Solved: Magento 2.2.1 Footer links changes at blank theme

i_isaria · ‎09-21-2018

Hello,

I'm using MAGENTO 2.2.1 and blank theme. I wanted to chance footer links at blank theme.

How can I do that? I have tried several ways, but nothing works.

Regards,

Isaria

Hello @i_isaria,

There are some code format and node missing issue. Please check below code

<?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>
        <referenceBlock name="privacy-policy-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock name="search-term-popular-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock name="contact-us-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock name="catalog-search-advanced-link" remove="true"/>
        <referenceBlock name="footer_links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="your-link-name">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Title</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">path-of-your-page</argument>
                </arguments>

Hello @i_isaria,

"About us" link and "Customer Service" link: Static block with Identifier is "footer_links_block"

To remove other links, use xml file (default.xml) and add this code into < body > tag:

<referenceBlock name="name_of_link_block" remove="true"/>

Name of link block:

Privacy and Cookie Policy: privacy-policy-link
Search Terms: search-term-popular-link
Contact Us: contact-us-link
Advanced Search: catalog-search-advanced-link
Orders and Returns: sales-guest-form-link

To add new links to footer links, use this code:

<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
	<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="your-link-name">
		<arguments>
			<argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Title</argument>
			<argument name="path" xsi:type="string">path-of-your-page</argument>
		</arguments>
	</block>
</referenceBlock>

I have made the following:

Modified (after your instructions) the file c:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\theme-frontend-blank\Magento_Theme\layout\default.xml with this code:

<body> tag <referenceBlock name="privacy-policy-link"
           <referenceBlock name="search-term-popular-link"
 	   <referenceBlock name="contact-us-link"                    
           <referenceBlock name="catalog-search-advanced-link" 
           <referenceBlock name="sales-guest-form-link" 
remove="true"/>

<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="your-link-name">
		<arguments>
			<argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Title</argument>
			<argument name="path" xsi:type="string">path-of-your-page</argument>
		</arguments>
	</block>
</referenceBlock>

and flushed MAGENTO Cache and no changes happens
