Hiding a product from recommendations

[chameleon1]

Hi,

How can I hide a certain product from the recommendations/you may also like section? I’m using the Dawn theme.

Thanks heaps

1. Add a Tag to the Product:

   • Go to Products in Shopify admin.
   • Select the product and add a tag like hidden-recommendation.

2. Edit Dawn Theme Code:

   • Go to Online Store > Themes.
   • Click Actions > Edit Code.
   • Open product-recommendations.liquid in the Sections folder.
   • Add this code inside the product loop:

{% for recommendation in recommendations.products %}
  {% unless product.tags contains 'hidden-recommendation' %}
    
  {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
​

• This code ensures that any product with the hidden-recommendation tag will be excluded from the recommendations section.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I clicked edit code and searched for product-recommendations.liquid but I don’t have it. Any other name I could search for?

If your dawn theme is 2.0 then the name should be the same. If not then access to the store is required for further investigation.

Thanks

You can try this code by following these steps:

Step 1: Add ‘hidden’ tag for the products you want to hidden.

Step 2: Go to the online store ->Theme ->Edit Code.
Step 3: Find the related-products.liquid file and add code below to the file.

{% unless recommendation.tags contains 'hidden' %}

{% endunless %}

Hello @chameleon1

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Please check for related-products.liquid file

Hello, I am using the Palo Alto theme. I’ve tried inserting the snippet, as shown in the correct file, but it is returning an error. Do I need different syntax because of the theme?

Here’s the code appearing on the page:

{%- if block.type == ‘related’ and product.collections.size > 0 -%}

{%- if recommendations.performed and recommendations.products_count > 0 -%} {{ headings_markup }}

{%- for product in recommendations.products -%}

{%- assign animation_delay = forloop.index0 -%}
{%- render ‘product-grid-item’,
product: product,
carousel: true,
columns_mobile: columns_mobile,
animation_delay: animation_delay,
section_width: section_width,
animation_anchor: related_anchor
-%}
{%- endfor -%}

{%- endif -%}

Did this work for you? It didn’t work for me?

Hi, @Smeelah

I can help you with it. So I need to access your store as a collaborator if possible.

Hey @chameleon1 @rebornstudios @Smeelah

Just jumping on this thread here. If you’d like to try a no-code approach to fixing this, our app ConvertWise lets you show relatively more accurate recommendations than Shopify. (Some of our clients have talked about getting better engagement on their product pages, & significantly better cart conversions as well)

You can also choose to exclude/hide certain products from being shown.

Happy to chat if you have any further questions:)

Hi Sandesh, would this work for someone using the enterprise 1.5.2 theme?

and in this part - do we need to every product that has the hidden tag?
