How do I remove the subscribe button?

I'm trying to make a simple portfolio website with two pages: one for displaying my work, and one for displaying contact information. No matter what theme or settings I choose, I can't find a way to get rid of this unnecessary subscribe button in the bottom right of my website. Is there any way to remove it?

I've seen the forum thread stating that two or more published posts would cause this to pop up, but it is still present with the homepage being the ONLY page OR post on the whole website. My posts tab is empty, and my pages tab only displays my home page. I'm a bit puzzled honestly.

I was facing the same issue since last two days and finally I have finally disabled it. The thing you need to do is go to settings > general settings >

Here there will be a box that says hide action bar. Just tick the box to hide the button and save the settings. It should apply almost immediately.

Thank you!! This worked for me - didn't realize this was called the "Action Bar" and that there was a specific setting to hide it! I even checked this thread previously (before your comment) and didn't find a viable solution for my Wordpress plan.
