Remove Manufacturer From Left Column

[Guest]

I read posts on this, went in to Configure, Product Listing, Display Category/Manufacturer filter, it was already on "0" but it still shows up in the left column of my store. Why is this even in there in the first place with all these manufacturers? How do you get rid of it? Thanks.

That's not what that filter does...

 

To rid the left column of the Manufacturers all together you will need to edit a php file.

 

In /%catalog%/includes/column_left.php find this:

 if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
   echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');
 }

and add a block comment so that it looks like this...

/*
 if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
   echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');
 }
*/
