I am working on a Magento 2.1.7 shop. To achieve this, I have created a child-theme of Magento Blank.

My top links (above the logo) are:

  1. Compare Products
  2. Default welcome msg!
  3. My Account
  4. My Wish List
  5. Create an Account
  6. Sign In

I need to know how, from my custom theme (I want to stay safe from the overwrites that occur when updating Magento), I could have only:

  1. My Cart
  2. My Wish List
  3. Sign In

In app/design/frontend/vendor/themename/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xmlI have changed:

<referenceBlock name="top.links">
        <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header" name="header" as="header" before="-">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="show_part" xsi:type="string">welcome</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
</referenceBlock>

into:

<referenceBlock name="top.links">
        <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header" name="header" as="header" before="-">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="show_part" xsi:type="string">welcome</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
        <referenceBlock  name="my-account-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock  name="compare-products-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock  name="wishlist_link" remove="true"/>
</referenceBlock>

With no effect.

How can I achieve this goal? Thank you!

  • Do you mean to say that you want to add your custom toplinks in your custom theme so when you upgrade magento version, it doesn't lose your changes?

  • I just tried my code, it is working for me, the only thing is that i got the name for the wishlist-link wrong. Did you try to clear the cache via php bin/magento cache:clean ?

Reset to default

You need to add a custom layout file to your theme.

app/design/frontend/vendor/themename/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

<?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="top.links">
        <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header" name="header" as="header" before="-">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="show_part" xsi:type="string">welcome</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
    </referenceBlock>

    <referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.link" remove="true" />
    <referenceBlock name="header" remove="true" />
    <referenceBlock name="register-link" remove="true" />
    <move element="top.links" destination="header-wrapper" after="logo" />
    </body>
</page>

There you can reference the elements you want to remove and do so with the attribute remove="true".

  • With what content? Did you already try to remove the links via your layout file?

  • With <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header" name="header" as="header" before="-"> <arguments> <argument name="show_part" xsi:type="string">welcome</argument> </arguments> </block> See question. I have edited it

  • Try to just add what you want deleted after your block declaration, inside your default.xml (see my edited answer).

  • The code <referenceBlock name="compare-products-link" remove="true"/> does not work. The "Compare Products" is still there.
