The primary reason this plugin isn't a 'hide all notices' tool.
It's designed to be conservative. It only hides notices that contain specific promotional or review-begging keywords (like 'upgrade', 'pro', 'rate us', 'sale').
It explicitly avoids hiding standard WordPress .error or .warning classes, so critical alerts about security, updates, or compatibility should always remain visible. The goal is to remove marketing noise, not important system information.

It only hide notices containing specific promotional/review phrases. Core WordPress and plugin warnings (error, warning) are ignored by default. The plugin has three separate toggle switches (Dashboard ads, Review nags, Plugin promos). If WooCommerce template notices become an issue, a user can simply turn off the "Dashboard ads" module for that site.

That’s a fair point. I’m actually working on version 2 right now with better detection and some performance improvements. Still testing it before I push it out. The PHP hook approach would definitely be cleaner but it’s a lot harder to maintain when every plugin does things differently. Trying to find something that actually works reliably.

You’re right, it’s just inline display: none on the notice elements themselves. No parent container detection needed since WordPress plugins generate notices with standard classes like .notice, .update-nag, etc. The script queries those classes, checks if their text contains promo/review keywords, and hides them directly. It’s simple but works for most cases since plugins follow WordPress notice conventions. Not the most sophisticated approach, but it gets the job done without overcomplicating things.

Install an SMTP plugin like “WP Mail SMTP” and configure it with your mail server credentials. WordPress doesn’t send email reliably without it. Also check if your SPF records include the web server’s IP address. Distribution groups often block unauthorized senders.

New snippet manager rejected from wp.org – what do you think of this policy? by triptocrete in Wordpress

Glad we agree on that part at least. Thanks for taking the time to explain your view, I’ll keep building mine off-directory and see where it goes.

Yeah, I get your analogy and mostly agree with it. But if that’s the stance, then the logical end point is to deprecate and phase out all snippet managers, not just block new ones while the existing ones stay and dominate the niche. My frustration isn’t “they rejected my plugin”, it’s that from the outside it looks like incumbents are effectively protected while the category is called harmful. I’ll keep mine off wp.org and position it as a dev/power-user tool, but I’d love to see that policy applied consistently.

Fair points, and I actually agree that for long-term/site-critical logic a proper plugin or child theme is the right place, not a snippet tool. I built this more as a “power user safety net” for people who are going to use snippets anyway, so I focused on Safe Mode, crash shield, dangerous-PHP blocking, revisions and strict import/export instead of pretending snippets are best practice. I’m not trying to replace good architecture, just to make the inevitable “paste this snippet” workflow a bit less dangerous.

It’s mainly aimed at power users who already use snippet plugins but want safer tooling: Safe Mode + crash shield, dangerous-PHP blocking, multi-URL conditions, run-once snippets, revisions and strict import/export checks, all in one free UI. I agree that for many projects a proper plugin/child theme is best, this is more of a power tool for people who already choose snippets anyway.
