Nag Me Not!
Important: The early bird price of $19.99 one-off will be kept until the 31st Dec.
Are you fed up with WordPress dashboard upgrade / cross-sell notices cluttering up your dashboard? Nag me not will do its best to remove them all, with just a couple of clicks.
Look for the “eye-con” on the top menu to select either “Normal” or “Extreme” filtering modes. It’ll refresh the page and ta da notices will be gone. In Extreme mode the red dot counters will be removed as well for a distraction free experience.
Just remember to turn it off occasionally after key plugin / theme updates, before quickly enabling it again to save your eyes.
New for V1.1: “Custom” mode, where you can add your own CSS selectors and set their mode.
Chrome extension is coming in 2025: I have plans for a sister Chrome extension, which will need to catch up with the new customisation options included in the WordPress plugin. It will come at some point but will be a little delayed to ensure its worthwhile.
Unscripted Demo Video on a production site
Would you like to see Nag Me Not in action? In this 2 minute quick look you can see how much screen space it can save you when navigating around a clients admin area. The best part with Nag Me Not is that it works for all users once enabled, so your clients won’t have to suffer with an unusable dashboard when they pop in to make quick edits.
Blooper: As it was an unscripted recording of V1.1 there is a minor issue when swapping a value between modes without refreshing the page inbetween. Had I changed something from Extreme to Normal mode, then refreshed the page it would work, as shown when I tried the same further down the list.
I have a notice that hasn't been blocked, what should I do?
Nag Me Not! filters out a lot of common notice types, but there is always room for improvement when plugins don’t follow the normal methods.
If you have a notice that hasn’t yet been blocked you can now add its CSS selector via the Settings > Nag Me Not screen. If the notice has an # ID that is unique then add that as a “Custom” value to block it.
You can also swap any value between modes, from Normal to Extreme, or custom, with any combination to suit your requirements. You can also activate / deactivate rules while testing the perfect combination out.
Export / Import CSV files: Many web designers have a common plugin stack they use on multiple sites. Save time with the basic set up by exporting from one site and importing on your other sites. Each site can then be tweaked to suit your clients requirements, or their likelihood of raising time sapping support tickets.
How to block even more pesky notices
In this video I show an example of a custom notice that has so far evaded removal. Inspect the page and find the full CSS ID or class for the notice that hasn’t been blocked. Pop it into the Nag Me Not settings screen and the mode you’d like, then add it. When the page next refreshes the additional notice will be gone.
You can deactivate / activate any rule for troubleshooting or delete any that are no longer required.
