Great plugin, just get rid of the popups

Short version:

To make that clear also for other people readings this: This plugins not creates any popups, nowhere never ever, promise! This message on the admin is by no definition a Popup!

You claim its a begging message for donations fact its a sort of reminder that you can give something back if you like, no begging. Its asking for Code improvements, testing, and translations before suggesting a donation and is carefully phrased to not sound like begging.

You say the message is not responsive, but I cant confirm this. And have basically no devices to test on so I am dependent on user input. On my desktop its even displayed right on 240px width it uses WordPress default classes and its hard to believe that this is really failing on the phone …

If this would come as a proper bug report I would say I am sorry that you cant close it on your phone. But seriously you are to lazy to open it the dashboard on a laptop/PC/Tablet to close this message once? And you need to punish me with a negative review because of this?

You are rude, ungrateful and stupid! I am sorry for every hard working person who need to deal with people like you.

The long version.

Huh? What popups? Maybe check other plugins first!

Chris, he means the message that like the one on the top of the options page I sometimes show it globally on the admin dashboard.

Since I was criticized once before for showing this to all users I rethought my possibly flawed concept of it. I now made it less intrusive and show it only once to admins after the plugin was activated a week ago or longer instead right away.

Still wondering about if there might be truth in the claim that its not responsive on some devices.

If someone likes to help testing it for responsiveness on phones or is just curious how this message actually looks and behaves please add this inside your function.php or mu-plugin. You just need to run load any page on your site once and after then you can delete the code.

add_action( 'init', 'arve_test_admin_message' );

function arve_test_admin_message() {

	global $current_user;
	$user_id = $current_user->ID;
	delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'arve_ignore_admin_notice' );

	update_option('arve_install_date', strtotime('22-09-2008') );
}

Technically this sets the activation date to a long time ago and tells WordPress the ‘dismiss’ in my message was never clicked. This should force the message, even after dismiss click until you delete the code.

There’s always one, though this one is rather special…
