Main issue: In the Dawn theme, clicking a collection on the Catalog page (and “Shop All”) simply refreshes or routes to the same page rather than showing products filtered by that collection.
Clarification: Both “Shop All” and “Catalog” point to /collections/all, so they lead to the same unfiltered product list. The collection grid items are standard links to collection pages, not interactive filters.
Explanation: Dawn does not provide a “filter-by-collection” control in the collection grid. If filtering by collection were a theme feature, it would appear at the top with other storefront filters.
Suggested actions: Use Shopify’s built-in storefront filters (see Shopify Help link provided) to enable filtering behavior. To mimic filter-by-collection, assign tags or metafields that match collection names and then filter by those attributes.
Resources: A screenshot highlights that the collection grid items are simple links, supporting the explanation.
Status: No confirmed fix applied in the thread; guidance and a customization offer were provided, discussion remains open.
Hi, I recently set up my store using the Dawn theme. I have the collections added manually to the catalog page and set to active. All items are uploaded, linked to the proper collections and set to active as well. When I go to my catalog page and click a collection it just refreshes the page instead of drilling down to the products in that collection. Same when I click “Shop All.” What am I missing here and how do I fix this?
Thank you!
Hi @kschropp , Shop All and Catalog both point to the same url /collections/all
The collection grid* are just normal links that navigate to those collections , they are not filters.
If filter-by-collection was a shopify-theme-feature it would be they would be at the top along with the other filter.
Read up on filters https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/customizing-themes/storefront-filters
To fake a filter-by-collection use tags or metafields set to have the same name as the actual collections.
If you need this customization setup for you then reach out to me , contact info in signature below. Please provide context: store url, theme name, post url and detail.
