To remove the default Blogger navigation bar (the black bar at the top with "Blogger" logo, search box, and sign-in options), follow these methods:
Method 1: Official Blogger Setting (Easiest)
Go to your Blogger Dashboard → Theme
Click "Edit HTML"
Press
Ctrl + F(orCmd + Fon Mac) and search for:<b:section id='navbar'/>Delete this entire line and save the template.
Method 2: Using CSS (Works for Most Templates)
Go to Theme → Edit HTML
Find
</head>and add this code just before it:<style> /* Remove Blogger Navbar */ #navbar-iframe, .navbar, .navbar-iframe-container { display: none !important; height: 0 !important; visibility: hidden !important; } </style>
Save the template.
Method 3: JavaScript Removal (Alternative)
In Theme → Edit HTML, find
</body>and add this before it:<script> // Remove Blogger Navbar document.getElementById('navbar-iframe')?.remove(); </script>
Method 4: For Mobile View
If the navbar still appears on mobile:
Add this extra CSS:
.mobile-navbar { display: none !important; }
Important Notes:
✅ Works for all templates (Simple, Contempo, Notable, etc.)
✅ Does not affect SEO (Google ignores the navbar)
❌ AdSense users: Some older blogs needed the navbar for AdSense compliance (not required anymore).
Before & After:
| Before (Navbar Visible) | After (Navbar Removed) |
|---|---|
![]() | ![]() |
Troubleshooting
If the navbar reappears:
Clear your browser cache (
Ctrl + Shift + Delete).Check if your template has a custom navbar (some premium templates add their own).
