The persistent upgrade message not respecting the “never show again” option is definitely not the intended behavior, and we’re actively investigating the issue to get it resolved. That type of disruption isn’t something we want anyone to deal with, and your feedback helps us make the plugin better for everyone.
In the meantime, we’re working on improving how and when upgrade notices appear to make sure they’re far less intrusive and fully dismissible — especially for users who just want to focus on their work.
We appreciate you giving the plugin a try, and even if it wasn’t the right fit for now, we hope to earn back your trust with future updates.
Thanks,

While the plugin is designed to be powerful and precise, it’s true that with great power comes great responsibility. That’s why we clearly state in several places — including the plugin interface and documentation — that it should only be used after taking a full backup, especially when using advanced features like regex or global replacements.
We also offer a dry-run mode and undo functionality specifically to prevent irreversible changes. These tools are in place to help users safely preview and roll back replacements before committing to them.
That said, your experience highlights just how important it is for us to continue improving the safety net and messaging around these features. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to make things clearer and more robust moving forward.
If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear more about what happened and see if there’s anything we can do to help.
Thanks,
Krasen
