Remove Blogger Labels Counter or Turn On Counter in a Blogspot Blog

Until recently the only way to turn off, disable or remove the counter of the labels widget in Blogger was to use a Blogger hack. Luckily Blogger has now added a new feature so that Blogspot bloggers have a choice about whether to show or not show a post count next to the corresponding tag when using the Blogger labels widget.

How to Turn Off  / Remove / Delete the Blogger Labels Counter?

If you already have a Blogger labels widget installed and you are using an older template then Blogger shows a count of the number of posts with that label or tag next to each label by default. If you want to turn off the label counter you will need to disable it.

Removing the Blogger labels counter is easy and only takes a minute. Switching off the labels counter can be useful sometimes for instance when establishing a new blog where a limited number of posts may deter visitors. Fortunately Blogger has listened to users and now installs a new blog with the Labels Counter turned off.

Conversely you may find that your Blogger label counter has been disabled and you want to reinstate it. In this case you would navigate to Blogger and follow these steps except that you would reverse Step 4.

1. Log in to Blogger
2. At the Dashboard go to Layout Menu
3. In the Blogger sidebar click on the pencil or click the edit link to edit your Labels Gadget
4. Use the toggle button to switch between on (blue-green) and off positions (white) in the Show Number of Posts Per Label heading.
5. Click on Save
6. View your Blogger blog without the number of posts shown next to the labels tag
