    Hi,

    use this hook to remove it:

    Dear Benjamin,

    Are you planning to add an option to allow users to hide the beacon?

    Thank you.
    Best Regards

    Thank you for the tip, @rainbowgeek

    I agree with @iapprentice that having an option to hide the beacon would be great. Not everyone wants floating elements over content when viewing their sites as admin, and you surely understand that if too many plugins put that in, a window can get crowded.

    An option is coming in our next minor update.
    It will appear under SEO, Advanced, Appearance tab.
    ETA: this day!

    Thank you. I came here for the same.

    I think it’s a great thing to have. Particularly during development, but a surprise to clients with an admin role and a support question to us.

    It can be awkward as it remains in the page builder editor. Still I love the idea.

    It seems to me that the new option doesn’t work yet. Checking it didn’t work. I had to reinstate the filter to make the beacon disappear, even after the plugin update.

    Man! You almost lost me as a user when I saw that stupid balloon floating around the pages on my site! You cost me over 2 hours to figure out where it came from and how to fix it. I tried that hook and it worked, but then I found your advice on how you actually fixed it so it can turn off! Perhaps when you add these features that alter the look and feel of a site you should make them default OFF????
    Stupid “beacons.” What is your reason for adding this and even having a beacon? Please explain?

    By the way, I want to use this thread to thank @rainbowgeek for the great plugin. All the SEO functions you can look for, without the bloat and spam that come with Yoast.

    Perhaps you could offer a donation link on your site for those who don’t need the Pro features, so people like me can support you a little ??

    @rainbowgeek, thank you for including an option to hide the beacon.

    @mmunger thank you! We don’t have a donation link (in fact there is one here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-seopress/ on the right sidebar but it points to our website). The best way to help us is to buy the PRO license OR write a 5 star reviews (https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/wp-seopress/reviews/) ??
