Kind regards,

I sincerely hope you just made a twisted joke, and you will reconsider your response and FIX the bug I just mentioned.

@phpexpert21 This is a real problem.

To fix the dashboard notification you can use 3rd party plugin. Please refer the below listed urls-

Theme’s should not hijack a user’s dashboard and a user must not need to install a plugin to fix your theme.

How soon can this be fixed on the version on www.ads-software.com?

There’s one single line that needs to be commented, to solve this, in admin/toolbox-class-about.php in line 128,
add_action( ‘admin_notices’, array( $this, ‘activation_admin_notice’ ) );

Either make this not trigger at all, or make it trigger based on whether it has or has not been triggered already.
On another look, it could be conditioned by the last functionality part of the same file, this one:
/**
* Hide welcome notice when dismissed.
*/
public function hide_notice() {
if (isset($_GET[‘thinkup-hide-notice’]) && isset($_GET[‘_thinkup_notice_nonce’])) {
if (!wp_verify_nonce($_GET[‘_thinkup_notice_nonce’], ‘thinkup_hide_notices_nonce’)) {
wp_die(esc_html__(‘Action failed. Please refresh the page and retry.’, ‘melos’));
}
if (!current_user_can(‘edit_theme_options’)) {
wp_die(esc_html__(‘You do not have the necessary permission to perform this action.’, ‘melos’));
}
$hide_notice = sanitize_text_field($_GET[‘thinkup-hide-notice’]);
update_option(‘thinkup_notice_’ . $hide_notice, 1);
}
}

@jdembowski and @phpexpert21
The Problem mentioned above is still there – 5 months later, eventhough this theme’s last update was just three weeks ago. So I found this support thread and wanted to remind you that this still needs to be fixed. This topic should not been marked as resolved, since this theme’s users still are nagged on the dashboard with this not dismissable notification.
