• Works well but annoying advert in admin widgets areas about a widget tuneup.
    2 star because of this.

    I got rid of this Ad by adding the following code to my functions file:
    remove_action( ‘cs_init’, array( ‘CustomSidebarsCheckupNotification’, ‘instance’ ) );

  • Hey @responsiveuk,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Let me explain why there is an ad. The plugin description gives information about that. Because of Pro version and Free version has same functionality without any restriction we put ads;

    If you run a design agency, or just want to get rid of the ads, checkout Custom Sidebars Pro.

    Cheers,

    In your theme’s functions.php? That probably could go into a custom small plugin.

    
    remove_action( ‘cs_init’, array( ‘CustomSidebarsCheckupNotification’, ‘instance’ ) );

    *Looks and installs plugin on test site*

    OK, that may be a problem. The dashboard can be used to notices but that really needs to be dismisable (which spellcheck tells me isn’t really a word but you know what I mean).

    See item 11 here.

    Yes, that’s all in the Custom Sidebar (and aside from that, it looks neat) but I think that should be dismissible in the plugin. Not just via a remove_action(). Though it’s very cool that that action exists though and shows great design by WPMU.

    Hey @responsiveuk,

    First of all thank you for taking time to write a review and rate Custom Sidebars, regardless of the rating we really appreciate it and also appreciate feedback that you’ve provided ??

    With that said I’d like to comment on the ad placement and say that this was run with the plugin review team before, and given that our plugin doesn’t have an admin panel of its own the ad is appropriately placed.

    As both you and Jan mentioned we’ve still made room for you to remove it via that remove_action() in case you really dislike it and don’t want it in your admin panel.

    We’re always open to suggestions so we’ll consider changing this in the future.

    Thanks again for the feedback @responsiveuk and thanks @jdembowski for jumping in to help ??

    Cheers,
    Bojan
