I want to be dependant on as few plugins as I can so I would really appreciate a native solution.
This is functionality you shouldn’t really need to install a plugin to be able to disable. Strictly speaking it should have been a setting in the WP Admin GUI, but I can live with adding stuff to wp-config.

So there’s no way to disable the messages about updates as well without having to resort to hiding through CSS?

Wow, this turned out to be more difficult than it at first seemed. I have the same question going on stackexchange as well and it has no answers either! (and they’re usually quick to come up with an answer there)

An alternative question is then to not be as specific and just ask the following:

How can I use the media library in a custom widget?

After some frustrating late night hours I finally found the culprit.
In my CSS I have a class named “hidden”. If I removed this the screen options showed up again.

Question 2 still remains, though.

After a few more hours of frustration I finally found the error of my ways.

I had misspelled manage_options by using a hyphen instead of an underscore.

*Hits head on wall*

Thanks for your attention ??
