How do I remove the left hand side category menu from CMS pages?

[Daniel_BPT]

Hello,

Magento version: 1.9.2.4

I've created a custom sidebar menu as a static block and assigned it to all my CMS pages. However, I can't figure out how to remove the category menu. I've googled it a lot but I can't find an answer.

Here's a screenshot, I want to remove the 'Main Categories' menu.

Please can anyone help?

First of all you need to find out the name of this block. If its default magento block than its name should be catalog.leftnav

Once you know the name, go to edit your CMS page where you want to remove this. Go to design tab from left and in Layout Update XML area enter blow code. Replace catalog.leftnav with your block name.

<reference name="left">               
  <remove name="catalog.leftnav">        
</reference>

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried that before and I get an error when I try to save the page: XML data is invalid.
