Disable Welcome Messages and Tips

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 77% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers are thrilled it kills the welcome and tips nags, with one noting the block editor's three-dot options menu disappears alongside them.

   Exactly what I was looking for and it works perfectlyI don’t understand why web developers have to create all these annoying pop-ups. And why they don’t go away especially when you login to a site and close the pop-up right away!

   Thank you ever so much for this little plugin. Probably most WP users would like to install it, immediately, if only they knew it exists.

   Thanks for killing off the perpetually annoying “Welcome to the Block Editor” message, which has been welcoming me to the Block Editor every time I log in for years. It’s also helpful to have the full dashboard interface when in edit mode!

   I have been waiting and waiting for WP to add a way to disable this message. It WAS soooo annoying! Thanks so much!

   Thank you so much for this plugin! The welcome message and popups have been so annoying. I never understood why the corresponding preferences are not stored server-side so users get the same experience no matter from where and with whatever browser they log in.

   Helped when trying to White label a site and the pop up for the editor shows links to WordPress. Thanks!
