Hi there

I borrowed some of the CSS code from another blog but have noticed that if I scroll down the blog at the bottom of the grey background in the middle is a smiley. I have scanned the CSS code to try and find it but can’t see it anywhere! Does anyone have any ideas how I can find and remove it? Thanks for your help.

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

hey there!
I think that every Theme has such a smiley ;) I suppose it is something from WordPress? Not sure if it is possible to delete it… I actually find it kind of cute :)
However, I also tried several Themes first, and it shows on all of them (well at least that ones that are free). Sorry that I couldn’t help!
Take care

Haha, how funny. It only seems to be obvious when viewing the blog on a larger screen where a lot of the background is visible.

I guess it’s not that much of a problem…might keep this open for a little longer in case anyone has any more thoughts.

Thanks for your reply.

you are welcome ;) I am curious, too whether there is an “official” answer :) My background is pretty dark, so the smiley is hardly seen :P

You can hide it by adding this in the CSS editor:
```
img#wpstats {
    display: none;
}
```

I wonder why they didn’t hide it by default, or just have a transparent image
