Please disable notifications to non-admin users

Hi @jh20001, sorry for the annoyance. Yes if users aren’t aware they’re using 3rd party software like YARPP, then I could see how it would be alarming getting a notification like that.
For the record, YARPP doesn’t ask for a donation to use the software (but yes there are others that do). YARPP does, however, request a review from users we thought would be aware they’re using it: users who publish posts. (If a user can’t publish posts and they see the request for review it’s a bug we need to fix.) Your advocacy that it should only be shown to admin users is noted, though.
For a quickfix, you can use this code snippet to permanently disable YARPP’s request-for-review notification.

add_action(
    'admin_init',
    function(){
        remove_all_filters('shareaholic_deactivate_feedback_form_plugins');
    },
    11
);

See the FAQ.

Thank you. I have shared it with the others in our admin group. Yesterday, in fact, we were just talking about this. I was traveling so I didn’t see this post. However, we had agreed to install, yet another (pun intended), plugin that disables all notifications to just admin/author users. This (so far) has prevented contributor or subscriber users from seeing any notifications.

Our ultimate decision to install the other plugin was finalized by our concern over security and the “need to know” information about what is running behind the scenes that only our closest members need to be aware of. In case there are unknown issues that haven’t been patched yet in certain plugins.

Hi @jh20001

From our FAQs, to disable the YARPP Review Notice programmatically:

/**
 * Disable YARPP Review Notice
 *
 */
function yarpp_disable_review_notice() {
  remove_action('admin_notices', array('YARPP_Admin', 'display_review_notice'));
}
add_action('admin_init', 'yarpp_disable_review_notice', 11);

ps. the code snippet @mnelson4 referred to above is the one to disable the uninstall feedback prompt.

I just now noticed that looking back at the code. I’ve updated my notice to our team so they know not to use the old one.

Thanks @jeffparker yes you provided the right code snippet. @jh20001 please re-open this thread if that doesn’t meet your needs.

And thank you for the feedback.
