How to Disable the Blogger Light Box

Disable Blogger Light BoxAs of now there is no Official Method to Override the Lightbox, and it is enabled on all of the Blogger Blogs. If you don’t like the Light Box, and want to remove it from your Blog, then read on:

Update:

Blogger has now added an option to disable the Light Box. The feature is enabled by default. You can turn it Off from Settings > Posts and Comments. You just have to set “Open images in Lightbox” option to “No

Now Click on the “Save Settings” Button

Update: Blogger has Rolled back the Light Box Feature. So there is no point in reading further.

Go to Template > Edit HTML and paste the following Code Snippet above </body>

<script type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('Blog1').id = 'Blog222';
var bp_dummy = document.createElement("div");
bp_dummy.id = 'Blog1';
bp_dummy.style.display='none';
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild( bp_dummy );
</script>

In this Code, Blog1 is the id of your Blog Posts Widget.

Save The Template, and LightBox wont be bothering you anymore :) I use the same technique here on my Blog :)

  3. @Anonymous -it would be Blog1 by default unless you mess around with Widgets :)
    <b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

    This line will give you an idea of what your Blog Post Widget's ID is.

  10. I never knew that things can be changed in blogger. I thought wordpress is much more flexible than blogger in terms of managing your things

  14. I've been visiting for what feels like hours. What a GREAT resource. I must now comment because I've been trying to figure how to get rid of that monstrosity for a while. I would never have imagined it was called a light box and certainly never have figured out how to get rid of it because I haven't made the switch yet. Thank YOU!!!
