Dismiss Privacy Nag

6 — partially GDPR OFF) and admin notification, when it is activated, or if it is in mu-plugins directory.

Development takes place at GitHub and Travis CI. Compatible with GlotPress Translations.

Approved in the repository of the plugin directory on 2018-05-09

If you need to completely disable and remove all Privacy Tools, Privacy Pointers, Privacy Notifications Nag, you can use “ Dismiss Privacy Tools “.

Features:

Based to the Detailed Guidelines 11 principle: should not hijack the admin dashboard.

• Users prefer and expect plugins to feel like part of WordPress.

• Constant nags and overwhelming the admin dashboard with unnecessary alerts detract from this experience.

• Upgrade prompts, notices, alerts, and the like must be limited in scope and used sparingly, be that contextually or only on the plugin’s setting page.

• Site wide notices or embedded dashboard widgets must be dismissible or self-dismiss when resolved.

• Error messages and alerts must include information on how to resolve the situation, and remove themselves when completed.

Because I made this?

Seem that the new privacy pointer is not totally auto dismissible when is clicked one of the any admin menu links, for example:

• If one of the any admin menu links was clicked, the privacy pointer disappear.

• If the dasboard admin menu link was clicked, the privacy pointer not disappear, return visible, and nagging user.

• The privacy pointer covers the thing it’s pointing at.

• The privacy pointer popup covers collapsed admin menu?

• The privacy pointer is misaligned to admin menu when exist other admin menu items of 3rd party?

• Don’t show privacy feature pointer to new users: doesn’t add the new callback to the dismissed_wp_pointers meta.

• The suggested code to auto dismiss it seem to not working well — remove_action( ‘admin_print_footer_scripts’, array( ‘WP_Internal_Pointers’, ‘pointer_wp496_privacy’ ) );

• The remove_action for pointer_wp496_privacy needed to be called from the admin_enqueue_scripts action with a priority of 11.

6:

• The new features are very important for some users, because of their GDPR obligations.

• They’re also spread across multiple top-level menus, making them less discoverable.

• An admin pointer will help to ensure that users are aware of the new tools and how to find them.
