I'm trying to remove the main menu from the homepage, for this I used the following code in my custom template:
<referenceBlock name="store.menu" remove="true" />
But the menu is still there while other settings in the template work fine.
What else should I do to remove this main menu ?
To remove the main menu from your home page do the following thing
Create your own theme at this location
magento_root\app\design\frontend\Themes_package\theme\
Create a theme folder there at below location
magento_root\app\design\frontend\Themes_package\theme\Magento_Theme
Create a default.xml file there at below location
magento_root\app\design\frontend\Themes_package\theme\Magento_Theme\layout\default.xml
Put this code there
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="navigation.sections" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>
This will remove your navigation section
Thank You!
In more recent versions of Magento2, the remove method is now:
<referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="3columns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>
The final answer is:
<referenceContainer name="header-wrapper">
<referenceBlock name="navigation.sections" remove="true" />
</referenceContainer>
I wasn't referring to the correct block and, for some reason, I had to add a reference to the container.
