Description
Papy3D NoticeShield helps administrators keep the WordPress dashboard readable while preserving control over third-party admin notices.
Unlike simple notice hiders, Papy3D NoticeShield keeps captured notices reviewable, reversible, and stored locally. It is designed for administrators who want a cleaner dashboard without losing visibility over plugin messages.
Highlights
- Review notices before making a decision.
- Allow, block, ask again, or temporarily mute notices.
- Source dashboard to allow or block notices by detected source.
- Decision journal showing what changed and when.
- Export/import rules as JSON for multi-site workflows.
- Safe Core mode designed to avoid WordPress Core workflow notices.
- Optional placeholder for blocked notices.
- Local-only storage. No tracking, no external service.
- No advertising, no upsell, and no commercial prompt inside your dashboard.
- Nonce-protected actions and reversible decisions.
- 100% free plugin, with no paid version planned.
