“Hide Admin Notices” is having issues

@scarlywebs thanks for reporting. To your points:

1. Could be. Might be a CSS issue. As notices are moved inside the toggleable panel, the display behaviour changes as the HTML/CSS structure changes as well.
2. Related to point No. 1.
3. Noted.
4. What do you mean by “dropdown shadows”?

Additionally, when you turn off “Hide Admin Notices” can you do another screenshot that shows all the notices in their usual location? Additionally, aside from WooCommerce, what other plugins are responsible for those notices? I’ll need that info to replicate things on my end and attempt a fix.

Hey Bowo, as for the CSS could be a conflict with the CSS styles I did so will check that and let you know. As for the shadows i mean the shadows that appear when you open the “Admin notices” window. I have attached screenshot below.

And for the other notices, didn’t pay too much attention to see if it was effecting the other ones or not. I know the update notices appear just fine, but when I close the “close” button it doesn’t update the notices number on top.

I will pay attention more to the notice information on my side and let you know what’s happening with different notices.

@scarlywebs noted about the shadow. I can see how some users may not like that.

As for the counter, they’re currently not automatically updated when you close notices. One reason is because I didn’t think it was of high importance to implement, because my primary goal with this module is to clean up admin pages. The other reason is because there are currently no standardized way that plugins can implement notices AFAIK, so, it’s a bit challenging to consistently detect close button clicks needed to update the counter in realtime. But I could be wrong, and will see if I can remedy that in a future release.

By the way, in you first screenshot, the ‘refresh’ icon showing ‘1’ is the updates notification from core WP. It means either one of your theme(s), plugin(s) or the core WP itself has an update. It has nothing to do with Hide Admin Notices.

Hey Bowo, thanks for the update. I looked around and checked my code and even removed any CSS styling to see if it was my doing but it still continues having issues, as seen in the screenshot below.

There is one plugin that always works for me and doesn’t have this issue that maybe you want to look into, its called: Hide Admin Notices

@scarlywebs when you disable Hide Admin Notices, can you send another screenshot of the notices you see on screen? I wonder what the missing 2 notices are…

@qriouslad not sure what the 2 notices are, after I disabled the “Hide Admin Notices” my dashboard only showed 4 but my plugin page showed 5 of them. I tried looking at different areas in the menu like settings, appearance, etc. but couldn’t find any extra notices anywhere. Below are the screenshots with and without “Hide Admin notices”.

@scarlywebs thank you for sending the screenshots… though the mystery remains. One possible explanation is that you’re using some admin-only CSS that hides certain annoying notices… you know, the type that can’t be dismissed, or even if dismissed once, it keeps showing up again and again. I know I did that with display: none; . That would keep the notice <div> on page, but hidden. Hide Admin Notices will still count that <div>, so, what you may have are two invisible <div>s being counted. Would that explain it?

Probably, wouldn’t know how to find it or go about it though. All my CSS styling i am doing shouldn’t effect the notices, but will see if maybe one the plugins might be causing CSS issues. If it does that will suck, will be annoying going through all of these plugins lol.

@scarlywebs in your screenshot, I see you’re also using another plugin for hiding notices, and there are two options presented for each notice: Keep hidden | Hide all notices. My guess is, you’ve clicked on “Keep hidden” on a couple of notices so these two notices essentially become the hidden <div> I mention above, still being handled by Hide Admin Notices module and accounted for. Try going to your browser inspector, and look if you can spot those two hidden <div>s within the notice panel. If you find them, then that’s your answer. You simply need to find a way to ‘unhide’ them via the other plugin you have.

Hey @qriouslad thanks for getting back to me, sorry for the late reply been busy. I eventually found the hidden DIVS you mentioned and it was 1 of my plugins. After I disabled that plugin the notification for that disappeared lol.

So now that is resolved, I got a few questions. Would it be possible to add extra settings for the notification? For instance, the other plugin offers which notices can be seen and to whom the notices can be shown.

The example below is what I think would be good options to add to the notification center.

Also, would you be able to add the button to remove the shadows? I really don’t like it.

@scarlywebs glad to hear the issue has been resolved.

Which plugin did you use that has that user role settings?

And what do you mean by ‘shadows’?

The Notice plugin i use is the “Hide admin notices” plugin. Can see it here> https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-admin-notification-center/

As for the shadows, when you open the notice center its gets black in the background and i don’t like it.

@qriouslad

@scarlywebs got it. Noted for now. Thanks for clarifying.
