You shouldn't edit code directly from magento codebase: vendor/magento.

To add a selectable layout to CMS page, create a selectable layout file for CMS pages:

cms_page_view_selectable_<CMS Page Identifier>_<Layout Update Name>.xml

where:

  • CMS Page Identifier is the desired page’s URL Key with “/” symbols replaced with “_”.
  • Layout Update Name is what is shown as the option for the Custom layout update field of the Design section on the CMS Page Edit page. For example, a layout update for an “About Us” page will be “cms_page_view_selectable_about-us_AboutUs.xml”.

This file must be placed in the appropriate folders for layout XML files, it be located in:

  • in your module: <module dir>/view/frontend/layout
  • in your theme: <theme dir>/Magento_Cms/layout

Sample code for cms_page_view_selectable_about-us_AboutUs.xml file (your file content should be the same):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="header.container" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock name="catalog.topnav" remove="true"/>
        <referenceContainer name="footer-container" remove="true"/>
    </body>
</page>

Flush the cache and go to CMS Page Edit page, the new selectable layout was added in Custom Layout Update field of the Design section.

  • @LichaelHipolito looks like your selectable layout file name is incorrect. There are 3 parts in this file: part 1: cms_page_view_selectable_, part 2 is the CMS Page Identifier - which is the URL Key (replace "/" with "_" if URL Key has "/" character), part 3 is Layout Update Name - you can set the name as you want but not using space or special characters. Another example, the selectable layout file name for privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode page is: cms_page_view_selectable_privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode_PrivacyPolicy.xml

  • @LichaelHipolito please don't edit magento codebase (vendor/magento) because after you upgrade magento version, your changes will be lost.
