How to Remove Labels

To remove a label is simple. All you have to do is to edit all the posts that contain the label you want to remove, remove the label from the "Labels for this post:" at the bottom of the post and publish. When you are done, the label will be removed from your Label List.

To edit more than 1 post at the same time, refer to Remove labels the easy way via Label Action in Dashboard

Note: The easiest way to edit all the post with a particular label is to, first sign into blogger.com (Dashboard), go the the blog where you want ot remove the label, click on the label in the Label List, which will then display all the posts with that label in the same page, Click the quick edit pencil icon and you will get into the post editor window of that post. At the bottom of the post editor will be a box with all the labels tied to that post. just delete the label you no longer want. Repeat this with all the other posts that have the label you want to remove and when you have finished, the label should be gone.

If you don't see a quick edit pencil icon at the bottom of the posts, you have not enabled quick editing for that blog (this should already be enabled by default if you have not changed this setting, but it is hard to say). Click the SETTINGS tab, and by default, you will straight away be in the BASIC sub-tab. Look for "Add your Blog to our listings?" which should be the third settings, click the down arrow in the menu bar (box) to the left and select YES. At the bottom, click SAVE SETTINGS.

Add label list to blog

If you are using an old classic blogger template, you will have the new Label (category of tag) feature in the New Blogger, but you will not be able to add a Label List in the Sidebar. The labels will only appear at the bottom of the post. If you want to have a Label List in the sidebar like those using the New Blogger template, you will have to add it manually.

For example, you will find the label "support us" at the bottom of the post How you can help Blogger Tips and Tricks (click BACK button to get back to this page or right-click and select "open in new tab):



In this case, you see only one label, but it could have been more if you had wanted to add more when you publish or edit your post. You just add more labels, separated by commas.

For example, at the bottom of the post Convert your eBooks into PDF files and sell them (click BACK button to get back to this page or right-click and select "open in new tab), you will see 2 labels at the bottom of the post:



Supposed I want a Label (category or tag) list in the sidebar of a blog using the old classic template. What I need to do is to click on one of the labels at the bottom of the post (or right-click and select "copy link location (Firefox) or "copy shortcut" (Internet Explorer and Flock) to copy URL into clipboard) and you will be taken to the page where all the posts having that label will be displayed. Copy the URL from the address bar at the top of the browser.

Then go into your template editor (use Add content via the template) as a guide to add this in a suitable position in the classic template:

Labels (Categories or tags)

• Name or label

Of course if you have more than one labels, you will have to do the above more than once (but only once for each individual label). If you have many labels, which is more likely, the HTML you add may be something like this:

Labels (Categories or tags)

• Name of Label 1


• Name of Label 2


• name of Label 3


• Name of Label 4
