What It Does

Do you know the situation, when some plugin offers you to update to premium, to collect technical data and shows many annoying notices? You are close these notices every now and again but they newly appears and interfere your work with WordPress. Even worse, some plugin’s authors delete “close” button from notices and they shows in your admin panel forever.

Our team was tired of this, and we developed a small plugin that solves problems with annoying notices. With this plugin, you can turn off notices forever individually for themes, plugins and the WordPress itself.

The Hide admin notices plugin adds “Hide notification forever” link for each admin notice. Click this link and plugin will filter this notice and you will never see it. This method will help you to disable only annoying notices from plugins and themes, but important error notifications will continue to work.

In addition, you can disable all notices globally simply change plugin options. In this case, the plugin hides all admin notices, except of updates notices in the list of installed plug-ins.

You can hide the notice for other users who have access to the admin panel, while displaying this notice for yourself. This is a multisite feature. Also, you can see which notices are shown with a special item in the top admin bar that collects all notices in one place.

We have added a Hidden Notices page so that the site administrator can view the entire list of hidden notes and restore some of them, if necessary. Compact panel feature displays a compact panel instead of notices in the admin panel, taking up little space. This way, you won’t miss anything, all notes will be available in one click.

This plugin also includes premium features to block ad redirects and hide admin bar items. You can disable plugin and core update nags as well.
