  • Works Perfectly

    Upon using it on my production site, I see that the plugin works perfectly. However, I see the following message on Query Monitor: Warning Trying to access array offset on value of type bool wp-content/plugins/hide-link/inc/hide-link-front.php:1093 Plugin: hide-link

  • Perfect for what I needed!

    Don't let the few reviews fool you! This plugin is simple and perfect! I was looking for an easy way to hide some links and my email address. Other plugins use a shortcode which didn't always work in different parts of my website. This method works nearly all the time. I ran into one small issue when I tried to put #hide-this-link into a Spectra list block that I had put into a footer widget area. (I'm guessing there was just too much going on.) So, I just changed it to the regular bullet list block and it worked fine.

  • Issue fixed

    I'm the author. This plugin became invisible after it received a bad review.The bad review was given because of a fixed issue, so I want people to see the plugin again in the search results. It works and can be useful to many users.
