For some reason there is a new link on my quicklinks called “Site Contents”.
Solutions I’ve tried (and failed):
1)When I go to navigation on site settings, it does not show up there so I can’t hide it or delete it.
2) using Navigation Elements to get rid of all the quicklinks won’t be helpful because all the quicklinks were gone except “Site Contents”
3) Entering this script gets rid of all of quicklinks even Site Contents. <style>#sideNavBox { display:none; }</style> Only problem is I want to keep my quicklinks.
Any suggestions?
You could try this jquery
$(“span:contains(‘Site contents’)”).closest(‘li’).css(“display”, “none”);
Basically you find the site contents span and get the li tag to hide it. Just check if your html id in the same format.
Edit your master page, Search for the “PlaceHolderQuickLaunchBottom” content-place holder & comment out the div tags as mentioned below,
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id=”PlaceHolderQuickLaunchBottom” runat=”server”>
<%–<div class=”ms-core-listMenu-verticalBox”>
<SharePoint:ClusteredSPLinkButton
runat=”server”
id=”idNavLinkViewAll”
PermissionsString=”ViewFormPages”
NavigateUrl=”~site/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx”
Text=”<%$Resources:wss,AllSiteContentMore%>”
accesskey=”<%$Resources:wss,quiklnch_allcontent_AK%>”
CssClass=”ms-core-listMenu-item ms-core-listMenu-heading” />
</div>–%>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
What is your SharePoint version and site template did you use?
Typically, I’ve seen Site Contents show up based on certain site templates used. I also have sites where I would like to hide “Site Contents” link instead of changing permissions if I have lists/libraries that I don’t want users to access.
In some sites, EDIT LINKS is available at the bottom of Quick Launch which makes it easy to remove this link.
Chanakya’s answers are your only options.
However, my question is “why”. Site Contents is the place your employees who interact with SharePoint should be able to find lists/libraries and such that may or may not be in your navigation. It’s *supposed* to be there 🙂
