Ennoying message that doesn’t go away

    HI
    yesterday, a message from you appeared on my dashboard and every editing page

    ” Hey guys. Sorry I have not been dedicating enought time to the plugin. I’ll catch up with all outstanding issues as well as add new widgets in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your support and understanding. ”

    even when I deactivated and then deleted your plugin, and cleared the cache – your ennoying message STILL shows up on every editing page and post and dashboard.

    If you don’t have the time to keep your plugin up to date – that’s perfectly ok, I will get another.

    but please tell me how can I PERMANENTLY REMOVE this message from my WP as it simply does not go away!!

    I saw this message on my blog, went looking for the source, and found your support ticket.

    I wanted to make sure everyone else knew the cause.

    This happened after the last update on my site as well. It seems to now call a file admin-notice.php in the inc subdirectory of the plugin. I have removed this and the notice is now gone.

    I have to say, however, that this really is a careless bit of code. There is NO identity of who added the notice, and unless you paid attention to when it happened, you have no idea who is “talking” to you.

    It’s bad enough to have to keep up with everything necessary to keep hackers off your site, but when a developer scares the stew out of you, that is NOT COOL.

    I hope the plugin isn’t written as carelessly as this notice was.

    Thanks for posting this solution. I was just starting to go through my plugins one by one
