  • Quick way to remove banners

    Lets you describe each filter to make them easy to find. Would have been nice to be able to disable individual filters to be able to interact with info banners when necessary, but that is a minor want. Simply disable the entire plugin when needed and reenable it once done.

  • Very simple to use and helps to hide away clutter

    I've been writing routines to try and clean the dashboard but this is far easier and lightweight. I love how you are just able to click and point to the element you want hidden, worked like a charm with WordPress 4.9.8
