Great menu, slows down control panel

  • Love the functionality of the menu, but sadly it slows down every page of the control panel by adding an upsell meta box that displays whenever you edit any page / post / custom post type. EVERY TIME. The editing experience is cluttered enough without an upsell message on every single edit-post experience, for admins who don’t even have the ability / desire to upgrade. As far as I can tell they make it impossible to hide those notices too.

    Hey @mmcginnis,

    I’m glad you like the core functionality of the plugin. Regarding the notice once you dismiss it should never appear again, it’s part of the framework we use.

    I’m sorry that ruined the experience of the plugin itself.

    Thanks @takanakui it’s not a notice, it’s the meta box that is inserted in the footer of every Page when you to to Add > Page or you edit a current Post / Page / Custom post type. It can’t be removed by the usual remove_meta_boxes filter due to the way it’s coded, and it adds no value – it’s just a promo to buy the paid version of the plugin.

    Can you do me a favor and paste a link of a screenshot of that metabox because it’s not supposed to exist any metabox? Thanks

    @takanakui Sure thing, here you go. This is at the bottom of any edit screen:

    Thanks @mmcginnis

    That’s definitely ours, I wasn’t reminded of that since they are the only options out of our settings page.

    You are totally right, that’s really annoying and we didn’t thought clearly when we did it.

    I’m preparing an update that will be released by the end of the weekend to remove that upsell and also a new Settings redesign. It will be version 2.8.2

    I hope after that you can check again if it disappeared and if possible change your review ??

    @mmcginnis I just release the 2.8.2 version that removes that metabox. Thanks again for the heads up.
