Information: I'm using Magento 2.1 on CentOS Linux, my theme is a child of the built-in Luma theme.

When the theme I made is active, I want some blocks to be removed. Let's say I want to remove the SKU number from the product page.

What I do is:

  • In my theme folder, I add a file called Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml, with the following content

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="product.info.sku" remove="true" />
    </body>
</page>

  • I change the version in composer.json from 100.x.0 to 100.(x+1).0 (so for example if the current version is 100.2.0 I change it to 100.3.0). To be honest, don't really know if this is necessary.

  • I delete the <theme-name> folders from pub/static/frontend/<theme-vendor> and var/view_preprocessed/css/frontend/<theme-vendor>.

  • I run the following commands from the Magento root:

    sudo php bin/magento cache:clean
sudo chown -R <user-of-Magento>:<group-of-that-user> *
sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy nl_NL en_US
sudo chown -R <user-of-Magento>:<group-of-that-user> *

But the block is still there! Unchanged. I tried other blocks, like the add to cart button, but also without success.

What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Try following code

<referenceContainer name="content">
    <referenceBlock name="product.info.sku" display="false" />
</referenceContainer>

  • This worked for me but I need to wrap with columns instead of content.

Delete the var directory and then run bin/magento setup:di:compile

Your name of that block is wrong :)

You should use this correct name:

<referenceBlock name="product.info.stock.sku" remove="true"/>

Then run: 

php bin/magento setup:upgrade && php bin/magento cache:flush

  • Don't run setup:upgrade for a simple XML change. This could cause a lot of issues.

Your code is correct:

<referenceBlock name="product.info.sku" remove="true" />

You don't need to change your composer.json or delete the static folders or change permissions or run the static content deployment.

You just have to clear the cache bin/magento cache:clean and see the changes. If it doesn't work you can try:

  • Check the browser cache (it's often just that)
  • Clear the cache manually. Delete the content of the var/cache folder
  • Make sure you are working on the right theme. Write something in a .phtml file as a test.
