Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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.

    Does not hide notices and does not add “Show notices” tab. I think it’s abandoned.

    Woocommerce has set an administrator notification on all pages that says that the menu item has been moved to me and I click the button below to complete the process, which does not happen, the notice does not disappear, the setting does not take place. I can’t hide this notification with Hide admin notice… by editing the PHP code… by editing the CSS code… and WordPress doesn’t see the error… so I have to wait 30 seconds after every page load for the empty admin notice to load 😀 Awesome

    So far, the best plugin of its kind. I’ve tried several others that promise a lot, but don’t work quite right (most don’t block ALL notifications). This one does. It’s effective and simple.

    Nowadays, everybody thinks their plugin deserves an admin notice publicity spot. Indeed they do, folks are offering free tools and everybody has to put food on their tables. That said, depending on how many plugins we have installed, we can have 4, 5 or more notices polluting the dashboard making for a terrible user experience. Some of them reach like 400px height. It’s a mess. The solution offered by PontetLabs is so good that I think it should be incorporated into the WordPress core. Very well done, thanks a lot!!
