Dismissing Notices

Designated users can permanently dismiss info and nag notices. Here’s how dismissal works for each notice type.

Notice Types and Dismiss Behavior

Notice Type	CSS Class	Who Sees It	Dismiss Button
Error	.notice-error	Everyone	No (untouched)
Warning	.notice-warning	Everyone	No (untouched)
Success	.notice-success	Everyone	No (untouched)
Info	.notice-info	Designated users	Yes (persistent)
Generic nag	.notice (no severity)	Designated users	Yes (persistent)
Update nag	.update-nag	Designated users	No

How to Dismiss

Click the X button on any info or generic nag notice. The notice animates out and is recorded in the database. On future page loads, the notice is hidden before it renders.

Hidden Notices Banner

When one or more notices have been dismissed on the current page, a banner appears above the page content showing how many notices are hidden. Click the Show button to temporarily reveal them (at reduced opacity). Click Hide to collapse them again.

What If a Notice Changes?

Each notice is identified by a hash of its text content. If a plugin updates its notice text (for example, from “Update available: 1.2” to “Update available: 1.3”), it will be treated as a new notice and will appear again.
