Magento 2 – How to Remove and Change Footer Links

footermagento2

I want to remove the default links of the luma layout and add new links. How can I do that?

Best Answer

"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

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>

Magento – Magento 1.9 Footer Links

I've answered a similar question before, here:

Changing the footer in magento theme

Just so this is a proper answer though, the footer for the 1.9 RWD theme is declared in app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout/page.xml, the blocks are named footer_links and footer_links2.

You can get rid of them entirely by creating a local.xml (best practice as opposed to just editing page.xml) file in the layout folder and putting this in it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        <reference name="footer">
            <remove name="footer_links"/>
            <remove name="footer_links2"/>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

Inside that reference node you can also add your own blocks or widgets. Welcome to the world of Magento!

Magento 2 – How to Add a Block to Footer

I solved it now by creating a new block in the reference of the footer container of my module default.xml.

<referenceContainer name="footer-container">
    <container name="footer" as="footer" label="Page Footer" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="footer content">

        <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Links" name="footer_company_links">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">footer links</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>

        <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Links" name="footer_links" after="footer_company_links">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">footer links</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>    

        <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Footer" name="copyright" template="html/copyright.phtml"/>

    </container>
</referenceContainer>
