Admin spam

  • Why do I keep getting advertisements in my admin area?? Just today I’m seeing … “What does Woody Ad Snippets do?” I don’t care what Woody Ad does! I did not install this plugin on over 30 sites to be spammed at and there’s no feature to turn this off from the dashboard.

    Please fix this!

    Hello.

    You can disable any widget in the console using standard WordPress tools. On the main page of the admin panel on top there is a button Screen Options-there you can disable widgets. https://imgur.com/ev1RUVB

    Okay, but Screen Options doesn’t resolve it from being shown to other admins on the sites. It’s only individual to the current user selecting that option. The admin dashboard should never be used to advertise 3rd party products. Unfortunately, I may have to uninstall this plugin.

    Other administrators can also hide this block.
    Many plugins use the main admin page to display information about themselves and their plugins.

    There are other admins who are also staff and clients. Just because many other plugins use this space for spam doesn’t mean it’s okay. I respectfully request that you use the admin notice feature in WordPress for providing crucial information about your plugins and not as an advertising billboard.

    Disappointed.
