  • Perfect!

    Exactly what I was looking for and it works perfectlyI don't understand why web developers have to create all these annoying pop-ups. And why they don't go away especially when you login to a site and close the pop-up right away!

  • Great little plugin!

    Thanks for making & sharing this plugin, and ending our frustration of this annoyance.

  • Great Idea!

    Thank you ever so much for this little plugin. Probably most WP users would like to install it, immediately, if only they knew it exists.

  • OMG Thank You

    Thanks for killing off the perpetually annoying "Welcome to the Block Editor" message, which has been welcoming me to the Block Editor every time I log in for years. It's also helpful to have the full dashboard interface when in edit mode!
