To remove the default Wishlist and Compare Products blocks on a category page with layered

navigation,

the

developer

should

place

the

modification

in

the

app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_LayeredNavigation/layout/catalog_category_view_t

ype_layered.xml file. This file is specific to the category pages with layered navigation and will

override the default layout file from the Magento_LayeredNavigation module. The modification

should use the tag with the name attribute specifying the name of the block and

the remove attribute set to true. For example:

<referenceBlock

name=“catalog.compare.sidebar”

remove=“true”/>

<referenceBlock

name=“wishlist_sidebar” remove=“true”/>

The

app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_LayeredNavigation/layout/override/catalog_categor

y_view_type_layered.xml file is not valid and will not work, as it is not a valid override path. The

app/design/frontend/Vendor/Theme/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view.xml file is not

specific to the category pages with layered navigation and will affect all category pages. Reference:
