Remove top bar and errors diagnostics

Hey @bibica,

thanks for reaching out.

There isn’t an easy way to remove them.

We could add a filter for the top bar, but I don’t see a reason to disable the diagnostics notification.
These issues must be solved to get the most out of Simply Static.

Suppose you are confident that a specific plugin works for your site.
In that case, you can filter the list of incompatible plugins and remove a plugin (which also updates the flags on the diagnostics screen):

add_filter( 'ss_incompatible_plugins', function ( $incompatible_plugins ) {
	unset( $incompatible_plugins['plugin-slug'] );
	return $incompatible_plugins;
} );

Cheers,
Patrick

I didn’t have any problems with the plugins recommended below (Cloudflare and WP Search with Algolia)

I also don’t have any problems with WP-CRON, because I use linux’s cronjob

All error values ??from diagnostics are not my problem

But the notification always appears, and there is no option to turn it off

Please add options so I can turn off the top bar and diagnostics notification

Hey @bibica,

convinced – we add a setting to whitelist plugins by slug in the next minor update.
However, I want to give some context to the plugins you’ve mentioned:

WP Search with Algolia:

This one causes a fatal error in combination with Simply Static Pro because both use the same composer package. The plugin is also unprepared for a static site setup (you have to rewrite the URLs manually), so it’s unsuitable for use without modifications.

Cloudflare:

The Cloudflare plugin has zero effect in a static WordPress setup.
While it doesn’t break anything, it also does nothing for you – so why have it in the first place?

WP Cron:

That’s fine, but why don’t you tell Simply Static about it?
As shown in the docs, we have a constant that tells Simply Static there is a UNIX cron in place.

All you have to do is adding the following line in your wp-config.php file:

define('SS_CRON', true);

We will not add an option to disable the topbar (yet).
That might change if we see enough demand for it.

Cheers,
Patrick

Well, let me also explain why I use WP Search with Algolia and Cloudflare

The reason is that I use Simply Static to create a backup site. When the main VPS has a problem, I transfer traffic to the backup site. (domain.com and backup.domain.com)

Regarding the top bar, by default when writing an article, Simply Static has a separate button to update that article, automatically creating all new pages every day.

After the first configuration, I hardly needed to manage anything on Simply Static, so I didn’t completely understand why I had to add that top bar.

My current solution is to go back to v3.1.6.3 ??

@bibica Makes sense!

Haha, fair enough!

I can, at least, add a filter for you to disable it that way.
I’m hesitant to add new options in the UI (because we already have too many, at least in my opinion ??)

Watch out for the update next week!

I don’t think the option to hide the top bar is difficult, every plugin I use has the author’s option to hide or show it.

Hey @bibica,

we noticed that you are sharing Simply Static Pro on the Babiato forum, which is against our terms of service.

I appreciated your feedback, but this isn’t cool.

We will use the contact information provided on your website and escalate that now to our legal agency.

Remember: the code is GPL, but the assets aren’t, and you are using our design in your activation video.

Sorry for the late reply; I just noticed the notification email today.

Yes, I’m sorry for causing you trouble. As for the video, it was probably just a spontaneous moment of mine. Regarding the shared versions, I’ve seen some members ask about them occasionally, so I posted them.

I think that’s all I have to say on this matter; we shouldn’t drift off-topic
