The Magento Ver is 1.9 and the theme is a variant of the rwd theme. For a home page design I need to remove the header and footer completely but retain only the logo. I have tried this with the following code in layout update CMS page :
<reference>
<reference name="root">
<remove name="header"/>
<remove name="footer"/>
</reference>
The above code also removes the logo.
The following code retains the logo but also some other elements like Account Icon, search icon & 2 lines etc
<reference name="header">
<remove name="top.links"/>
<remove name="welcome"/>
<remove name="breadcrumbs"/>
<remove name="minicart_head"/>
<remove name="top.search"/>
<remove name="catalog.topnav"/>
<remove name="accountLinks"/>
<remove name="menu"/>
</reference>
Is there any way to just retain the logo and remove every thing else ?
