I am trying to override app/code/Mageants/SampleProduct/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_view.xml in my theme. I copied it to app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Mageants_SampleProduct/layout/catalog_product_view.xml, made some changes, and redeployed and cleared the cache.

This is not working. I also tried with a template file which worked without any problems, only the XML is making trouble. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

If you want to overwrite layout the path must be app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Mageants_SampleProduct/layout/override/base/catalog_product_view.xml

  • If you want override a layout of a specific theme, for example: ../layout/override/theme/Magento/luma/catalog_product_view.xml

First, check if It may be already overwritten in app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml or not.

IF not overwrite then add your code into app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

IF overwrite then update your code into the existing app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

  • For overwrite layout needs to use override/base. Please see my answer.

  • @VictorTihonchuk Please read the doc proper if you want to override base layouts then you use override/base.

  • @VictorTihonchuk And by the way, the vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_view.xml file is not in the base folder. Please check and remove the vote-down. devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/frontend-dev-guide/layouts/…
