Thank you so much for this, it is so helpful. I have tried all the step below however I still cannot seem to get rid of the Sign In button on the banner at the top. Do you know of a way to just disable this function?

Implementing a website in Odoo without user profile creation or shopping cart functionalities is essential for businesses focusing on content delivery rather than e-commerce. Here's how to achieve this:

1. Understanding Odoo's Default Behavior:
   By default, Odoo's website module includes features for user sign-ups and shopping carts, catering to e-commerce needs. For non-commercial websites, these features may be unnecessary.
2. Disabling User Sign-Up:
   To prevent visitors from creating profiles:
   • Access Website Settings:
     Navigate to Website → Configuration → Settings.
   • Adjust Customer Account Settings:
     In the Customer Account section, set the option to On invitation. This restricts account creation to invited users only, effectively disabling public sign-ups.
3. Removing the Shopping Cart Feature:
   If the shopping cart is not required:
   • Uninstall eCommerce Module:
     If installed, go to Apps, search for eCommerce, and uninstall it. This action removes shopping-related features from your website.
   • Hide Cart Menu Items:
     Alternatively, manually hide or remove cart-related menu items:
     • Navigate to Website → Configuration → Menus.
     • Locate and delete or disable the Shop and Cart menu items to prevent them from appearing on the website.
4. Utilizing Third-Party Modules:
   For more control over website features, consider third-party modules:
   • Website Hide Price, Add to Cart and Qty on Shop:
     This module allows hiding prices and the 'Add to Cart' button, effectively disabling shopping functionalities.
   • Website Sale Require Login:
     This module forces users to log in before accessing certain features, which can help control user interactions on your site.
5. Customizing Templates:
   For advanced customization:
   • Edit Website Templates:
     Access the website editor to modify templates, removing or hiding elements related to user profiles and shopping carts.
   • Adjust Access Rights:
     Set appropriate access rights to ensure only desired features are available to the public.
