Notice Visibility Settings
The Show notices to setting controls which administrators see info notices, plugin nags, and update notices. This setting does not affect errors, warnings, or success notices — those are always visible to everyone.
All Administrators (Default)
When set to All administrators, every user with the manage_options capability sees all notice types. This is the default behavior and requires no configuration.
Specific Users
When set to Specific users, a checklist of all administrator accounts appears. Only the checked users will see info nags and update notices. All other administrators will see a clean admin with only errors, warnings, and success notices.
How to Configure
- Go to Settings > Admin Notices.
- Select Specific users.
- Check the administrators who should see info nags and update notices.
- Click Save Changes.
What Non-Designated Users See
Non-designated administrators see a completely clean admin dashboard. All .notice-info, generic .notice, and .update-nag elements are hidden via CSS that loads before the page renders — there is no flash of content.
Non-designated users can still see:
- Error notices (
.notice-error) — red border - Warning notices (
.notice-warning) — yellow border - Success notices (
.notice-success) — green border
