Please remove the affiliate marketing spam notices

  • Please discontinue the terrible idea of injecting admin notices to get people onto your affiliate marketing program. The ads are already more than loud enough on the settings page. Having these notices appear on every site in a multisite installation really, really annoying.

    Hello @pputzer
    The plugin doesn’t have any admin notices that contain affiliate marketing programs, etc. The two notices it does have only exist in the network admin area. One is related to migrating settings from the previous plugin, and the other is an opt-in for updates, both can be dismissed, neither of which return.

    Are you sure you have the correct plugin?

    @tribalnerd Unfortunately, yes, I am. If its not intentional, you might have to configure Freemius differently. See https://github.com/ChrisWinters/multisite-robotstxt-manager/blob/master/sdk/freemius/includes/class-freemius.php#L21188 as a starting point.

    (And really, I get it that people want to “monetarize” their free plugins, but just looking at the size of class-freemium.php, that’s a lot of baggage, wow.)

    Hello @pputzer
    I’ve tested this as many possible ways as I can, and no matter what I can’t get the network websites to throw a freemius admin notice anywhere but in the network admin area.

    I do get the 1 extra notice in the network admin dashboard on a fresh install, and I am looking at a way to discontinue that notice, I just haven’t figured it out yet.

    Freemius does a lot, and yeah it would be nice if I could just export the parts used rather than the entire system. However, it’s rather awesome what it does do, the stats gathered helped me realize the plugin had a bug, without a user posting a ticket about it, which is great for developers.

    Well, @tribalnerd, I can’t tell you why it shows up, but it does – on every single site in the network.
