Removing block from layout doesn't work

Question

I want to remove the register-link from the header links, so I have wrote in the default.xml of the Module_Customer of my theme:

<referenceBlock element="register-link" remove="true"/>

The problem is the block is not removed and I don't know why.

Answer 1

You should use name instead of element in your xml

<referenceBlock name="register-link" remove="true"/>
