Each product has a "Add to Compare" link with it and the catalog list page has a "Compare Products" section in the sidebar. I want to remove all trace of compare functionality in my template.

All the answers and help have been on Magento 1.* versions. They don't work in Magento 2.

I'm quite new to Magento2, but I think you should look into vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/products/list/items.phtml.

Search for $showCompare. Just set it to false, should work.

  • Wow, it's really hard coded in the templates, I don't see any other way either, except overriding Magento\Catalog\Helper\Product\Compare and let all the get*Url() methods return an empty string.

  • Yep, same conclusion. I think it would be better to override template file since it is an "aesthetic" modification. $showCompare = false; after the switch.

  • Agreed, under this conditions. I was just baffled that you cannot configure it, not even via layout XML action.

  • Quite weird... but AFAIK they are still hardowrking on making all the code compliant with the guidelines. So maybe in the next future.
