Hidden Collections?

Connie — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 16:29:27 GMT

Did Zazzle remove the ability to hide collections? I have a couple of collections that were private- one was was for my own shopping or favorite items from other sellers, and one is a collection of blank products so I could easily find the ones I want to design on. Both of those are showing in my collections list as "Ready to Migrate." But I don't want to migrate them- I want to keep them private!

It's still possible to hide them @Connie. On the collection management pages .... to the right of where you enter the collection type is a section called 'Collection Channels'. Turn off the 'enabled' to hide it from whichever 'channel' you don't want it to appear in.

Baylee (or anyone) will this "Turn off" still allow DIRECT collections? or, is it only for the shopkeeper to see?

Sorry, I've got no idea @BKMuir. I've never used a 'DIRECT' collection and didn't even know there was such a thing..lol.

Thanks, @Connie and @Baylee. I followed the steps above and disabled my Hidden collection, but when I do the following (in a different browser, not logged in), I still see the collections (without products but still presented)

Go to Public Storefront
Click the Collections tab (Everything is ok here. It just shows the public collections)
Select one of the public collections to view it.
Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Under "Other Collections you may like..." it still shows the Hidden/Disabled collections. it shows them with a lock and no products are shown but they are still presented to the customer.

I don't see nothing to make my collection public.

Hi @marcellaessenti,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue here. Within the Collection Edit page, you'll find different channels available for each collection/type and its status. By clicking on the channel, you can easily make adjustments to resolve any issues. You can find more information on this here. Please provide a link to the Collection in question if you are still experiencing an issue after that.

Thank you for your patience!
