In Magento we can remove Compare Products block so easily from the home page. Just follow the steps given below to get rid of it from your home page and other pages.<\/p>\n

1. In your magento store admin panel, Go to System-> Configuration and then select Design on the left side bar.<\/p>\n

2. Check if your package is \u2018default\u2018 or \u2018somecustomethemename\u2018 . If its \u2018default\u2019 then go the following folder location<\/p>\n

Youstoreroot\/app\/design\/frontend\/default\/default\/<\/p>\n

In case of custom theme go to the following location<\/p>\n

Youstoreroot\/app\/design\/frontend\/yourcustomtheme\/default\/<\/p>\n

3. Create layout folder if its not there<\/p>\n

4. Create a new layout file called \u201clocal.xml\u201d inside layout folder<\/p>\n

and place the code below into it and save it.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
1<\/code><\/td>\n<?<\/code>xml<\/code> version<\/code>=<\/code>\"1.0\"<\/code>?><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n
2<\/code><\/td>\n<<\/code>layout<\/code> version<\/code>=<\/code>\"0.1.0\"<\/code>><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n
3<\/code><\/td>\n<<\/code>default<\/code>><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n
4<\/code><\/td>\n<<\/code>remove<\/code> name<\/code>=<\/code>\"catalog.compare.sidebar\"<\/code>\/><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n
5<\/code><\/td>\n<\/<\/code>default<\/code>><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n
6<\/code><\/td>\n<\/<\/code>layout<\/code>><\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. Go To System->cache management and refresh the cache types \u201cLayouts\u201c
\nand \u201cBlock HTML output\u201c. We \u2018re done with this.<\/p>\n

6. After refreshing just reload your page and find \u201cCompare Products\u201d has been removed from the sidebar in all your magento pages.<\/p>\n

Please ignore the instructions below , as its no more recommended and highly discouraged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Magento<\/a><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Go to yourStorename\\app\\design\\frontend\\base\\default\\layout<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case its demostore\\app\\design\\frontend\\base\\default\\layout<\/strong><\/p>\n

and find the file \u201ccatalog.xml<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\"Magento<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> We have to override this file by our default template. Create same directory structure what we had for catalog.xml inside base template.<\/p>\n

Create Two folders named \u201ctemplate<\/strong>\u201d and \u201clayout<\/strong>\u201d inside app\/design\/frontend\/default\/default<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Magento<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Copy the File \u201cCatalog.xml<\/strong>\u201d inside the layout folder what we have created inside the default folder.<\/p>\n

\"Magento<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Now open the catalog.xml file which we have copied just now inside default folder<\/strong> and comment<\/strong> out the code attached below which are inside the tag <reference name=\u201dright\u201d><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Magento<\/a><\/p>\n

FYI :\u00a0 Kindly use HTML comments <!\u2013 \u2013>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<!\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013><\/p>\n

And also comment out the code given below in catalog.xml<\/p>\n

<!\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n
