Magento 2 how to remove “SKU field” via Layout Update XML?

Question

I'm stuck on this:

I need to remove the SKU field from product page only for few products, I'm sure that I can do it with "layout update XML" tab but all my attempts have failed.. any help? :)

Answer 1

Try this solution.

You have to mention the block container name also

<referenceContainer name="product.info.stock.sku">
       <referenceBlock name="product.info.sku" remove="true" />
</referenceContainer>

Here,product.info.stock.sku is the container name of your block.

<referenceContainer name="{CONTAINER_NAME_OF_BLOCK}">
       <referenceBlock name="{BLOCK_NAME_AT_LAYOUT}" remove="true" />
</referenceContainer>

If it not work then you can use the below solution also.

• Create a new container

• and Move your block to this container

• After that remove container:

<container name="my.new.sections" htmlTag="div" />
<move element="product.info.sku" destination="my.new.sections" />
<referenceContainer name="my.new.sections" remove="true" />

Formula:

<container name="{New_Conatiner_Name}" htmlTag="div" />
<move element="{BLOCK_NAME_AT_LAYOUT}" destination="{New_Conatiner_Name}" />
<referenceContainer name="{New_Conatiner_Name}" remove="true" />

Answer 2

1. Go to backend
2. Select products that You need

3. Edit attributes and choose layout update.

4. Paste this:

<referenceBlock name="product.info.sku" remove="true" />

and save

Update: Add reference container around referenceBlock

<referenceContainer name="your container ">
