Overview

Warnings and notices can be helpful for developers as they notify them for debugging issues with their code. Though these notices can be sometimes informative, quite often they become frustrating, inconvenient and even spammy; especially since they are a way of promoting the additional services offered by some plugins. The end result is a bloated WordPress Dashboard where you have to spend a lot of time and energy to close all those nags in order to clear your WordPress website’s backend. Hide Dashboard Notifications allows you to easily turn off those nags and notifications & hide plugin updates. It also stores them under the Notifications Tab where you can review them later if you want to.

Helpful Feature Request Response
by Pcosta88·1 month ago

I contacted the plugin author directly about a feature request. The author was prompt in getting back to me about it and agreed it was a good idea. It was then immediately pushed out. The author even provided the code snippet needed to work with the new feature.

Very helpful!

Horrible
by LJ·1 year ago·1 reply

Imagine installing this plugin on a few dozen of your client websites. Then they update the plugin with a flaw that prevents you and any of your clients from logging into the dashboard of all those sites,

So, as a web developer, I must go to the various hosting providers of all those client sites and deactivate the plugin. Then the developer sent an update to the plugin, I reactivated it, and sure enough, they reintroduced the same error into the update.

Once again, I must go to all those different hosting companies and delete the plugin.

Do you think I will trust the next update you send?

Time wasted on my part? Hours. Not hour. HOURS plural.

I think you guys need to find another profession.

Bug: latest update 1.3.4 locks out all users from logging into your own site
by Job van Harn·1 year ago·1 reply

I can’t believe you guys introduced the same bug again that you released when updating to 1.3.1.

Updating to 1.3.1 added an severe bug which resulted in no access to login to your own website. At all!!

We’ve had many clients that where not able to login because /wp-admin/ resulted in an error 403 forbidden or an notice ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’.

So that was fixed in update 1.3.2 and now again the same error is introduced in update 1.3.4.

Such an severe bug that locks out all users (even admins) of their own website. How is it possible that you do not test this before releasing such an update? Come on this is not only careless but damages a lot of companies.

Removed your plugin from 100+ websites.

I would recommend everybody to not install this plugin if you would like to be able to login to your own website.
