How to remove Blogger Beta Navbar

I never happened to like the Blogger Navbar at the top of my Blog and I bet all the Bloggers have the same opinion.

Ok... lets waste no more time and get into our work. Lets learn HOW TO REMOVE BLOGGER BETA NAVBAR

  • First, login into your blogger (beta) account and click Template.
  • Now, click on Edit HTML. Wait... look at the code and go to line which says

    /* global
    ----------------------------------------------- */

    Infact, you can add the code anywhere in the stylesheet but I recommend you to do as I said so that you don't screw up the layout.
  • Now add this style anywhere in the stylesheet
    /* Apnerve trick
    more info @: http://www.apnerve.blogspot.com
    ----------------------------------------------- */
    #navbar-iframe{
    display:none !important
    }

  • Save the changes and have a look at your new Blog. You'll find that the Navbar has disappeared

Update:Now there is no need to edit the HTML template as a widget is available to hide the navbar. Check out my latest post "hide navbar widget" for that

I'd recommned you to switch over to the Beta version and you'll soon fall in love with the interface it provides. New features like Labels have been addeed and moreover you can use my hack to get rid of the annoying navbar too.

Hello. This is Vivek from Hyderbad. I am learning html coding (self) and have used some existing hacks to add more value to them and publish it on my blog. Your hack on nav bar is probably the most easy to implement of all that I have seen till now. Nice work! Keep 'em coming and don't forget to check my blog for my works and related hackers of beta template. cheers!

@ prashanth
Thnx. As a matter of fact this hack doesn't work with all the templates. Try my other hack like
iframe{
display:none !important;
}
PS:I haven't tried the new hack. So please report any difficulties if you come across one.

PeteKee said...

Thanks. Works like a charm.

I cannot locate this

/* global
----------- */

But I slip it into somewhere in the front of the html codes.

Great!

@bangsoel
I just asked you to find global so that you don't mess up with the existing styles. Anyway my hack sould work if it is typed in anywhere in the style tag. Anyway... it was nice to hear that you are using my hack. WEll..thnx for visiting this blog of mine.

Praveen-

I like having the NavBar gone - but I also liked the one touch availability it gave in creating a new post.

Is there anyway to add that functionality back in to my blog somewhere (unnoticed by others) so I can still post easily?

Thanks for the hack.

Scott Arnold said...

Thanks to you, for coming by and giving me some support! I've been on "Blogger" for some time, but haven't mustered the courage to write because, well, I don't have the courage!

Yea, I put the "Admin Area" in my sidebar, which is convenenient but it is visiible to all - I can't figure out how to make it "conditional" so that only I see it when logged on. But I like this better than having the NavBar up top - so thanks again for the great "hack".

apnerve,

I think you will find this is a violoation to Google's ToS.

I found an alternative you might want to try...

...I hope this is of use to you.

hi, i'm not dumbboi, but i also am in beta, and you don't just simply switch to beta if you want to.i for one would want to on the first day but blogger for some reasons wouldn't let me switch to beta.

@ chllout lev
migrating to beta is very simple. All you need to do is go to the page http://www.blogger.com/migrate-login.do and follow the instructions. Thats it!

Div said...

Thanks!

I already had a customised template that I'd migrated across from old Blogger.

The first hack didn't work, the second one was perfect i.e.

iframe{
display:none !important;
}

I had the same problem, Div, I tried your solution and... bingo! It works!
Thank you!

For those guys like me who have shifted to blogger beta recently for dynamic server side publishing but has not yet changed the template to the new customized one for fear of losing their template customizations, the given code isn't working.
So I did some sneak-peak of my own and came up with the following hack, which works perfectly:
#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none
}

Hey, thnx "The Weirdo Stalker",

I've recently switched from Blogger to Blogger Beta. I've painstakingly designed the top banner of one of my Blog Vlog
, and disabled the NavBar there. But that hack wasn't working on Beta, which was ruining my banner. And none of the above hacks mentioned above worked. Only your trick paid off. So, lots of thnx. Plz pay a visit to my Vlog.

i couldnt find

/* global
----------------------------------------------- */

however, i tried to place the code somewhere else. it didnt mess it up, but i didnt remove the navbar either. whats wrong?

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

The.Digital.Life said...

ok, i'm obviously doing something wrong. the previous code probably would've worked. between what tags to i place it in. i've tried everything. (sorry, just beginning with editing codes, dont know much)
