How To disable admin notices in WordPress
To disable admin notices in WordPress, you can do so by adding some code to your theme’s functions.php file or by using a plugin. Here are the steps for both methods:
Method 1: Using Code in functions.php
- Access your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Appearance > Theme Editor.
- In the Theme Files list on the right, find and select the functions.php file.
- Add the following code at the end of the file:
function hide_admin_notices() {
remove_all_actions('admin_notices');
}
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_admin_notices');
- Save the changes.
Please note that modifying theme files directly can be risky. It’s recommended to use a child theme if you’re not already doing so.
Method 2: Using a Plugin
- Access your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Search for a plugin like “Disable Admin Notices Individually” or “Admin Notices Manager”.
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Once activated, go to Settings > Admin Notices to configure the plugin’s settings.
Using a plugin is often the safer and more user-friendly option, especially if you’re not comfortable editing theme files directly.
Remember to always create a backup of your website before making any significant changes. This ensures that you can easily revert if something goes wrong
