How to remove label number count in Blogger

If you have read my previous post about deleting or hiding the number of posts shown in Blogger archive, here you might also want to know how to remove the number of posts shown from your blog label in your sidebar. For some, hiding all label counts from their Blogger blog can be a very good idea especially for those who are new to blogging or have a limited number of posts. Even so many old bloggers with hundred of their posts assigned to each label choose to remove the label counts because they think it is no use of showing all of those things and removing label number counts will give them a cleaner and professional look of a blog.

If you are interested of removing it also, you can follow these steps:

  • Sign in to your Blogger account.
  • On your Blogger dashboard click Layout >> Page Elements tab.
  • See if you have a label widget ( a widget to show all your labels) there, if you do not have then activate it by clicking on Add a Gadget > select Labels and click SAVE.
  • Next, click Edit HTML and tick Expand Widget Templates box.
  • Remember, it is always a good idea to create a back up copy of your template before you start making any changes for your template.
  • Press Ctrl + F on your keyboard to find this code:

    <b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
  • After you have found it, scroll down a bit to find the following piece of code and delete it:

    (<data:label.count/>)
  • Click SAVE TEMPLATE and done!

There will be no more post count after each label in your list.
