of downloads still active
At least 10K of 66.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,188 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 12 reviews to 2025-09-26Reviewers keep calling it the best of the admin notice hiders, with praise for the toolbar menu and the settings, and the one lower rating is a Wordfence firewall clash rather than a fault in the plugin itself.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “hide notices”, “admin area” and “admin toolbar” (#4, #7 and #8 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Not only does it deliver everything it promises as a plugin, but it also has friendly and dedicated support. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this plugin!

I choose to uninstall it because I was tired of the “flashing and jumping” that it cause each time a notice is blocked and stored. But it works. UPDATE : the last update corrects the issue.

… when it is activated (doing its great job!), continously a Wordfence pop up window appears, with the following message: “Background Request Blocked. Wordfence Firewall blocked a background request to WordPress for the URL (my website backend url, followed by “admin-ajax.php”. If this occurred as a result of an intentional action, you may consider allowlisting the request to allow it in the future., where I can clicck on “Add action to allowlist” or “Dismiss”. And if I click on dismiss (I am scared about security abuse) the message keeps coming.

We have tried a few and find this one the best: Settings: excellent settings menu to adjust the plugin to our requirements Effective: moves & hides all admin notices, literally all of them! Popup: very neat way of hiding / displaying the notices This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by Pieter Sand.

I’ve tried them all and this one I love! I think my favorite thing about it is how it adds a menu item to the top right corner of the admin toolbar instead of some hard to navigate area of the sidebar. It has a nice slide out menu when you click it too instead of the typical oldschool WordPress design. Great job guys, thank you! This topic was modified 2 years ago by scandidesignco.
