Can’t hide the Edit Columns button

    Hello!

    The Edit Columns button can no longer be disabled in the latest version of Admin Columns. The toggle button under Settings that controls it can’t be deactivated. It might be a sanitization issue.

    Also, please provide a toggle under Settings, or at least a filter to disable all the upsells for the Pro version, including the bubble shown next to the Add-ons tab. After the redesign, 75% of the screen is made of upsells for the Pro version, which is very intrusive and obnoxious. I hate this so much that I’m seriously considering removing the plugin from all the websites I manage.

    Please, don’t take your marketing ideas from Yoast and Syed Balkhi. Just because someone uses the free version of a plugin doesn’t mean they agree to have their websites used as public billboards. You’ve built a lot of trust in the WordPress community. Don’t ruin it by using cheap marketing tricks.

    If you really want to showcase all the features of the Pro version, make a separate tab after Add-Ons and list all the benefits there. (and most importantly, provide a way to disable the upsells – either through settings or a filter)

    Hi Eusebiu,

    Thanks for taking your time to review the recent changes to the UI. We take your feedback very seriously and we will consider your input. We mean to deliver a clean and workable UI and, though we do want to market our Pro version a little as it is seriously better ??, the free version was created to give back to the WordPress community. Again, thanks for your input and you expect a follow-up on your comment shortly.

    We will also have a look at the Edit Columns button. We have not been able to reproduce it but we will have closer look and post any updates on that here as well.

    Best,
    David

    Hello, David!

    Thank you for taking my feedback into consideration.
    As for the Edit Columns toggle, here is a GIF with the issue:

    As you can see, after I turn the toggle off, a message appears that says the settings were saved, but if I refresh the page, the toggle is on again.

    Hi Eusebiu,

    Thanks for the input. Are you able to do some debugging for me?
    Storing the setting is done by Ajax, and as long as the result of that request gives a 200 status, we assume that it is stored correctly. Can you debug the following for me:

    – Can you check if the Ajax call is fired and indeed gives a 200 status. An empty response is also expected since we exit the code after the storage

    – Can you check your database -> wp_options table -> for the option with name ‘cpac_general_options’ and see if it exists and contains a value. If so, can you check if anything changes when toggling the button on our settings page

    You can share your findings also with me at [email protected]
