How to Remove Subcategory Links and Thumbnail [Thirtybees]

In this tutorial, I will show you to remove the subcategory links and thumbnail images of Thirtybees Niara template. This is also applicable to Prestashop version 1.6xx.

1. Find and edit the category.tpl file. Path: thirtybees/your-theme/category.tpl

2. Open the category.tpl with your text processor (I recommend notepad++)

3. Remove all block of codes from line 9 to 110. This will take off subcategories links and thumbnail images.

Deleted all these lines:

<section id="category-info">
            {if $category->id_image}
                <div id="category-banner">

                </ul>
            </section>
        {/if}

4. Your category.tpl file should look like this after deleting those lines.

{include file="$tpl_dir./errors.tpl"}

{if !empty($category) && $category->id}
    {if !$category->active}
        <div class="alert alert-warning">{l s='This category is currently unavailable.'}</div>
    {else}
        <main>
        

        {if !empty($products)}
            <section id="category-products">
                <h2 class="page-heading">
                    {l s='Products'}

                    <div class="pull-right">
                        {include file="$tpl_dir./category-count.tpl"}
                    </div>
                </h2>
                <div class="content_sortPagiBar clearfix">
                    <div class="form-inline sortPagiBar clearfix">
                        {include file="./product-sort.tpl"}
                        {include file="./nbr-product-page.tpl"}
                    </div>
                    <div class="top-pagination-content form-inline clearfix">
                        {include file="./product-compare.tpl"}
                        {include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl"}
                    </div>
                </div>
                {include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$products}

                <div class="content_sortPagiBar">
                    <div class="bottom-pagination-content form-inline clearfix">
                        {include file="./product-compare.tpl" paginationId='bottom'}
                        {include file="./pagination.tpl" paginationId='bottom'}
                    </div>
                </div>
            </section>
        {/if}

    {/if}
    </main>
{/if}
