Welcome to Elgg.
There is no option or button to remove this field.
For this reason, you need to use a custom plugin to alter the view of the add/edit blog form.You can use this skeleton plugin.
We will use override method to alter the views.
Copy this file:
\mod\blog\views\default\forms\blog\save.phpTo this folder:
\mod\my_plugin\views\default\forms\blog\save.phpOpen this file and remove this code:
echo elgg_view('entity/edit/header', [ 'entity' => $blog, 'entity_type' => 'object', 'entity_subtype' => 'blog', ]);Save file and uploud my_plugin folder to /mod directory on your server.Activate this plugin.Note: Recommended to place all custom plugins at the very bottom on the /admin/plugins page.Same way for Pages plugin.File is \mod\pages\views\default\forms\pages\edit.php
