PMF

Will this dismiss important update notifications?: No! The plugin is designed to only dismiss marketing and promotional notices. All WordPress core updates, security warnings, error messages, and plugin/theme updates remain visible.
Can I temporarily disable the auto-dismiss feature?: Yes! Simply go to Settings > Auto Dismiss and uncheck the “Enable Auto Dismiss” option. You can re-enable it anytime.
Does this plugin affect website performance?: No. The plugin is extremely lightweight and only loads a small JavaScript file in the WordPress admin area. It has no impact on your website’s frontend performance.
Will this work with all plugins?: The plugin works with the vast majority of WordPress plugins that use standard WordPress admin notice APIs. In rare cases where a plugin uses non-standard notices, they may not be automatically dismissed.
Does this plugin collect any data?: No. This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any data. It works entirely within your WordPress installation.
What if I want to see all notices temporarily?: Simply disable the plugin from Settings > Auto Dismiss, or deactivate it temporarily from the Plugins page.
Can I customize which notices are dismissed?: The current version automatically identifies and dismisses spam notices based on intelligent pattern matching. Future versions may include more customization options based on user feedback.
Is this plugin compatible with multisite?: Yes, the plugin works on both single WordPress installations and multisite networks.
How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?: Please use the WordPress.org support forum for this plugin, or contact us through our website.
