Mostly, we customize our blog template to get more attention from visitors, like trying out stylish widgets, using different font styles etc. But sometimes we think, how to change the way some components appear on homepage, such as default Post Footer.

Actually, its better to show it only at post pages. Did you land here with that thought in mind? If Yes, then you are in the right place.

  • From the dashboard click on template.
  • Backup your template.
  • Click on Edit HTML button.
  • Now click inside the scroll box and press Ctrl+F. A search field will be displayed at the top right of the scroll box.
  • Enter the following code into the search field and press enter.
]]></b:skin>
  • Now, paste the below code, just below the above code.
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<style type='text/css'>
.post-footer {display:none;}
</style>
</b:if>
  • click Save Template.

Another benefit of this code is, it will also hide the footer from pages, like, Contact Us Page, Privacy Policy Page etc. Which will definitely make your blog more professional.
