If your WordPress blog is hosted on Worpress.com server, you should know that one of its biggest features is its free Automattic Stats plugin, which gives you useful information about people visiting your blog. Anyway, the most unpleasant feature of this plugin is the world-famous smiley face (icon) which sometimes drives bloggers crazy while trying to disable it. So, let’s see how we can disable, delete and erase that little stupid face from your nice blog.

To get rid of the little smile face it is just sufficient to add this piece of code in your style.css located in your theme’s folder:

img#wpstats{width:0px;height:0px;overflow:hidden}

Alternatively you can also add this other javascript code in the the WordPress footer.php right after wp_footer() declaration:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var e = document.getElementById(”wpstats”);
e.style.width = “0px”;
e.style.height= “0px”;
e.style.overflow = “hidden”;
</script>
