@wpchannel I think @austinginder's code is better than your suggestion because your suggestion removes the entire Yoast menu form the admin bar, whereas @austinginder simply removes the alert bubbles and keeps the menu.
Also, the main code above in this gist doesn't work anymore.
Thanks. I used to love this plugin before they start BS with UI.
Anyone has an idea how to remove the notices generated by wordpress-seo/admin/watchers/class-slug-change-watcher.php? I opened a ticket to have the notices removed but yoast with their uppity refused. Yoast/wordpress-seo#11520
@matto15 this is what I use to hide all of the Yoast crap continually popping up:
add_action('admin_head', 'adminStyles');
function adminStyles() {
echo '<style>
.yoast-alert {
display: none !important;
}
</style>';
}
@Interinactive. Thanks. I will give it a try.
September 2019 checking in, @Interinactive's comment works wonders 👍
There are two areas that could really use being addressed - when using Yoast Premium without activation (which may or may not be within intent of this thread)
- on plugins page -- yoast makes HTTP calls to headquarters
- in yoast seo meta box in post editor -- it loads a warning box using javascript that craftfully loads after everything else so that CSS display none won't work. the js itself is so convoluted that only an expert could unravel it.
would appreciate ideas/fixes for these, thanks
@trivendor How do you make it appear for #2? It's probably not very hard to get around it, but I need to see what you're referring to.
@Interinactive -- thanks for responding, if you go to any post/page/cpt post editor page, there is the Yoast SEO meta box area that features things like snippet editor etc.
Yoast js loads a yellow nag about subscribing
this comes out of wp-seo-premium-metabox-1160.min.js and is likely tied to other js somehow
using CSS display none for the div doesn't work - either because of something in the javascript or that it loads CSS after the admin css or ?
Hi there, I'm the author of the Gist. Since I'm no more using Yoast (I prefer SEOPress with no ads), I can't help you anymore...
@trivendor Still works here. You need to find the name of the div, eg:
https://i.imgur.com/z7CS3yg.png
Then amend the code to include that class:
add_action('admin_head', 'adminStyles');
function adminStyles() {
echo '<style>
.yoast-alert,
.MetaboxWarning__WarningBox-gHrSIw {
display: none !important;
}
</style>';
}
Works perfectly
Nice ! People do need to be aware that each instance adds a variable string... -gHrSIw is not universal and another string will be used.
But this works great, thanks
Yep that's right. And even if they randomised them with each page load, you could still use certain selectors to catch it. Eg: 'container-name + div', and so on.
If this plugin has any semblance of packaging or CI build processing (which is almost certainly has) then this CSS class will not only change between versions, it could also differ between installations. I've inspected the last 4 versions of this plugin and can't find gHrSlw anywhere, likely because I'm only looking at the free versions.
This gist should be converted to a plugin, and the nags should be removed by finding and overriding the injecting hooks instead of somewhat-fragile CSS if possible. I'll try and take a stab at this over the weekend... I'm sure @wpchannel wouldn't mind receiving fewer notifications 😂
@trivendor if you have a second, could I ask you to reach out to me at [email protected]? I've got a question about the plugin version you currently have.
For now, you might consider using CSS wildcard selectors for slightly longer-term relief (untested concept):
add_action('admin_head', 'adminStyles');
function adminStyles() {
echo '<style>
.yoast-alert,
div[class*='MetaboxWarning__WarningBox-'] {
display: none !important;
}
</style>';
}
Hi @emcniece yes the string gHrSlw will change to something else - you'd have to look at the generated css when installed and change snippet accordingly. I will try the div without the exact string next go around but it is working with the edit of my particular instance.
regards
Hi there,
I've found an old mu-plugin in my computer if you wan to try a more complet solution:
`<?php include_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/plugin.php');
if (is_plugin_active('wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php')) {
/* Remove HTML Comments */
add_action('get_header',function() { ob_start(function ($o) {
return preg_replace('/\n?<.*?Yoast SEO plugin.*?>/mi','',$o); }); });
add_action('wp_head',function() { ob_end_flush(); }, 999);
/* Disable Yoast SEO Notifications */
function ntp_disable_yoast_notifications() {
remove_action('admin_notices', array(Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications'));
remove_action('all_admin_notices', array(Yoast_Notification_Center::get(), 'display_notifications'));
}
add_action('admin_init', 'ntp_disable_yoast_notifications');
/* Yoast SEO Low Priority */
function ntp_yoast_bottom() {
return 'low';
}
add_filter('wpseo_metabox_prio', 'ntp_yoast_bottom');
/* Disable screen after update */
function ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option($option) {
if (is_array($option)) {
$option['seen_about'] = true;
}
return $option;
}
add_filter('option_wpseo', 'ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option');
/* Remove Node in Toolbar */
function ntp_remove_yoast_bar($wp_admin_bar) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('wpseo-menu');
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'ntp_remove_yoast_bar', 99);
} ?>`
@wpchannel Thank you, for formatting didn't seem to come through.
