To disable Magazine Style from Blogger Templates

If you have installed third party templates in your blog, you must have realized that many of them come with an automatic post summary snippets and read more links.


This is good provided your posts contain combination of both images and words. Otherwise things appear little unprofessional. Let us say many of your posts don't contain thumbnails, then it would be much better if we remove automatic post summaries and read more/continue reading links from your current template.

So let us remove them and give your blog a professional touch. Follow the given steps: 

Login to your blog>Click on Template>Click on Edit HTML>Find the following HTML codes embedded:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</script>
</b:if>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if>

To trace above code easily, it will be better you find 'createSummaryAndThumb' first and then only find the codes related to it. 

Once you have found it, replace above (whole) code with : <data:post.body/> and click Save Template. 

You can view the blog. The post summary must have been removed. But links like Read More or in some cases Continue Reading will appear still. To remove this too, you have to remove the given code from your template:

<a class='readmorepbt' expr:href='data:post.url'>Read More</a>

But again Read More link may vary from templates to template. Remove that is appearing in your current template. Once you have completed all, Save Template and view your blog. Hope it's being removed. Now your blog may appear beautifully professional. Cheers!
