Disable dashboard notification

    Is there a way – other than directly editing the plugin – to disable the alert:

    “Emails Disabled: The Stop Emails plugin is currently active, which will prevent any emails from being sent. To send emails, disable the plugin.”

    It both appears on every screen, AND shows up as a red icon next to the Plugins or Update. This is undesirable for clients who do not want to see something like that.

    Thanks!

    Hi @yonisink,

    Currently, there is no way to disable the “Emails Disabled” alert.

    I’ve always thought of this as a plugin to be used during development or troubleshooting rather than a permanent solution. Stopping emails is a pretty drastic measure and has some pretty important implications (for example you can’t recover you password via email with emails turned off).

    Because of all of this, I feel rather strongly about not providing a way to remove the “Emails Disabled” alert however I’m certainly open to hearing your thoughts on the topic.

    Thanks.

    Hi Sal
    I actually really agree with you, but due to circumstances with a client this is something that was installed by a previous tech, etc. I can hide it with CSS (or modify the plugin) but was hoping for a filter. The use case is here that it has to stay installed for now, but the alert is, well, annoying and troubling for the regular user.
    Thanks.

    Hi @yonisink,

    I appreciate you sharing your personal experience and I understand that a filter would be helpful in your situation. Unfortunately, I do still feel that adding this filter would not in the best interest of this project.

    While I understand that if the filter were added you would be using it in a responsible manner, I am concerned about the problems it could easily cause when others use it less responsibly.

    I suspect your best option is to hide the notice via CSS. If for some reason, that does not work you could modify the source code. Generally, updates for this project are rare and if an update did occur, the plugin would still function properly (but the notice would return).
