  A while back I was asked if I still wanted the Sidebar to appear every time I Publish a post. That thing on the left that takes up a quarter of the screen and used to tell me it was letting people know, etc. Now it’s just bothersome.

  The only support item here says to do this:

  Dashboard—>Users—>Personal Settings—>Instant Post Feedback—>
  uncheck—> “Show the feedback and progress sidebar after posting “—>Save

  EXCEPT Instant Post Feedback does not show any more on the page.

  Now what?

  Blog is using Chateau Theme and is happyhollyproject.com.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can disable this at https://wordpress.com/settings/account/

  The only support item here says to do this:
  Dashboard—>Users—>Personal Settings—>Instant Post Feedback—>
  uncheck—> “Show the feedback and progress sidebar after posting “—>Save

  Please let me know where you found these instructions so I can update it.

  Thanks for the input!

  The link I found and quoted is at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-do-i-stop-this-sidebar-from-appearing-when-i-publish-a-post?replies=2.

  But there are several others with the same information. I have listed some of them here.

  Sounds like this is one of the least favorite added features. Ever. Although truth be told, I liked it when it said encouraging things and told that it shared with people at various places. But it stopped that, so now it’s pretty useless for someone who has blogged for a while.

  I see. The information in those old threads is outdated. The option to disable the Instant Postback moved to https://wordpress.com/settings/account/ .

  Thank you.
