Clearfy Disable Admin Notices 1.3.4

Disable Admin Notices Individually (often referred to by its parent brand Clearfy) is a high-utility WordPress plugin designed to solve "dashboard bloat." It targets the persistent, often un-dismissible banners, update nags, and marketing promotions that clutter the WordPress admin area.

Developed by the Webcraftic / Clearfy team, it is available as both a standalone free plugin and as a modular component of the larger Clearfy Optimization suite.

## Core Decluttering Features

The plugin provides a surgical approach to cleaning your dashboard without hiding critical system errors:

"Hide Forever" Link: Adds a small link to the corner of every admin notice. Clicking it creates a filter that ensures that specific notice never reappears for your account.

Global Notice Disabling: A "nuclear option" in the settings that hides all non-essential admin notices across the entire site with one click.

Update Nag Control: Allows you to hide the "orange circle" update alerts and specific core/plugin/theme update banners.

Notification Center (Pro): Instead of deleting notices, it collects them into a neat "drawer" in the admin bar, allowing you to review them at your convenience.

Hide for All Users (Pro): Enables administrators to hide notices for everyone else (clients, editors) while keeping them visible for themselves.

### Technical Details

The plugin is highly optimized and designed to run only in the admin backend, ensuring it has zero impact on your website's front-end loading speed.

Component

Detail

Availability

Free (on WordPress.org) and Premium versions.

Method

Uses CSS and PHP hooks (admin_notices) to filter out UI elements.

Compatibility

Works with WordPress 6.7+ and supports PHP 8.3+.

Integration

Can be used as a standalone plugin or within the Clearfy optimization kit.

Safety

Intelligently distinguishes between "annoying" promos and "critical" system errors.

## Strategic Use Cases

Why developers and site owners use Clearfy’s notice manager:

Client Site Handoff: Agencies use it to hide "Buy Premium" ads from plugins, giving the client a professional, white-labeled dashboard experience.

Workflow Focus: Developers use it to remove distracting banners that push for reviews or newsletters, allowing for a cleaner coding environment.

Testing Environments: When testing dozens of plugins, notifications can stack up and cover half the screen; this plugin collapses them instantly.

### Clearfy vs. Other Solutions

Clearfy (Individual): Best for Selective Control. It’s the only major plugin that lets you pick and choose exactly which notices to keep and which to kill.

WP Adminify: A full dashboard redesign tool. Choose this if you want to change the entire look of WordPress, not just hide notices.

Code Snippets: You can hide all notices with a simple remove_all_actions('admin_notices') snippet, but this is risky as it might hide critical security or error alerts. Clearfy is much safer for non-developers.

### Pro Tip: Finding Hidden Notices

If you accidentally hide a notice you needed (like a license key prompt), don't panic. You can go to Settings > Hide Admin Notices to see a full list of your "hidden" filters. From there, you can restore individual notices or reset the entire plugin to its default state.
