Siteorigin installer

Hi danniee

Thanks for posting and for your support; it’s most appreciated.

The SiteOrigin Installer replaces our usage of TGM Plugin Activation to suggest plugins. TGM is occasionally misconfigured by third-party authors, potentially leading to an error. In the next release, we’ll introduce a setting at Settings > Page Builder: General to disable the Installer admin menu item. We’ll have the next release out within the next 48 to 72hrs.

Hi Andrew, appreciate the reply and the upcoming option for this. So, just to confirm. This is normal and not something wrong with my site?

You’re most welcome.

The admin menu item is added by the SiteOrigin Installer. Nothing is wrong with your site. We’ll add a setting to remove the menu item within the next few days.

Thank you sir ??

Thanks for your understanding. We’ll follow-up after the next release. Chat then. Cheers ??

Hi again. The next release with a setting to disable the SiteOrigin admin menu item is delayed by a few days. It’s possible to send a version allowing the menu item to be removed via a filter. The filter can be added via the Code Snippets plugin, a custom plugin, or a child theme. Please let me know if you’d like me to send that early release version.

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew, that is not necessary. I appreciate the update and the support you give here. Very nice of you.

Thanks for your understanding and support; it’s most appreciated. We’ll be in touch next week. Cheers.

Hi, the new setting is available at Settings > Page Builder > General. Thanks.

Is it possible to uncheck the Site Origin Installer by default. Running your theme on Multisite setup and do not want have to go through dozens of sites to update?

Hi,

You can disable the Installer by default by filtering siteorigin_add_installer. For example, the following PHP will change the default state to disabled:

add_filter( 'siteorigin_add_installer', function() {
	if( get_option( 'siteorigin_installer' ) === false ) {
		return false;
	}
}, 11 );

If you would like to add this script to your multisite but don’t have a method of adding PHP, I’ve prepared a plugin that you can install that adds the above code. You can download that plugin by clicking here. Once downloaded, open your Multisite plugin page and click Add New, Upload Plugin and upload siteorigin-installer-disable-by-default.zip.

Kind regards,
Alex

Alex,

Add as a function to the child theme. Works like a charm.

Thanks!

Hi,
