I am sorry you have encountered a problem with our plugin. Do not worry, I will try to explain you everything below. * In our notification you have a “Hide and do not show again” button. When you click it, the notification will disappear forever. Please tell me, have you tried clicking this button? * We never intended to spam people in the WordPress dashboard. Currently, our plugin is used by over 400,000 users and we do not receive reports similar to yours. Therefore, I will be grateful if you help us diagnose this matter better. * Best, Mateusz * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775066) * Its the build up of all plugin devs and asking for reviews, promotions etc. It needs to stop, important notices are almost invisible. * Why a store wide notice? just add it minimalistic on your admin plugin page. * Why should i dismiss all those promo’s, ps they are always coming back after a while. * Like your plugin, but hope you and other devs will look into this. * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775141) * Thank you for your answer [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/)! * Below I am sending you information about all notifications that were available in our plugin: - webpc_notice_thanks – is a notification asking for a review - webpc_notice_upgrade – is a notification with information about the possibility of upgrading the plan to the PRO version - webpc_notice_bf2022 – is a notification with information about the Black Friday promotion, which was displayed from November 24, 2022 to November 28, 2022( the notification was only visible for 5 days, but it could be closed at any time) - webpc_notice_bf2023 – is a notification with information about the Black Friday promotion, which was displayed from November 20, 2023 to November 27, 2023( the notification was only visible for 8 days, but it could be closed at any time) - In every notification you have a “Hide and do not show again” button. When you click it, the notification will disappear forever. Do not close this notification with the X button, just click this button. Then the notification will disappear forever. - Please see how many people use the plugin and how many people add reviews. Most people, when they are satisfied with using a plugin, do not add reviews. For us, feedback is very important because it allows us to develop the plugin. - Please tell me what do you think about it now? Do you think the plugin deserves 1 star even though you like and use it? * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775151) * Remove the notices global and i give you 5. That is my feedback. * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775333) * [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/), are you looking at my perspective that I described to you above? * You receive the plugin from us for free. Additionally, we devote a lot of time to technical support. In total, these are thousands of hours. Of course, you have the right to such a review, but on a human level I’m sad. Because it shows that all our efforts are worthless. * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775388) * No not at all, if i need you plugin for a pro feature, i will buy it. Like i said, i like your plugin. Your effort is not worthless. * But you can add review request, sales etc. on the plugin page. Don’t shout it al around in my admin or dashboard.That’s what i don’t like. * It’s not a circus, it s a professional site. Each time i open client sites, i need to dismiss dozens of promotional notices from plugin devs.Looks like a Wallmart store with all the promo’s. * Change it and i will change my review. * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775617) * [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) I think now you are trying to penalize all plugins that add notifications. Then please tell me why you use such plugins? * In my opinion, using plugins means you save a lot of time. You don’t have to write thousands of lines of code or pay a developer to do it. * For you, the problem is clicking one button and closing the notification, and you don’t look at everything that the plugin gives you. * Please tell me, do you think this is fair? * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17775721) * We need plugins in this ecosystem. Its the choice of the developer or UX specialist how to promote.I think you have better options. * Its not clicking one button, its clicking dozens of buttons on al admins. And again, most of the time they are coming back after a while.Im not the only one complaining, it’s on the net for years.I think i made my point about a professional looking admin. * Cheers 😉 * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17777393) * [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) It’s not my fault that notifications come back in other plugins. I wrote to you about our notification and told you that they were coming back. Please don’t penalize all plugins for something the selected ones do in a bad way. * If you see better options than notifications, please let me know. I’ll be happy to use them. * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17777801) * In WordPress on the Converter for Media pages that would be the place to promote and ask for reviews. Keep notifications only for important info. * If you product is good, admins will place reviews. And your product is good. * You can make a sub feature that users only can get when they opt-in with there e-mail. Promote this feature and you can do your email marketing to place a review or up-sell the whole app. * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17781026) * Thank you for your answer [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/)! * > In WordPress on the Converter for Media pages that would be the place to promote > and ask for reviews. Keep notifications only for important info. * This is not a good place because it would not be effective. No notification appears immediately after installing the plugin. And you only need to enter the plugin settings once – after installing the plugin, to perform the collective optimization process. After that, no one enters the plugin settings anymore, because there is no need for it. * > You can make a sub feature that users only can get when they opt-in with there > e-mail. * I don’t want to collect the email addresses of thousands of users. I don’t need this because I would have to protect this data. I shouldn’t ask for data from plugin users. * Moreover, the newsletter is even less effective in this matter. How can I ask for a review from someone if I don’t know if they still use the plugin? The newsletter will not help in this matter. * Thread Starter [rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) * (@rvscc) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17782394) * Ok thats why i give you 1 star. * [qfwv3ehog7aanp2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfwv3ehog7aanp2/) * (@qfwv3ehog7aanp2) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17845901) * I totally support [@rvscc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvscc/) here. it’s full of bloat and spammy notifications. * [qfwv3ehog7aanp2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfwv3ehog7aanp2/) * (@qfwv3ehog7aanp2) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-bloat/#post-17895106) * and another spammy notification added “webpc_notice_pro_version” * we’re removing your product from our standard client install and advising our 200+ customers to stop paying and change to one of many alternatives.
