• bestwebsoft.com – creators of various WP plugins, claim their BWS Panel cannot be removed once installed.

    I installed BWS Contact Form plugin. Seemed to work OK, although the plugin admin page text layout is corrupted and very difficult to read.

    Then I noticed a new WP admin area link, “BWS Panel”. which appears to display many BWS plugins that can be installed. It does nothing to enhance the WP admin area.

    It is simply a massive advert for their plugins.

    BWS support claims that it cannot be removed.

  • I have same problem and want to remove that advertising panel ie. BWS panel.So as you said it cannot be removed i taken it as a challenge i found two solutions to remove it.

    1) Using CSS : You can hide this panel’s menu from you admin menus using this function in your plug-in(I have hidden it for users rather than super admin.

    add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_aws_menu');
    function remove_aws_menu(){
        if(is_super_admin())
        return ;
        ?>
        <style type="text/css">
    	#toplevel_page_bws_panel{display:none;}
        </style>
        <?php
    }

    2) Custom Plugin : BWS plugin have an function named as 'bws_general_menu' in deprecated.php file which adds this menus and remove_menu_page() function cannot remove it.So in your custom plugin create a same function so bws menu function will not execute and menus will not be added,instead you function will be executed where you can return anything you want.

    Here is a function with same name as BWS.

    function bws_general_menu(){
       return;
    }
