I don't know if this question has answered before. I am creating a custom theme in magento 2.1. My parent theme is magento/blank.

I have copied layout and template files from module-theme\view\frontend and pasted in app/design/frontend/vendor/themename/Magento_Theme/

My problem is that I lost the top links with welcome message after copying and pasting the layout folder. If i rename app/design/frontend/vendor/themename/Magento_Theme/layout to any random name top links appears.

Can any one help me to sort it out? Thank you.

  • Copy only file-names not content. And copy only required files which need to edit. You only need to add updated code in these files. try this

  • I have removed the unwanted files. Now my custom theme layout folder have only default.xml and default_head_blocks.xml only. Still it is not working. But if I rename custom theme layout folder to something else, it is working.

Here are few thing to do:

  • Copy only file-names from parent theme. And copy only required files which need to edit. You only need to add updated code in these files.
  • You add updated code in default.xml file. Only which you want to edit not all. ie if you to remove any element then you can mention like this <referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/> inside body tag