For anyone who want's to use this, drop this code in your theme's function.php file
/** Hide Yoast SEO alert from everywhere **/
if (is_plugin_active('wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php')) {
/* Remove HTML Comments */
add_action('get_header',function() { ob_start(function ($o) {
return preg_replace('/\n?<.*?Yoast SEO plugin.*?>/mi','',$o); }); });
add_action('wp_head',function() { ob_end_flush(); }, 999);
/* Disable Yoast SEO Notifications */
function ntp_disable_yoast_notifications() {
$ync = Yoast_Notification_Center::get();
remove_action('admin_notices', array($ync, 'display_notifications'));
remove_action('all_admin_notices', array($ync, 'display_notifications'));
}
add_action('admin_init', 'ntp_disable_yoast_notifications');
/* Yoast SEO Low Priority */
function ntp_yoast_bottom() {
return 'low';
}
add_filter('wpseo_metabox_prio', 'ntp_yoast_bottom');
/* Disable screen after update */
function ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option($option) {
if (is_array($option)) {
$option['seen_about'] = true;
}
return $option;
}
add_filter('option_wpseo', 'ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option');
/* Remove Node in Toolbar */
function ntp_remove_yoast_bar($wp_admin_bar) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('wpseo-menu');
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'ntp_remove_yoast_bar', 99);
}
Thanks!
I'd suggest to don't get the Yoast_Notification_Center instance twice and to check whether the class exists.
// Hide Yoast SEO alert from everywhere.
if ( is_plugin_active( 'wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php' ) ) {
// Remove HTML Comments.
add_action( 'get_header', function() {
ob_start( function( $o ) {
return preg_replace( '/\n?<.*?Yoast SEO plugin.*?>/mi', '', $o );
} );
} );
add_action( 'wp_head', function() { ob_end_flush(); }, 999 );
// Disable Yoast SEO Notifications.
function ntp_disable_yoast_notifications() {
if ( class_exists( 'Yoast_Notification_Center' ) ) {
$ync = Yoast_Notification_Center::get();
remove_action( 'admin_notices', array( $ync, 'display_notifications' ) ) ;
remove_action( 'all_admin_notices', array( $ync, 'display_notifications' ) );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'ntp_disable_yoast_notifications' );
// Yoast SEO Low Priority.
function ntp_yoast_bottom() {
return 'low';
}
add_filter('wpseo_metabox_prio', 'ntp_yoast_bottom');
// Disable screen after update.
function ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option( $option ) {
if ( is_array( $option ) ) {
$option['seen_about'] = true;
}
return $option;
}
add_filter( 'option_wpseo', 'ntp_filter_yst_wpseo_option' );
// Remove Node in Toolbar.
function ntp_remove_yoast_bar( $wp_admin_bar ) {
$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'wpseo-menu' );
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'ntp_remove_yoast_bar', 99 );
}
Since Yoast refuses to cut back on the the upsell spam, here's a snippet to remove all the "You trashed a thing! Buy our premium plugin!" notices that they clutter up the admin dashbaord with. Also recommend looking into the Hide SEO Bloat plugin which basically exists solely to remove all the crap that Yoast adds all over your site. Anyway, put this code in your functions.php (or use something like Code Snippets):
/**
* Unbind Yoast's awful constant upsell notifications whenever you trash/delete anything
*
* @ref: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/blob/0742e9b6ba4c0d6ae9d65223267a106b92a6a4a1/admin/watchers/class-slug-change-watcher.php#L18
* @see: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/352509
*/
function unbind_yoast_slug_change_watchers()
{
$priority = 10;
$actions_methods = [
'wp_trash_post' => 'detect_post_trash',
'before_delete_post' => 'detect_post_delete',
'delete_term_taxonomy' => 'detect_term_delete',
];
global $wp_filter;
foreach ($actions_methods as $action => $method)
{
if (isset($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority]) and ( ! empty($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority])))
{
$wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority] = array_filter($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority], function($v, $k) use ($method) {
return (stripos($k, $method) === false);
}, ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH );
}
}
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'unbind_yoast_slug_change_watchers', 20);Hopefully this makes things a little nicer for anyone using it.
@primathon : thanks for sharing! For me the best solution was to switch to SEOPress. :)
❤️
Can it be the notice is now shown 'through' JS ?
I just noticed a pesky popup showing again after deleting a term (with the function @primathon shared in my functions).
@Beee4life I don't know because I'm using SEOPress PRO for the vast majority of my websites now. No ads.
@wpchannel then why reply if you don't know or even use the plugin (anymore)
Because they're the author of this gist, they get notifications for comments here, and they take responsibility for their work and want to help people that land here? Strange question.
If you mean to say "why reply if you can't answer my question" perhaps consider they did provide a solution, which is to use a different plugin.
We clearly have different opinions on what helpful replies are... because the question at hand is about a notice shown through js. Not whether I should use a different plugin or not... anyway, anyone who reads this, enjoy your day...
@Beee4life I'm the author of this gist, and I'm always trying to answer to comments even after years like I do on hundreds of tutorials published on my blog. The original problem to solve was to hide annoying notifications from Yoast plugin: this gist did the job for years. But now, the answer that I give to people - not only you in my previous answer, is simple: you don't like ads, change your SEO plugin to another. I'm tired of updating my mu-plugins every 6 months just to hide an advert. That's my solution, maybe you prefer another one and if you take time to find the correct hook, I'll be happy to update my gist with your code. ;)
Ok this might be a pretty hack/slash way but I was able to modify the title within the wpseo-menu admin menu using the following code.
Or maybe a CSS injection would be cleaner
