how do we get rid of Advanced Ads banner ads from displaying in dashboard?

Yeah its ridiculous when I saw that it was blocking the page options. Such a great plugin that they have to ruin it this way C’mon fellas give us a break huh?
Try to dismiss the banner and get even more frustrated 😛
Hi there,
I’m sorry for the frustration caused by the Advanced Ads event banner and the lack of a dismiss option. The campaign ends on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 15:00 CET, and the banner will disappear automatically after that.
If you’d like to hide it sooner, you can use the snippet below. It only hides the campaign banner in the WordPress admin. We recommend using a snippet plugin because you can easily turn the snippet off once the campaign ends.
add_action( 'admin_head', static function (): void { echo '<style>#advads-promotion-banner { display: none !important; }</style>'; } );Option 1 – Use Code Snippets (recommended)
- If you don’t already have Code Snippets installed, go to Plugins > Add Plugin. Search for Code Snippets by Code Snippets Pro, then click Install Now and Activate.
- Go to Snippets > Add New. Give the snippet a name such as Hide Advanced Ads event banner and choose Functions (PHP).
- Paste the code into the editor.
- Under Location, select Only run in administration area, then click Save and Activate.
- Reload the affected WordPress admin page.
- To undo the change, go to Snippets > All Snippets and deactivate the snippet.

Option 2 – Use your child theme’s
functions.phpIf you already use a child theme and are comfortable editing PHP, save a copy of its
functions.phpfile first. Add the same snippet to the active child theme’sfunctions.phpinside the existing PHP block, without adding another<?phptag. Save the file and reload the affected admin page. Once the campaign ends, you can remove the snippet from the file.Thank you for flagging this and for sharing your feedback.
Best regards,
Perfect, thanks for not letting us down, I guess I could have done this myself, but its nice to know that your support is on top of things like always…great plugin btw 🙂
This is really disappointing to have something like this forced with no dismiss button. Very intrusive. While we can use the provided snippet code (thanks for that!), there is a remaining issue in that the banner is also configured to disable the “screen options” and “help” buttons from the admin dashboard homepage it seems, so those remain missing even when using the banner hide code above. How can we get those back?!
Agreed, this will absolutely weigh in when someone asks what I think of Advanced Ads. May have to vibe code a replacement 😉
@flea777 , there is no need for vibe coding a replacement, it is already there. Just look here in the repository for AdPresso.
