: In the collection page settings, you’ll typically find options to modify the collection template. Look for an option that allows you to edit the collection template or customize the layout.

  4. Locate the code for collection title: In the collection template code, find the section that handles the display of the collection title. This section might be labeled as something like <h1> or <h2> with the collection title inside it.

  5. Insert the collection description code: After finding the collection title code, add the following code snippet right after it to display the collection description:

{{ collection.description }}

6.Save and preview changes: Save the modifications to the collection template code and preview your collection pages. The collection description should now appear below the collection title.

Please note that the actual code and steps may vary based on your specific version of the Impulse theme. If you encounter any difficulties or need more specific instructions, it’s recommended to reach out to the theme developer or Shopify support for further assistance.
