Turn off "Yoast SEO has been updated to version…" message?

yeah.. every time I refresh a freaking page in the dashboard I get the same stupid upgrade message. That banner will NOT GO AWAY.

Yo Yoast. HOW DO WE TURN OFF THAT UPGRADED BANNER. IT KEEPS COMING BACK EVERY FREAKING TIME I TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE DASHBOARD.

We’re aware of the bug and working on a fix, my apologies!

@coffeehereo & DessertGuru, if you update to 3.2.4, the issue should be resolved.
Can you confirm?

I have 4 installs of WordPress. Moving to 3.2.4 fixed 2 of them immediately. The message went away.

For the other 2 installs, the message went away after I did 2 things:
#1 I followed the link in the message
#2 I deactivated and reactivated the plugin

Now it appears to be fixed. The only difference between the installs is the two that fixed immediately were installed on the root folder of my hosting account. The two that required the above 2 steps were in a subfolder.

Thank you for fixing this so fast!

Thanks for your feedback, @coffeehero!

I just updated a site to 3.2.4 and the message persists. Also tried deleting the cache but no joy.

I figured these messages would annoy people, what with the amount of updates lately and the many times this bug has been supposedly fixed, but I had no idea how many. Personally, I don’t get the messages at all, I mean what if every plugin had them? It would be a mess of messages on every update. So in the spirit of peaceful site administration, I’ll pass along this snippet I’ve found somewhere a while back. Add it to your theme’s functions.php file and Yoast SEO will update just as silently as your other plugins.

// disable yoast seo nag messages
if ( class_exists( 'Yoast_Notification_Center' ) ) {
	remove_action( 'admin_notices', array( Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications' ) );
	remove_action( 'all_admin_notices', array( Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications' ) );
}

Thanks, Markus.

Folks at Yoast: please build in an admin option to turn off these “has been updated” notices. I have dozens of sites and am continually closing them on site after site, day after day.

Your plugin is great but the update notices are a pain. As Markus said, what if all plugins did this?

Bug still present:
WP 4.5.2
Wordpress SEO 3.2.5

Not sure why this is marked resolved. It is still a problem.

I marked it resolved because 3.2.24 fixed it for my 4 installs.

However, I’ll reopen the ticket for others that still experiencing this bug.

Ah, thanks coffeehero.

A real PIA with running 30 sites using Yoast and you have to keep clicking the link. Why do plugin creators think they need to keep advertising on the admin screen?

Updated to 3.2.5, and yeah, it’s still there. Horribly annoying, esp. when administering a large number of sites.

@markus Echterhoff: does this still work for you? I’m using v3.2.5 and your script in my functions.php but the nag still shows up, I can’t get rid of it.
