Magento 2.1.6 – Can’t Override list.phtml

cataloglist.phtmlmagento2theme-fallback

I'm trying to override Magento_Catalog list.phtml in magento 2.1.6 and it's not working. I have a theme working and others templates and layouts overrides are working correctly.

My custom list.phtml is here:

app\design\frontend\vendor\theme\Magento_Catalog\templates\product\list.phtml

If I remove "category.product.list" in my "catalog_category_view.xml" in

app\design\frontend\vendor\theme\Magento_Catalog\layout

with this funcion:

<referenceBlock name="category.products.list" remove="true" />

product grid disappears.

I've tried also to disable modules but it's not working.

I'm doing tests modifying list.phtml line 68 link class:

    <a class="product-item-link test"

And in my grid isn't showing this change.

Since when doing reference for removing it works , i m guessing that you are using the current active theme.

Make sure you are in developer mode and then I would try to clean pub/static and var/view_preprocessed and redeploy static content. If this doesn't work try and extend the layout. In app\design\frontend\vendor\theme\Magento_Catalog\layout\catalog_category_view.xml

......
<referenceContainer name="content">
        <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Category\View" name="category.products" template="Magento_Catalog::category/products.phtml">
            <block class="Vendor\Module\Block\Product\ListProduct" name="category.products.list" as="product_list" template="Magento_Catalog::product/list.phtml">
...... rest of file depending on what you are extending

I had to extend ListProduct.php for different reasons so i don't know if it works with default but this is working for me.

Magento – Magento 2: How to move category description to main column

Personally I did it this way:

<move element="category.description" destination="category.image" />

And then inside:

Magento_Catalog/templates/category/image.phtml

Called:

<?php echo $block->getChildHtml('category.description'); ?>

Because I wanted it inside the image, but you could put it just below instead.

I'm sure there's a better way but can't check atm.

Magento2 – How to Override Product Review list.phtml File

When you place the file in the same location like you have done you extend the file, to completely override it you need to place it in the following directory:

<theme_dir>
  |__/<Namespace_Module>
    |__/layout
      |__/override
         |__/base
           |--<layout1>.xml
           |--<layout2>.xml

Or if you need to overwrite the file from a parent theme:

<theme_dir>
  |__/<Namespace_Module>
    |__/layout
      |__/override
         |__/theme
            |__/<Parent_Vendor>
               |__/<parent_theme>
                  |--<layout1>.xml
                  |--<layout2>.xml

Your example

So if you are overriding review_product_list.xml from base (the module) you would create this file:

app/design/frontend/Test/abc/Magento_Review/layout/override/base/review_product_list.xml

And if you're overriding it from a parent theme:

app/design/frontend/Test/abc/Magento_Review/layout/override/theme/PARENT-VENDOR/PARENT-THEME/review_product_list.xml

If this doesn't work I think there is a bigger problem, such as a theme not being configured properly.

You can read more about overriding XML files in the dev docs here.
