How do I disable "shop by" and compare blocks?
7 answers
You should be able to disable these widgets by going to --> System/Configuration/Advanced <-- and select ‘disable’
Been there already, those boxes are not listed in the Advanced Area.
Perhaps THIS REFERENCE may be of assistance
Was able to disable the "shop by" function, but I can not find any reference to the compare products. Please provode me a full answer, not just a reference to something that might help. I have spent hours on this issue which, if given proper direction, should take only a minute or two to resolve.
Thank you.
In order to remove compare product block, you can open file: \app\design\frontend\default\jm_sportsgear\layout\ catalog.xml, at approx line 51, you comment or remove this line of code:
Code:
<block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>
Then flush magento cache.
Thank you very much, that worked. I did make that update previously, I did not flush the cache. I see now that flushing the cache is something I might have to do whenever I make some of these changes.
Thank you very much for the detailed reply.
If you’re in development stage, you can disable all caches so that you can see the changes immediately: http://prntscr.com/3yiunr
