    Hi the two options given in the admin area:

    1) Hide plugins and other updates
    2) Hide notices, warning messages

    seem to be the wrong way round?

    If I select option 1, notices are hidden
    If I select option 2, plugin update messages are hidden.

    Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

    @hk1993 I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/guidelines/#the-bad-stuff

    Also, please read this article on the nuances of such a request.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

    If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

    Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us escalating this to the plugins team.

    It’s never necessary to do that. Here’s why.

    There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.

    You get the idea.

    Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.

    @dgilfillan are you still experiencing this issue?

    there has been no updates so yes.

    Thanks for your fast response @dgilfillan

    Please check out this screencast:

    Once the “Hide notices, warning messages” option is enabled then the notification foes away as expected.

    seems to work now – thanks!

    That’s great @dgilfillan :).

    I will now mark this topic as resolved.
