How to hide empty collections in the Studio theme menu?

[Maygin_Theresa]

I'm working with the studio theme and want empty collections to not show up in the menu. I'm using the mega menu. TIA!

@Maygin_Theresawelcome to the Shopify Community,

You just need to add a conditional logic to the collection list template in the theme files

Online Store > Edit Theme Code > Theme files > collection-list.json

{% if collection.products_count != 0 %}
no collection will show untill it have products.
{% else %}
all the products will load if they have products.
{% endif %}

Thanks

thanks

Thank you. My collection-list code looks like this

{{ 'component-card.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}

Can you please tell me what to put and where? I have tried so many solutions i've seen and none of them work. Thank you!

[GFAD]

Can I ask what version of studio you're using? That's the same theme that we use, but this solution doesn't seem to work for me so I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong or if I have an older version or something.
