About this plugin

Take Control of Your Dashboard with Notice Vault

Every WordPress admin knows the feeling: you open your dashboard, and it’s buried under a pile of plugin notices, update nags, “thanks for installing” notices, and review requests. The important warnings get lost in the noise — and the noise never stops.

Notice Vault captures every admin notice as it fires and moves it into one tidy popup. Your dashboard stays quiet, and nothing is thrown away — each notice waits in the popup until you are ready to read it.

Hide Admin Notices Without Losing Them

Most plugins that hide admin notices simply delete the markup, and the message is gone for good. Notice Vault works differently: it hides admin notices from the dashboard and keeps a copy of every one of them in your own database. You get a calm screen and the full record of what WordPress, your plugins and your theme tried to tell you.

All Your Dashboard Notifications in One Place

Captured dashboard notifications are sorted into six categories — success, error, warning, info, system and non-standard — and presented together in a single popup with category filters, an Unread/All toggle and a live counter in the admin bar. Instead of scrolling past a wall of alerts on every single admin page, you glance at one number and open the vault when it suits you.

Read, Keep or Dismiss Notices on Your Terms

Mark notices as read one at a time or in bulk, and dismiss notices you have already dealt with so they stop coming back. Read state is stored per user, so every administrator keeps their own view of the vault. Anything you leave alone expires automatically after a number of days you choose.

You Decide Which Admin Notices Get Hidden

Nothing disappears behind your back. Each of the six notice types carries its own rule: Show in popup moves that category off the dashboard, Do nothing leaves it exactly where WordPress put it. Error notices and WordPress core update and security nags stay on the dashboard by default, so critical alerts are never hidden from you.

🔥 Why you’ll Love it 🔥

  • Simplify Your Workspace: Move noisy admin notices out of the dashboard and into a dedicated popup.
  • Nothing Gets Lost: Hide admin notices without deleting them — every captured notice stays readable in the vault.
  • Improve Productivity: Focus on your work and your content instead of closing endless alert boxes.
  • Granular Control: Configure every notice category separately — send it to the popup or leave it alone.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Admin-only by design. Zero overhead on the front end.

⚡ Key Features

  • Capture & Centralize: Admin notices fired through admin_notices, network_admin_notices, user_admin_notices, and all_admin_notices are captured into a single popup.
  • Per-Type Rules: Configure each of the six notice categories (success, error, warning, info, system, non-standard) to either show in the popup or stay on the dashboard as usual.
  • Admin Bar Counter: A “Notices” item appears in the WordPress admin bar with a live unread counter and a quick preview of your most recent dashboard notifications.
  • Three Popup Styles: Pick between Slide from Right (default), Modal Popup (centered), or Slide from Right (Large) for bigger screens.
  • Mark as Read & Dismiss Notices: Clear notices individually or in bulk, or dismiss them entirely. Read state is per-user, so each admin keeps their own view.
  • Auto-Expire: Notices older than a configurable number of days (default 30, range 1–365) are removed automatically by a daily cron job.
  • Privacy-First: All notices are stored locally in your WordPress database. No external services, no tracking, no phone-home.

Questions

How do I hide admin notices in WordPress?

Install Notice Vault and activate it — that is the whole setup. From that moment the plugin captures admin notices as they fire and moves them into the Notices popup instead of printing them on your dashboard. If you want a category to keep rendering in place, set it to “Do nothing” at Notice Vault → Settings.

Does this plugin hide all admin notices?

No, you have full control. Each notice type can be configured separately to either show in the popup (out of the dashboard) or stay exactly where it is. Error notices, and WordPress core update and security nags, are left on the dashboard by default.

Will I miss important notices?

No. Hidden notices are not deleted — they are stored and listed in the popup, and the admin bar shows a live counter of how many dashboard notifications you have not read yet.

Where do my dashboard notifications go once they are captured?

Into a table in your own WordPress database, and from there into the Notices popup. You can filter them by type, switch between Unread and All, and load older ones as you scroll. Nothing is ever sent anywhere else.

Can I dismiss notices permanently?

Yes. Mark notices as read to clear the unread counter, or dismiss notices outright to remove them from the vault. You can also mark all as read or clear everything in one action, and whatever you leave behind is auto-removed once it passes the expiry window.

Does this work with multisite?

Notice Vault runs per-site on a multisite network — activate it on each subsite you want to manage. Network-wide automatic activation and shared notice storage across the network are not currently supported.

Will this slow down my site?

No! The plugin uses lazy loading, transient caching, and minimal database queries. It runs in the admin only, so it has zero impact on frontend performance.

Can I customize the pop-up appearance?

Yes! You can choose from 3 popup styles: Slide from Right, Modal Popup, or Slide from Right (Large).
