Hi @ontario777 – thanks for writing in!
Please be advised that those are not really meant for viewing more than when you first install it to introduce those extensions/add ons plugins.
Additionally, we are currently working on a dashboard installer, where you could install, activate, and manage them and active ones would be listed above the rest, etc. At the moment, we don’t have ETA for this.
Hope that clears up the confusion. 🙂 If you have any other questions, just let us know.
Hi Maria,
This notification is shown after each update. It’s abusive for webmaster.
The notifications in main menus of dashboard was built for important things not for shitty ads.
Now I will change 2* review for this plugin to 1* – seems that you do not respect web admins. 🙁
Regards.
Bel

Hello @ontario777
You can disable the notification under the Popup Maker settings > Misc, please see https://share.getcloudapp.com/Jruqd4G1
You can also disable the data sharing in here https://share.getcloudapp.com/kpuNpKRx
Please let us know if the provided solution helps or if you need further assistance with this matter.
Thank you for the reply. Will try.
Just wonder who called “notifications in main admin menu” as “random tips” 🙂
BTW a bug found:
If I already save the settings and ocassionaly click SAVE once again – I got a warning that “There must have been an error, settings not saved successfully!”

ontario777 – great point you make here, thumbs up.
@ontario777, @wireb – Just chiming in before I close this, assuming you disable tips either by clicking the don’t show again link in one of them or checking the setting, then the only time you would see those red notices is either when we release an update requiring database updates which need to be manually started, have a major changelog update that should be seen, or if we release a new extension. The last one hasn’t happened in more than a year as we are working to consolidate more, the first is very rare as well, and the second only occurs for “minor” updates that include new features or major changes to how things used to work.
In all cases except new extensions I’d say these are need to knows and have no plans on disabling them. We already provide options as you found to disable tips.
Further I did see your review @ontario777, bit off the mark unless we’ve missed something. Not the part about the tips being annoying, but rather that we show them globally outside our own admin pages.
The only messages that would ever be marked global are required database updates mentioned above, otherwise quietly tucked away as I intended it to be and all are dismissible except required change notices.
As a long time WP user myself I wouldn’t have built it to annoy users on every page, I hate that as well.
That all said I opened an issue to make the “Update/New Feature” notices optional.
Take care.
I set it :
on – Disable Popup Maker occasionally showing random tips to improve your popups.
off – Allow usage tracking?
But getting this annoying bubbles again.
However its not normal to show this – why I should turn off this on every of 20+ webs I manage?!
