Site Health – Allow us to disable it or check it off

    Can you *please* integrate a way for us to STOP or disable the site health thing?

    Alternately, like some other plugins do, allow us to “mark as resolved” or “dismiss” the warnings?

    It is SUPER annoying. It flags me… and when I look at it, they are COMPLETELY irrelevant *OR* what I have PERSONALLY chosen to leave something as is.

    Example: It says I have caching turned off, although my site is working great, I need to enable it. No, no I don’t. I don’t WANT caching for a variety of reasons… and I should be able to dismiss it.

    Also gives some sort of “Loopback request” not working error… I have zero clue why it matters or how to fix it, the system doesn’t supply anything useful, just gives the warning.

    “Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability. The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 400, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.”

    So maybe actually tell people how to fix it? (Not that I care).

    Again, dismissing it would be a better alternative. i.e., we see a warning, we click “dismiss” if it is something we don’t want resolved.

    I’ve seen them with imagemagik not being installed either that “wordpress requires” supposedly… why do I have to? Not everything needs it, so why do I have to do it?

    Please let us dismiss stuff!

    As is often the case, there’s a plugin for that. ??

    Thanks…. I really wish that we could do these things WITHOUT adding yet another plugin…. ?? That’s why I suggested it. (The more plugins, the more possibilities of things breaking right?)

    What plugins can do, you could also solve yourself with individual programming. Then you are not dependent on other plugins but can rely entirely on yourself.

    Site Health is a good tool for most users to see the status of their own website. It also helps with analyzing problems. What seems pointless to you is essential for others to keep projects alive. I understand your concern, but you are quite alone with it. But you are welcome to submit it to the core developers here: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/newticket so that they can also evaluate your request. To be honest, I see little chance of that happening.

    @threadi Well, when you do a google search, there are actually tons of people who can’t stand it… so to claim that I am “alone” in this… you obviously haven’t searched it out. (Even in this community, there are people who are complaining, I won’t go into those reasons, search for yourself).

    And if you read my post, I’m not at ALL saying NOT to have it. I totally recognize it’s useful in some ways. I’m just saying, it would be great to have the ability to turn OFF some checks if we don’t see fit to fix some things that aren’t relevant. I don’t see there’s anything wrong with that request. The red flags for stuff that actually isn’t important on my site, should be able to be cleared somehow (without adding something else to my site that isn’t necessary, just because it thinks I should).

    Sorry, I’m not a programmer, so it might be easy to say that I can solve with individual programming… and unfortunately the ones suggested, while ONE fit the bill, it’s too old and I’m not installing one that old for my own site’s security. (Only tested to like 5.2).

    So yes, it might be critical to others – which I again, am not arguing. I’m simply suggesting the ability to turn stuff off, for those of us who don’t need some of the suggestions.

    So, neither Threadi nor I make such decisions. If you want to put this in front of the devs, the best place is to use the trac link, above.

    @sterndata – I have done that now, thank you! As a side note, this section IS called Requests and Feedback… which is why I posted here initially. I was not aware of where to submit, but I have done that.
