    I would like that answer too! :smiley:

    “…you’ll need to manually remove it.”

    I’ve deleted all WPMU plugins from a client’s site and still have the ad on every admin screen.

    Where specifically is the code so we can manually remove it? I think when I delete a plugin it should remove all its code from my DB so I’m a little concerned.

    Thanks!

    if ( function_exists( 'wdp_un_check' ) ) {
    
remove_action( 'admin_notices', 'wdp_un_check', 5 );
    
remove_action( 'network_admin_notices', 'wdp_un_check', 5 );
    
}
    

    
class WPMUDEV_Update_Notifications {}

    add it to any plugin or theme functions file and activate..

    yes, useful and clear solution. thankyou

    yes, @foodfreindfinder it does make me angry, most wp plugin providers dont make the assumption that its ok for web monkeys to hunt out crud each install, or expect them to install additional unadvertised, unknown, software in order to uninstall it. opt-out marketing? the nag here is loud, all over the admin… why (at least) no one click dismiss button?

    maybe the plugin is fine, other wpdev plugins seem really good, and its trivial to remove it, but it is an extra task to add to a long list on a tired night. a nag screen commercial approach thats invasive and tacky. and so, twisting the karmic wheels; I have further added to workloads by moaning on the forum …

    that functions.php code is good defence for us all.

    it can be a good resource here, but i would appreciate a different approach to info-advertising.

    Nice one shawng I haven’t tried it yet but looks like a good solution.

    silver_darling like I say it’s a minor point but there is always a solution as maybe shawng has offered.

    I guess my point is that if you are using WPMUdev’s plugins that it would be natural to expect a notification on your admin page.

    You had enough time to vent your anger in a post in forums here but but enough time to install the plugin..and then hide it…almost same as hiding all the WordPress info stuff that plasters the admin page when first setup.

    I have lots of plugins that if not setup keep leaving me notifications on my admin page.

    Unfortunately that is life being a Webmaster I guess.

    I try and save my anger for important issues but each of us judge differently what is important or trivial.
