How to disable Yoast notifications?

+1

I also find this very annoying. The only way I can get rid of the “what’s new” alert is to actually go to the link in the alert. If we click the “X” on the alert, that’s it. The alert should go away. I manage dozens of sites and I don’t need to read what’s new dozens of times.

Adding a +1 here as well. Specifically, in my case, the “Don’t miss your crawl errors: connect with Google Search Console here.” persists even after closing it multiple times.

If would be great if it didn’t do that.

“Don’t miss your crawl errors: connect with Google Search Console here.” doesn’t want to disappear

Try placing this in the functions.php file of your child theme (backup the file first).

//Disable YOAST nag messages
remove_action( 'admin_notices', array( Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications' ) );
remove_action( 'all_admin_notices', array( Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications' ) );

It worked for me.

I can confirm that barnez’s code does work. Thank you, this plugin is getting more and more annoying all the time.

AWESOME thank you so much @barnez

+1 on this thread and +1 to barnez for the fix!

Adding those lines to my child theme’s functions.php file worked.

The issue itself should be fixed in the latest release, even without the extra code.
Can you confirm this is the case for your website too, peterszky?

Sorry, but I can’t. I uninstalled Yoast Seo months ago because of the permalink bug.

+1, the issue still seems to be persisting, even in the latest release.

Yes, I have the latest release and the notice returns on every page, even after clicking the “x” numerous times.

I have learned never to update right away with this one – however when you think it’s okay. It’s not.
“Fixes a bug where the notifications can be shown multiple times”

I suppose technically it is fixed to show multiple times seeing as how we can not dismiss it

+1, the notification for 3.2.3 only goes away even when you visit the link, not when you click the X. Deceptive or incompetent.

Altering the standard notification method as a lure is very deceptive indeed. The incompetence comes in when the bad practice isn’t simply removed immediately.

They are spamming their brand and forcing users to go to a website – fortunately there have always been many alternative plugns.

+1 to all of the +1’ers above

+1 to the notification issue even with the latest release.
