Many plugins flood your wp-admin with:

• “Go Pro / Upgrade” boxes
• Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales
• “Please rate us 5-stars” notices

Bros Clean Admin – Hide Dashboard Ads quietly removes that noise so you can focus on your work.

What it does:

• Hides most dashboard promo widgets and sale banners
• Hides annoying “Rate us / Leave a review” nags
• Hides common plugin promo boxes on settings pages
• Keeps core error/warning notices visible
• Simple options page under Settings → Clean Admin
• Supports translations via bros-clean-admin-hide-dashboard-ads text domain
• Custom promo/review keyword lists for power users
• Settings reset to defaults with one click
• Shows a quick activation notice with direct Settings link

This plugin only runs in wp-admin and does not affect your frontend.

Advanced Usage

Custom Keywords

You can add your own keywords to hide specific promotions or review requests. 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; } );
