Summary:

I'd like to remove the entire Account tab from the Magento 2.0.x mobile menu. Our site doesn't have accounts for users, it's more like a catalog with no purchasing.

I've found many examples of how to remove items from the Account tab, but none to remove the tab itself.

Steps already taken:

  • I'm working in developer mode with cache disabled.
  • I've overridden app/code/Magento/Customer/view/frontend/layout/customer_account.xml to remove the customer_account_navigation block, but the menu still shows:

e.g. <my_theme_dir>/Magento_Customer/layout/customer_account.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd" label="Customer My Account (All Pages)" design_abstraction="custom">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation" remove="true" />
    </body>
</page>
  • I've tried removing the block in default.xml in the same folder above. Didn't work.
  • I've done a bin/magento setup:di:compile and bin/magento cache:clear after updating the XML just to be sure that wasn't required. Neither helped.
  • I've hunted all throughout the code base to find anything related to "Account" or the navigation menu. Nothing I found and changed removed the tab.

Questions:

  1. Am I overriding the correct file?
  2. Am I overriding it in the correct location in my theme directory?

Add this code in you active theme's default.xml

<referenceContainer name="page.top">
   <referenceBlock name="store.links" remove="true" />
</referenceContainer>

And run command

 - php bin/magento cache:clean

  • Knowing where the theme's default.xml is located is tricky to a newbie. We ended up editing default.xml located in <theme_dir>/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml. This worked, but is there another default.xml you are referencing?

  • No, just make sure that make this changes in active theme app/design/frontend/<vendor>/<theme_dir>/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml.

First copy the whole customer_account.xml with content to your theme. and before the tag just add <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation" remove="true" /> . It's worked for me

<?xml version="1.0"?>
