Hide activation nag for Visual Composer and Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer

Extra work !!! “Stop Visual Composer Activation Nag” plugin GREAT TNX AGAIN !!!

Thanks for the plugin.
You are right about some premium themes VC bundling without disabling this warning.
I buy a premium theme that bundling VC in it.
Although the themes we already buy / pay, VC nag remain frequent.
The same thing we can do to Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer.

add_action(‘admin_init’, function()
{
setcookie(‘vchideactivationmsg’, ‘1’, strtotime(‘+3 years’), ‘/’); //Visual Composer
setcookie(‘uavchideactivationmsg’, ‘1’, strtotime(‘+3 years’), ‘/’); //Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer
});

Hi Stanislav,
I’ve tried all the latest snippet you.
Only works for Visual Composer and do not work for the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer.
So finally I change it through html tags. Open wp-content\plugins\Ultimate_VC_Addons\admin\admin.php
Find Howdy word.
Above that word there is html tags .
Add style = “display: none;” thus becoming
But I do not know whether if the plugin update the tags will be lost or not.
The same thing I did at Gravity Form.
#gf_dashboard_message { display: none; }

Hey,

I was looking for a solution for that for a client as the theme includes the plugin without hiding the update nag…

Andhi’s answer made me think and here is a safer solution than editing the plugin. Add this to your functions.php


add_action('admin_head', 'hide_nag');

function hide_nag() {
echo '
.update-nag.bsf-update-nag {
display: none !important;
}
';
}


This works for the ultimate addons but a little bit of customisation will make it work for every plugin.

Work with Version 3.13.5. heres how u do it. Thanks WP_God

1. wp-content\plugins\Ultimate_VC_Addons\admin\admin.php

The codes look like this, at the top of the line.
============================================
if($_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] !== ‘localhost’ && $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] !== ‘127.0.0.1’ && $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] !== ‘::1’){
//add_action( ‘admin_notices’, array( $this, ‘display_notice’ ) );
//add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, array($this, ‘check_for_update’) );
//add_action( ‘in_plugin_update_message-
===================================================
Change it into.
===============================================
if($_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] !== ‘localhost’ && $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] !== ‘127.0.0.1’ && $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] !== ‘::1’){
add_action( ‘admin_notices’, array( $this, ‘display_notice’ ) );
//add_action( ‘plugins_loaded’, array($this, ‘check_for_update’) );
//add_action( ‘in_plugin_update_message-
================================================
I only remove comment line on “add_action( ‘admin_notices’, array( $this, ‘display_notice’ ) );”

2. wp-content\plugins\Ultimate_VC_Addons\admin\auto-update\admin-functions.php
The codes look like this, Line 477
===============================================
add_action(‘admin_notices’,’bsf_notices’,1000);
add_action(‘network_admin_notices’,’bsf_notices’,1000);
if(!function_exists(‘bsf_notices’)) {
===============================================
Change it to.
==========================
//add_action(‘admin_notices’,’bsf_notices’,1000);
add_action(‘network_admin_notices’,’bsf_notices’,1000);
if(!function_exists(‘bsf_notices’)) {
==========================

Yeah have fun.

decent solution but I found that adding this instead to your functions.php file works better:

$_COOKIE[‘vchideactivationmsg_vc11’] = WPB_VC_VERSION;

that way the message won’t even show up the first time and you don’t have to rely on setting a cookie.
