Two Collections the Same in Filters

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner using the Empire theme encountered duplicate collection filters appearing in their sidebar—one capitalized, one not. The issue manifests differently across collection pages: the clearance page displays filters correctly, while the pre-cuts page shows the duplication.

Root Cause Identified:
The problem stems from inconsistent collection template assignments rather than duplicate collections or theme settings.

Solution Provided:

  • Check which template is assigned to the working collection (Clearance) in the collection page settings
  • Apply that same template to the problematic collection (Pre-cuts)
  • This should resolve the duplicate filter display

The discussion includes a screenshot showing where to locate template assignments in the Shopify admin interface. The issue remains unresolved pending the original poster’s implementation of the suggested fix.

Can someone tell my why I have two Collections listed on the left? 1 is capitalized and 1 is not.

This is Empire Theme

Hi @Apawlowski

There are issues in the filter setting of your theme, you can fix it from the theme customization section, probably it would be under collections.

Theme settings are all good, there are no duplicate collections, therefore I think it is extra menu in my navigation, but not sure.

https://fabricroost.com/collections/clearance shows filters fine while https://fabricroost.com/collections/pre-cuts shows it wrong

Hi @Apawlowski

You have 2 different collection templates. That is where the problem is.

Please open the collection Clearance and see what template it is assigned to on the collection page:

Then, go to the collection Pre-cuts and assign the same same template.

This should fix the issue for you.
