Two Blog Posts Widgets on Blogger Page Element, How to Remove One?

Some time when you are changing your blog templates then a warning message is shown on your Edit Template page. An image of this page is given below. (Click on the image to enlarge it.)

If you click on the Delete Widgets button then there will be no problem in future.

But if you press Keep Widgets then sometime this will cause problem for you like double blog post widgets in your page elements.

Sometime it causes double post on your blog home page and it is very necessary to fix this problem otherwise it also cause some problem in indexing by Google. (i.e. duplicate content). double post widgets look like this.

"Remember to save a copy of the template, before and after doing this"

First step to solve this problem is that login to the blogger. On the dashboard open the Design tab of the effected blog. And after this click on the Edit HTML button. As shown in the figure.

Second step is to find the code given below in HTML code of the template. (you can find this by using Ctrl+f)

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/><b:widget id='Blog2' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

 In some templates code may differ from this HTML code but don’t worry about this. The word which you have to focus is “ Blog1” and “Blog2”. In my template the HTML code was:

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/><b:widget id='Blog2' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

As I highlight in an image blow.

The next step is to remove the HTML code containing “Blog2” in it. And leave the first line as it is. After all of this save your template by clicking on the button given below the HTML code “SAVE TEMPLATE”
