Remove Description Text from All-Collections Page

Topic summary

A user is attempting to remove collection descriptions from their All-Collections page while keeping only collection images and titles. The current layout displays descriptions that make the page appear disorganized.

Solutions Proposed:

  • Dan-From-Ryviu suggested hiding the “Collection banner” section via Online Store > Themes > Customize > Collections > Default collection
  • PageFly-Oliver provided custom CSS code to be added to the theme.liquid file, targeting pages with “all” in the handle

Current Status:

Neither solution has worked for the user. Key complications:

  • The user is working with the Atlantic theme, which lacks the “Collection Banner” option mentioned in the first solution
  • The custom code targets URLs containing “all”, but the user’s URL is simply “/collections” without that keyword
  • The user created a custom menu titled “All Collections” following Shopify’s vintage theme documentation, which should create an “all-collections” handle

The issue remains unresolved, and the user is seeking Atlantic theme-specific solutions.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for your suggestion. I gave it a try but it didn’t take the description text off of the /collections/ page. I wonder if it is because the URL does not contain the word “all”? the URL is just our “domain.com/collections

When I set up the menu to show only certain collections, I followed these instructions and titled the menu “All Collections” which is meant to give it the handle “all-collections”

I forgot to mention I am working on the Atlantic theme.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
