I am messing with this problem for two days, i want my horizontal menu to appear on all pages except the homepage. my homepage shows both vertical and horizontal menu, however, i just want vertical menu to appear on the home page and horizontal menu to appear on all other pages. here is the code of

/app/design/frontend/my_package/my_theme/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml <

 <referenceContainer name="page.top">
        <container name="top.container" as="topContainer" label="After Page Header Top" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="top-container"/>

        <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="navigation.sections" before="-" template="Magento_Theme::html/sections.phtml">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="group_name" xsi:type="string">navigation-sections</argument>
                <argument name="group_css" xsi:type="string">nav-sections</argument>
            </arguments>

            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="store.menu" group="navigation-sections" template="Magento_Theme::html/container.phtml">

                <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Topmenu" name="catalog.topnav" template="html/sidebarmenu.phtml" ttl="3600"/>
                <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="main_menu">
                    <arguments>
                        <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">main_menu</argument>
                    </arguments>
                </block>

Can someone guide me what should I do so that the horizontal menu does not appear on the front-page but appear on all other pages?

I've asked this question two times before, and now I'm asking this for the third time. dear seniors and experienced fellows guide me. this is what i've tried on

/app/design/frontend/my_package/my_theme/Magento_Theme/page_layout/1column.xml <

code below:

<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_layout.xsd">
   <referenceBlock name="main_menu" remove="true"/>
    <move element="catalog.leftnav" destination="sidebar.main" after="-"/>
    <referenceContainer name="columns">
        <container name="div.sidebar.main" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="sidebar-filter sidebar zoo-sidebar-main" before="main" htmlId="sidebar-without">
            <container name="sidebar.main" as="sidebar_main" label="Sidebar Main"/>
        </container>
    </referenceContainer>
   </refrenceBlock> 
</layout>

what am I doing wrong?

  • @piyush now magento is giving me "Please correct the XML data and try again. Element 'referenceBlock', attribute 'name': [facet 'pattern'] The value 'magento/main-menu' is not accepted by the pattern '[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z\d\-_\.]*'. Line: 2 Element 'referenceBlock', attribute 'name': 'magento/main-menu' is not a valid value of the atomic type 'elementNameType'. Line: 2"

Go to admin panel, Select Content->Pages from Menu and edit your homepage.

Then on edit page Under Design tab add below code for Layout Update XML input

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

change reference block name with your horizontal menu block name

  • Please correct the XML data and try again. Element 'referenceBlock': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( referenceContainer, container, update, move ). Line: 1
