What I want to override:

vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

I copied the file to this location:

app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[MyCustomTheme]/Magento_Catalog/layout/override/base/catalog_product_view.xml

I commented out the product.info.details block:

<!--block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Description" name="product.info.details" template="Magento_Catalog::product/view/details.phtml" after="product.info.media">
            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Description" name="product.info.description" template="Magento_Catalog::product/view/attribute.phtml" group="detailed_info">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="at_call" xsi:type="string">getDescription</argument>
                    <argument name="at_code" xsi:type="string">description</argument>
                    <argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">description</argument>
                    <argument name="at_label" xsi:type="string">none</argument>
                    <argument name="title" translate="true" xsi:type="string">Details</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Attributes" name="product.attributes" as="additional" template="Magento_Catalog::product/view/attributes.phtml" group="detailed_info">
                <arguments>
                    <argument translate="true" name="title" xsi:type="string">More Information</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </block -->

I still see the block on my products page. I believe I followed every direction found here (using magento 2.2.4): https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/frontend-dev-guide/layouts/layout-override.html

I then performed these cli operations:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

Why am I not seeing any changes?

  • No, I did not. I was using a Pearl theme from Weltpixel and it appears that was why I was not able to extend or override files according to the guides. I'm new to stackexchange, what should I do to close out a question like this?

Reset to default

This is the correct path for it:

app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[MyCustomTheme]/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

Add this code on the catalog_product_view.xml if you want to remove the product info details

<referenceBlock name="product.info.details" remove="true">

    Thanks Jake for the answer, is your answer considered extending rather than overriding? I have tried your method. It did not work for me so I installed a fresh copy of magento 2, extended the luma theme and added the Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml layout file. I used the referenceBlock in your example to remove product.info.description, product.info.sku and product.info.overview. Nothing changed on my product page. The description, sku, and description overview blocks are still on the page.

  • Yes, I believe this is a form of extending and not overriding. The overriding documentation is here and it does not seem to be working.
