Removing the 'My Product Reviews' Tab in Magento 2
In Magento 2, the 'My Product Reviews' tab appears in the customer's dashboard sidebar, displaying all product reviews submitted by the customer. If you prefer to remove this tab, follow these steps:
Create or Modify the customer_account.xml File:
- Navigate to your theme's layout directory:
app/design/frontend/{VendorName}/{ThemeName}/Magento_Review/view/frontend/layout/. - If the
customer_account.xmlfile doesn't exist, create it. - Add the following XML code to remove the 'My Product Reviews' tab:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="customer-account-navigation-product-reviews-link" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>
This code references the block responsible for the 'My Product Reviews' link and removes it.
Clear the Cache:
- After making changes to the XML file, clear the Magento cache to apply the modifications:
php bin/magento cache:clean
By following these steps, the 'My Product Reviews' tab will be removed from the customer's dashboard sidebar.
Additional Considerations
- Disabling the Review Module: If you wish to disable the entire review functionality, it's advisable to hide it using XML rather than disabling the module, as disabling can cause errors due to module dependencies.
- Removing Reviews from Product Pages: To remove the reviews tab from product detail pages, you can add the following code to your theme's
catalog_product_view.xmlfile:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="product.info.details">
<referenceBlock name="reviews.tab" remove="true"/>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
This code removes the reviews tab from the product detail page.
Always ensure to back up your files before making changes and test the modifications in a staging environment to prevent any disruptions to your live site.
