[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] "Help us improve WordPress SEO” Message Will Not Go Away

This message is really very annoying. It appears on every page load, whether or not it is related to the plugin.

To disabled this I manually edited the plugin file, and now I don’t see it again ??

I just commented line 32 in file wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-pointers.php

Here is the updated code.

if ( !isset( $options['presstrends'] ) ) {
	// add_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts', array( $this, 'presstrends_request' ) );
} else if ( !isset( $options['ignore_tour'] ) || !$options['ignore_tour'] ) {
	add_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts', array( $this, 'intro_tour' ) );
	add_action( 'admin_head', array( $this, 'admin_head' ) );
}

This was actually really helpful, thank you!

As much as I love this plugin, and Joost’s other work, this is incredibly intrusive, and just might cause me to stop using it.

I’m hoping he removes these . . soon.

Kind of strange, it seems to have stopped showing suddenly.

I don’t mind it once or twice. It seemed at the time that it was going to keep appearing on every dashboard load.

Foot. Mouth.
