Freemius? No Thanks

    An awesome simple plugin ruined by Freemius spam in WordPress Dashboard.
    6 New option text connected to Freemius in the admin dashboard menu? Looks so spammy.

    Not to mention the green color of the upgrade text that draws attention to a single plugin on the dashboard. I really disappointed

    Is there any option to remove this mess? https://prnt.sc/fbKnP7f-_5jP

    I’m going to review my review and change it accordingly.

    Update: I went back to the previous version. If someone wants to go back to a previous version 2.3.5, just manually install the previous version then add the code below to your function.php to remove plugin update notifications.

    /** * Copy to Clipboard Remove Plugin Update Notification */
function remove_update_notifications( $value ) {

    if ( isset( $value ) && is_object( $value ) ) {
        unset( $value->response[ 'copy-the-code/copy-the-code.php' ] );
    }

    return $value;
}
add_filter( 'site_transient_update_plugins', 'remove_update_notifications' );

    Ah!

    Let me check the possibilities of removing all the possible sub-menus.

    We have the below menus:

    – Copy to Clipboard
    – Add New
    – Dashboard
    – Affiliation
    – Contact Us
    – Support Forum
    – Upgrade

    Each menu has its own unique screen.

    I think we can remove:

    – Add New – It’s basically available in the “Copy to Clipboard” sub-menu screen.
    – Affiliation – Not required anymore.
    – Contact Us – I think, It should be on the ‘> Dashboard’ sub-menu screen.
    – Support Forum – I think, It should be on the ‘> Dashboard’ sub-menu screen.
    – Upgrade – I think, It should be on the ‘> Dashboard’ sub-menu screen.

    Some menus are managed by Freemius so I’m not sure all menu content is flexible to combine on one screen.

    Let me check all the possibilities for the next release.

    Hello @marius84,

    I have just removed all those sub-menus from the settings menu.

    It’s really a bad experience to see a lot of sub-menus. We rarely use them.

    On my personal site, I use a lot of different plugins and, I was also very sad when I see such menus. ??

    But, While developing, I forget this experience while integrating the Freemius.

    Now, I have removed all the sub-menus from the UI and these are available from the list screen.

    Please check the screenshot below:

    Also, Thanks for sharing your feedback.

    As a developer, I rarely notice a such issue.

    And most users just remove the plugin without sharing their feedback.

    If possible, Please check the latest plugin release and share your feedback.
