Title: ad for Pro version Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # ad for Pro version * Resolved [Li-An](https://wordpress.org/support/users/li-an/) * (@li-an) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/) * Since 3.1 version I’ve got a message for the pro version each time I go on my plugin page. How to get rid of this – it’s like spam for me ? * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 23 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Hüsken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielhuesken/) * (@danielhuesken) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440105) * There is a link to close the message in the box on the right. * Thread Starter [Li-An](https://wordpress.org/support/users/li-an/) * (@li-an) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440107) * I know but each time I go to the page, there is the message… EACH TIME. * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Hüsken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielhuesken/) * (@danielhuesken) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440134) * Iw ill have a look * [Philip John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philipjohn/) * (@philipjohn) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440171) * That message is annoying and as such is, arguably, against #5 of the [plugin guidelines](http://wordpress.org/plugins/about/guidelines/). * [Caspar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyghost/) * (@friendlyghost) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440179) * [@philipjohn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philipjohn/) Do you see the same behavior as Li-An does? You’re right, it would be a violation of the plugin guidelines, but that message is supposed to disappear forever after it has appeared once. No need to click anywhere, it appears once, you navigate somewhere else, and it’s gone. * It should remain gone, because the option `backwpup_about_page` gets the value` 1` once the redirect has taken place. That option value should not be touched during an update, so the page should not appear again. * The fact that it re-appears in Li-Ans installation is an erroneous behavior, maybe even a bug we’re going to try to fix here as quickly as possible. The re- appearance of that page is in no way intended by the plugin authors. * [Caspar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyghost/) * (@friendlyghost) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440180) * Update: I’m seeing in the forums Li-An is not the only one. We’re on it, please stay tuned. * [Marcelo Pedra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kent-brockman/) * (@kent-brockman) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440181) * Same here. Looks like the plugin is not saving the dismiss decision. * I can confirm the bug is present no matter the version and PHP platform used. It’s a bug IN the plugin. * [Caspar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyghost/) * (@friendlyghost) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440182) * If you want this gone now, before we fix it, this is the place where it happens: [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/backwpup/trunk/inc/class-admin.php#L102](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/backwpup/trunk/inc/class-admin.php#L102) * ``` if ( ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && ! get_site_option( 'backwpup_about_page', FALSE ) && ! isset( $_GET['activate-multi'] ) ) { update_site_option( 'backwpup_about_page', TRUE ); wp_redirect( network_admin_url( 'admin.php' ) . '?page=backwpupabout' ); exit(); } ``` * It’s a super-quick hack, but you could just out-comment or delete the whole if statement. * [Caspar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyghost/) * (@friendlyghost) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440183) * Very sorry about that. 🙁 * Thread Starter [Li-An](https://wordpress.org/support/users/li-an/) * (@li-an) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440184) * OK, I will wait for the update. * [Marcelo Pedra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kent-brockman/) * (@kent-brockman) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440185) * Caspar: I’ll wait for the official fix to avoid getting nuts modifying a dozen sites. If it will be fixed this week I can live with it 🙂 * [Caspar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/friendlyghost/) * (@friendlyghost) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440186) * Thanks. I’m trying to get a hold of a developer right now, so yes, it is going to be fixed this week. * Plugin Author [Robert Windisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullbyte/) * (@nullbyte) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440190) * We did fix that on the 3.1.1 and will include it in the next bugfix release. Please re-install version 3.1.1 to get this problem fixed. * [Marcelo Pedra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kent-brockman/) * (@kent-brockman) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440191) * 3.1.1 is the official last update from wp repo, and the bug is happenning yet, nor this appears fixed in the changelog. Did you mean 3.1.2? * Moderator [Dominik Schilling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ocean90/) * (@ocean90) * WordPress Core Developer * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ad-for-pro-version/#post-4440193) * [@marcelo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcelo/) Pedra No, you have to download the 3.1.1 version again. There is no 3.1.2, the fix is just [backported](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/827632/backwpup) to the 3.1.1 and 3.1 branch.
