Why do you think it is necessary to add this, when other plugins do not? Why show the dashboard message and the "1" badge to those that don't have permission to update? It just causes confusion and questions from customers. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-153350 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 01:05:15 +0000 Chris Hajer 153350@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for posting that solution.</p> <p>Also, you should not be making any changes to the Gravity Forms files where you would need to worry about this: "so that any changes don't get overridden when I actually do my regular plugin updates"</p> <p>If you have problems you cannot solve without modifying the plugin files, we'd like to hear about it to be able to help, or could use your suggestions to improve the plugin.</p> <p>If you hide that 'upgrade available' message, please be sure to follow the blog or subscribe to email updates to be sure you don't miss a release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-152917 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 06:27:42 +0000 rabmcnab 152917@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply David - sorry I didn't reply sooner, for some reason I didn't get the reply notification. Thought I'd quickly come back in anyway with pretty much this answer. For anyone else, rather than updating the CSS itself, which you'd need to redo after upgrades, you would create a method in functions.php and hook it to <code>admin_head</code>;</p> <pre><code>/************* CUSTOM ADMIN CSS *****************/ function custom_admin_css() { echo &#39;&lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt; #gf_dashboard_message { display: none; } &lt;/style&gt;&#39;; } add_action(&#39;admin_head&#39;, &#39;custom_admin_css&#39;);</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-101322 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:22:22 +0000 David Peralty 101322@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Here you go:</p> <p>Adding the following to his css file should do the trick<br /> <pre><code>#gf_dashboard_message { display: none; }</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-101252 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:57:57 +0000 rabmcnab 101252@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David,</p> <p>Thanks for getting back to me - it's the main notification that sites right at the top of the Dashboard when you log in, here's a screenshot;</p> <p><a href="http://www.mcnab.co/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/update-notification.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcnab.co/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/update-notification.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks for your help,</p> <p>Robbie. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-100999 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 18:07:38 +0000 David Peralty 100999@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you take a screenshot and upload it to imgur or something similar and link it to us so we can see which message you want removed? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-plugin-update-message#post-100785 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:36:55 +0000 rabmcnab 100785@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, apologies if this is a duplicate post, I had a decent look.</p> <p>Love your product, use it all the time. Hate the intrusive plugin upgrade notification message right at the top of the admin screen.</p> <p>Can you let me know how to disable the update message so that any changes don't get overridden when I actually do my regular plugin updates on my sites? Something I can drop into the functions.php on these sites? Thanks for any advice.</p> <p>Robbie. </p>
