Remove cateogries from sidebar on category pages?

[luxuriousloook]

Hi,

What is the best way to remove the standard sidebar category drop down list?

I wish to only have the layered navigation menu's on the left sidebar. The theme is based on Ultimo on magento 2.2.

Thank you

Does this stackoverflow post help at all?

I tried the bottom solution which was :

go to Backend > Products > Categories chose the category you want to remove catalog.leftnav from

then go to Design tab, inside Layout Update XML put <referenceContainer name="catalog.leftnav" remove="true"/>

this should remove catalog.leftnav from that category only.

this removed the sidebar filtered navigation but not the subcategories as i want,

you can find this in configuration
go to :
Store -> Configuration -> Infortis Extensions

here you can find all configuration regarding this extension and you can
disable the category dropdown listing here.

Tried this and didnt work either.

I have attached image, where the mouse pointer is the area i want removed .

THANKS

catalog.leftnav is the default name for the left navigation. You will need to look into the layout XML of the ultimo theme to see how this area is managed and then follow the same process to remove it.

I know this is an old post; but I've been hunting for the same thing for some time.  How to not show Magento's "categories" in the sidebar navigation.

I'm using a custom Ultimo theme, so this should also work for the OP.

Add this css to your  "_custom.less" file:

.block.block-vertnav.clearfix.hide-below-768 { display: none; }

This removes Magento's categories, but leaves the "Shop By" layered navigation below it.

Hope that helps ...
