How to remove the compare products feature in Magento 2?
The customer does not always need all the functions that are offered in the store. It all depends on the type of products you are selling. This time we will focus on the Magento product comparison function. Sometimes buyers simply don't need to compare the characteristics of two products, for example, when it comes to clothing.
But not everything is so easy. As is often the case, Magento's default functionality does not allow you to remove the compare products feature. Therefore, there is only a programmatic solution to this issue. We provide a code with which you can solve the problem posed.
Warning: all code snippets in this article are examples. You need to customize them to suit your business needs.
Create the default.xml file in Vendor/Extension/view/frontend/layout and use the following code to remove Magento compare feature:
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.link" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="catalogsearch.product.addto.compare" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="category.product.addto.compare" remove="true"/>
<referenceBlock name="crosssell.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="related.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="upsell.product.addto.compare" remove="true" />
<referenceBlock name="view.addto.compare" remove="true" />
</body>
</page>
