 * Echh, I thought it was posted. My apologies. Either use the plugin file editor
   or vim. From your WP root 
   `vim ./wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/vendor/
   groupone/wap-client/wap-client.php`Change line 160 to add the **style** attribute
 *     ```wp-block-code
       printf('<div style="display: none" class="notice notice-warning"><p>%s</p></div>', wp_kses_post($message));
       ```
   
 * [EDITED] I think you could also employ the “dismissable” (?) class. I haven’t
   tried that.
   I should also note that:1. The plugin URI in the plugin header is
   a 4042. The “contact us” link on the group.one page has a JavaScript error

 * Its already fixed by Rank Math. See: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-wap-ai-assistant-falsely-claims-requires-https/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-wap-ai-assistant-falsely-claims-requires-https/)
 * And I would advise against modifying plugin code. Temporarily deactivating it
   until the developer releases an update would be the better approach, since you
   never know what consequences the change might have.

 * It’s a `display:none` on an admin popup. Thanks for the pointer to the fix
