How to Hide a Static Block on Specific Category Product Pages in Magento

static-block

On all my product pages just below the main product images I have a static block called "block_product_img_bottom", which contains a small image.

All but one category must display this image, so how do I hide this static block on just one of my categories?

You have to go to the specific category page in the Magento backend, then look custom design and there for XML Layout update.

Then there you put that code

<reference name="product.info">
   <remove name="block_product_img_bottom"/>
</reference>

That´s it already.

Update Try product.info instead of content. See code above. Also I realized when looking at your website that its for a specific product. So please open the product then click on design and add the code there under Custom Layout Update

If no

then you have a problem with the view of ANY block. Check your app/design/frontend/<base>/<default>/template/catalog/category/view.phtml for this entry:

<?php if($this->isContentMode()): ?>
    <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>

<?php elseif($this->isMixedMode()): ?>
    <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
    <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>

<?php else: ?>
    <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

If yes

Something with your block is wrong or with the template. Check the template and the system.log for errors
