This is a common issue for those who are using the JetPack plugin and there is nothing to worry about this, the smiley face is generated by the WP-Stats. I have already faced this issue and yes it was irritating to see that smiley icon on my blog so I Google and found many solutions. I am sharing the best solution which worked for me.
Remove Smiley by editing the CSS file.
Add the following code in the theme’s CSS file
img#wpstats{display:none}
If you don’t want to mess with CSS file Just follow the following steps:-
- Go to the Dashboard.
- Select Jetpack.
- In the first configuration option WordPress.com Stats.
- Click Configure.
- On Smiley Check Hide the stats smiley face image.
- Save Configuration.
