For example: * To hide “Early Bird” offers: add `early bird` to **Custom Promo Keywords**. * To hide “Beta Tester” requests: add `beta tester` to **Custom Review Keywords**. Each field accepts a comma-separated list of phrases. Matching is done in a simple“ contains text” way, case-insensitive. #### Hooks for Developers You can filter the default keyword lists using these filters: * `brosclad_promo_words` – filter the default promo words array. * `brosclad_review_words` – filter the default review words array. Example: ``` add_filter( 'brosclad_promo_words', function( $words ) { $words[] = 'early bird'; return $words; } ); ``` ## Screenshots [⌊Cleaned-up dashboard with most promo boxes removed.⌉⌊Cleaned-up dashboard with most promo boxes removed.⌉[ Cleaned-up dashboard with most promo boxes removed. ## Installation 1.

No. Clean Admin only runs in the WordPress admin area (`/wp-admin`). ### Will it hide core error messages? The plugin tries to keep anything that looks like a real error or warning (for example WordPress core error notices). It mainly targets promotional, upsell, and review messages. ### Can this break a plugin? It only hides UI elements with CSS/JS based on their text content and classes. It does not disable hooks or remove code, so in normal cases it should not break functionality. ### Does it support Elementor / similar plugins? Yes, Clean Admin can hide many Elementor / ElementsKit / other plugin promo boxes and review nags, but it cannot guarantee 100% coverage for every plugin. ### Where is the Settings link? On the Plugins page, there is a direct **Settings** link under Clean Admin, or go to **Settings Clean Admin**. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Bros Clean Admin – Hide Dashboard Ads” is open source software.
