In The Boost Theme, How To Hide Products In Search And Reccomendations

Shopify Discussion
,

Topic summary

Goal: Hide specific products from appearing in the Boost theme’s “Recommended products” section; prior guide tried by the poster did not work with Boost.

Key suggestions:

  • A developer confirmed it’s possible but requires theme customization and could be time-consuming; requested store details and offered direct contact for implementation.
  • Another participant provided a general Shopify Liquid approach: use a product tag (e.g., “hide-from-recommendations”) and filter the recommendations loop to exclude tagged products. This relies on Shopify’s Liquid templating and product tags for conditional display. They offered to give a theme-specific fix with access to the theme.

Technical note:

  • “Liquid” is Shopify’s templating language; “product tags” are labels used to categorize or control product behavior, such as visibility in sections.
  • A code snippet was central, illustrating tag-based filtering in the recommendations loop.

Status:

  • No confirmed Boost-specific solution posted yet; implementation details remain pending.
  • The “search” portion of the title was not addressed in the replies, leaving that question open.

Hi there,

Is it possible to hide products from appearing in the recommended products section in theme Boost?

I’ve tried the steps in this article (https://community.shopify.com/topic/1319310), but it doesn’t work with my theme.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey @Shelliee

Here’s a general example of how you might modify the code. This example assumes that you’re using product tags to mark the products you want to hide (e.g., a tag like “hide-from-recommendations”).

{% for product in recommendations.products %}
  {% unless product.tags contains 'hide-from-recommendations' %}
    
  {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}

If you give access to your theme then i can rocommend exact solution that will work for your theme.

Thanks
