I am working on a Magento 2.1.7 shop.

The products are organized into categories and subcategories.

Whenever a customer visits a category, filters (links to its subcategories) are displayed. I want to disable the filters.

The path to the file responsible with the filters is

vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/navigation/left.phtml

I want to overwrite it from app/design/frontend/myCompany/myTheme/.

  1. How do I disable filters by coding?
  2. Can the filters be disabled from Magento admin?

  • Do you want to remove all filters or just Subcategory type?

  • Can you tell me which filter options you want to remove? Or remove entire filteration part from category page?

In your theme directory create ( if the file is not existing already ) Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view.xml and remove the block by adding the following line <referenceBlock name="catalog.leftnav" remove="true" /> do not forget to add the xml needed nodes. Your code should look something like the below example.

<?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="catalog.leftnav" remove="true"/>
    </body>
</page>

Try to replace code under app/design/frontend/{Vendor}}/{themename}}/Magento_LayeredNavigation/templates/layer/view.phtml

From

<?php foreach ($block->getFilters() as $filter): ?>
    <?php if (!$wrapOptions): ?>
        <strong role="heading" aria-level="2" class="block-subtitle filter-subtitle"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Shopping Options') ?></strong>
        <dl class="filter-options" id="narrow-by-list">
    <?php $wrapOptions = true; endif; ?>
        <?php if ($filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
            <dt role="heading" aria-level="3" class="filter-options-title"><?= $block->escapeHtml(__($filter->getName())) ?></dt>
            <dd class="filter-options-content"><?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $block->getChildBlock('renderer')->render($filter) ?></dd>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

To

<?php foreach ($block->getFilters() as $filter): ?>
    <?php if (!$wrapOptions): ?>
        <strong role="heading" aria-level="2" class="block-subtitle filter-subtitle"><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Shopping Options') ?></strong>
        <dl class="filter-options" id="narrow-by-list">
    <?php $wrapOptions = true; endif; ?>
    <?php  if($filter->getName() != __('Category')): ?>
        <?php if ($filter->getItemsCount()): ?>
            <dt role="heading" aria-level="3" class="filter-options-title"><?php echo $block->escapeHtml(__($filter->getName())) ?></dt>
            <dd class="filter-options-content"><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $block->getChildBlock('renderer')->render($filter); ?></dd>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
