I've been testing around with Magento for a while and I want to start themeing a bit. I really getting annoyed by something I probably can't seem to get right. I've been creating my own theme folders:
app/design/frontend/bi/default/ and skin/design/frontend/bi/default/
Now when adding .phtml files to app/design/frontend/bi/default/templates it works like a charm. Also when I'm changing a bit of css. But when I try to remove blocks from my page it doesn't seem to work.(Magento 1.9 btw)
app/design/frontend/bi/default/layout/local.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
<default>
<remove name="paypal.partner.right.logo"/>
<remove name="right.permanent.callout"/>
</default>
</layout>
I Can't seem to figure out what the problem is but when I turn on path hints in developer mode. The callout and paypal are still loaded. frontend/base/default/template/callouts/right_col.phtm for example is what the path says when loading the page.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT
When I put <remove name="paypal.partner.right.logo"/>
in my payapal.xml default file it does in fact remove the paypal logo. But I would like to control this all in the local.xml file in which it is not working.
EDIT2
I changed the local.xml a bit to add jquery but that isn't including it either. It seems like the local.xml isn't loaded at all. Is this normal in magento-1.9.1 probably?
