I have compiled small template customization guide for Blogger.
When previewing a post, blog layout, or theme customization, the page interactions are limited because Blogger adds a "click trap" element that covers the entire screen. This element only exists in preview mode.
![]() |
| Blogger post preview page. |
Sometimes though, you just want to check how certain elements behave when interacted with ⎯ like playing a video or testing custom HTML in your post.
To allow page interaction in preview mode, add the following CSS:
.blogger-clickTrap{display:none!important}This will hide the invisible element that blocks page interaction.
Post summary is the first part of your post that just before the jump break a.k.a "read more" tag. If the jump break is not present, Blogger will take a certain length of character for the post summary, which in that case, this trick won't work.
The following CSS hides the first paragraph of the post:
.post-body > p:nth-of-type(1) {
display: none;
}
