Plugin alerts, theme warnings, update messages, and promotional notices often take up valuable space and disrupt your workflow. **Disable Admin Notices** gives you full control by letting you hide, remove, or disable admin notices across the entire dashboard. You can hide all notifications, disable selected notices only, or move everything into a clean compact bar so messages no longer clutter your admin screen. The plugin also lets you **disable plugin and theme update notifications**, **disable WordPress core update alerts**, manage which items appear in the admin bar, and even block redirect URLs used by some plugins to show ads or promotional pages. Whether you want a cleaner dashboard, fewer interruptions, or complete control over WordPress admin notifications, this plugin helps you keep your workspace organized and distraction-free. ### Key Features **Disable Admin Notices** – Disable admin notices globally or hide selected notifications only – Hide dashboard notices and show them in a single compact line – Option to display all admin notifications in the WordPress admin bar – Disable plugin update notifications – Disable WordPress core update notifications – Access all hidden notices anytime from the plugin dashboard – Reset or restore hidden notices at any time **Disable Admin Bar Items** – Choose which items appear in the WordPress admin bar – Hide or remove unnecessary plugin, theme, or tool menu items to reduce clutter **Block Ad Redirects** – Block specific redirect URLs to prevent plugins from sending you to ads or promotional screens – Avoid unexpected admin redirects when activating or updating plugins ### Support We’re here to help.

No. Hiding or disabling admin notices does not affect how plugins or themes function. It only removes or moves the visual notifications they display in the dashboard. ### A notice I hid is gone, but I need it back. How do I restore hidden notices? You can restore any hidden notice at any time. Go to **Settings Hide admin notices Hidden Notices**, where you’ll find a list of all notices you have hidden. From there, you can restore individual notices. ### Will disabling admin notices hide important error messages? No. The plugin only affects standard admin notices and update notifications. Actual error messages and critical WordPress warnings are still shown as normal. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7361d1340007537f6c441e5be20c41911382de9b2d55ef47bd7e8daaa46ffec1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works perfectly, ignore 1 star reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-ignore-1-star-reviews/)󠁿 [Christian Saborio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christian-saborio/) March 10, 2026 1 reply The free version does what it says…i was amazed on easy it was to configure…the feature to remove things individually helps to make sure you don’t nuke notices that are important for your users – love it! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38300393128c3e098406b6fc08759de3ae691c56244734590eeeba2a6fc67e9a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Anti Spam Software spams you](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/anti-spam-software-spams-you/)󠁿 [texofant](https://profiles.wordpress.org/texofant/) December 7, 2025 1 reply Are you kidding me??I installed this plugin to get rid of stupid advertising in my admin panel, and now THIS PLUGIN SPAMS ME WITH ADVERTISING?? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/459be03314a2e85a38f63afb72415dda82ed0f3068706afda1fa21d312ca4a1e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Adds more notices than it removes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adds-more-notices-than-it-removes/)󠁿 [svijany](https://profiles.wordpress.org/svijany/) November 23, 2025 1 reply This plugin adds random ‘recommendation’ notices throughout the admin area of the site along with a panel in the dashboard.

This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.” ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6c8f103da967b67c11c1d90aae6d94197a71607261bb0a8e945ba162876d3cb1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Do not purchase](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-purchase-10/)󠁿 [nmavra](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nmavra/) July 8, 2025 Nobody cares and nobody supports this, not even if you have purchased the pro license.
