We'll create fresh WordPress site with WordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
The WordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover quickly removes the smiley face that WordPress.com Stats (https://wordpress.org/extend/downloads/stats/) places in the footer of your web pages.
The #9786; (smiley face) character is created by WordPress.com Stats when activated which can throw a number of designs off. The WordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover uses W3C compliant CSS code to remove the character from users screens.
