"Showing newest posts with label <label>. Show older posts"
If you are familiar with my previous tutorials, you would have seen a way to remove this tag. But I think this method deserves a dedicated tutorial for itself since it is a famous query when it comes to blog-tweaking.
In this tutorial, you will learn a very simple way to remove this annoying tag. Moreover, you will learn a way to fix the page margin as removing the label tag will create a gap in your page (in certain templates).
Step 1:
If you're using the old Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Design - Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
If you're using the new Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard ('House' symbol) - Template - Customize - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
If you're using the old Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard - Design - Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
If you're using the new Blogger interface: Go to Dashboard ('House' symbol) - Template - Customize - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
.status-msg-wrap{ display: none; }You're done! The step below is optional.
Step 2:
Depending on your template, you might have your entire posts shifted a few pixels down. I've seen templates where this is not an issue, in fact most templates could adapt with it. But there are those which could not. The image below depicts the issue that I am talking about:
I was thinking of inlcuding the fix in this post itself, but I think it'd be better for me to generalize the idea and make a new tutorial for it. So you can check out how to fix this issue here.

Thanks again! I really like not seeing that tag box =)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Many thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteIts not working for me..!! help
ReplyDelete@Bluetricks: I can't see the tag in your blog. In which page are you seeing this tag?
ReplyDeleteI'm using Blogger's Simple template. Tried this method and it worked really well! My posts did not shift at all. Thanks to Yoboy, I have learnt many ways to tweak my blog. And I like that the site is not ENTIRELY filled with adverts like many out there (hurts my eyes!). I've made this site my go-to place whenever I need help tweaking my blog. Many thanks and keep up the good job!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
DeleteThanks for dropping some words and your feedback. Appreciate it :) Hope you enjoy your stay here..
Cheers..
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI've done this in my other blog before and it worked but I'm having trouble with it this time because I used my label link for my page tab. What should I do?
Hi Debbie,
DeleteThe code should work even if you've placed the label in your pages gadget. The reason yours isn't working is because you've got a little piece of broken code in your template. It is preventing new CSS code from taking effect. Fix this broken code, and everything should be fine again. Took me forever to spot this little devil.
Find for this line in your code:
.title { font-family: "century gothic", verdana, arial;" }
And change it to (remove the stray " at the end of the line)
.title { font-family: "century gothic", verdana, arial;}
That should do it. Cheers!
Thank you so much! That tag really annoyed the crap out of me when I couldn't figure out what went wrong but I finally got it removed now. Can't believe a single quotation mark could mess everything up!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, really appreciate your help!
I know right? The tiniest thing could cause the biggest headache. Have fun :)
Deletethanks alot..
ReplyDeleteHi Yoga, Thanks for your tips it worked for my blog but only applied to Home screen. Once I get into another, it appears as before. Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteHi Busana,
DeleteThat's odd.. let me have a look at your blog. What's your blog's address?
Please http://bmn-olshop.blogspot.com, once you click one post youl'see there is 'showing post label,,,"
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply. I've seen your blog but I can't find the code in the tutorial above anywhere in your page. Did you save your template after adding the code above?
Deletethanks this is perfect !!!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteHi Yoga!
ReplyDeleteI've made those changes, but all pages are not at the same levelwith each other. Actually only page being in original place/layout is that Runot label-page. I suppose it's because I've been using some gadgets onlyon certain pages? I can live with that, but after going different label pages next round (after 8 posts) mainpage and gadget are jumping strange way to each other again. I will hide those two last ones but they are still in use by links.
And other problems: Is it possible to change all menu boxes to show different colour then you're on them? They don't work now like they should be. Only start page and the 3 last ones. working.
And: I cant get the link page wider. I would like to keep the black area as the same layout as other pages but having wider about that gadget inside.
Hi Kristian,
DeleteLet's handle one thing at a time. I can see your elements jumping up and down across different label pages. Do uou happen to have specific conditional codes in your blog?
Yes, I do. For gadgets (showing on certain pages or not show). Link page is based on bloglist gadget also. And I have changed mainpage layout with code.
DeleteHi Kristian,
DeleteSorry for the late reply. Can you copy and paste the conditional code that you have is pastebin.com and get back to me with its link?
It's ok, Yoga.
DeleteI'm in pastebin but have no clue what kind of options should have after code. BTW, with explorer site looks horrible.
I keep missing your replies, I'm extremely sorry!
DeleteAlright, let's try this. Upload a copy of your template somewhere so that I can have a look at what you're having. Go to Dashboard - Template - Backup/Restore - Download Full Template - Save the resulting xml file somewhere in your computer. Then go to www.rapidshare.com and upload your xml file there. You will be given a link. Come back to this post and leave your link here.
worked perfectly :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :-)
