This plugin removes the WordPress update nag that appears at the top of all admin pages when a new version of WordPress is released.
Tired of WordPress nagging you about a new release? Maybe you already know about it and want to hold off on an update and would rather not see the update nag on every admin page you visit. Activate this plugin and be bothered no more!
The status of your version of WordPress (be it current or out-of-date) is still reflected in the footer of your admin pages and in the update count link in the admin bar.
And certainly, of course, I don’t advocate completely ignoring the fact that updates often contain fixes for critical bugs or exploits. However, there are various other means of learning about updates; and once known, not everyone is able or willing to update immediately.

No Update Nag

does what it says on the tin

Removes the WordPress update nag that appears at the top of all admin pages when a new version of WordPress is released.

Many plugins flood your wp-admin with:
<ul>
<li>“Go Pro / Upgrade” boxes</li>
<li>Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales</li>
<li>“Please rate us 5-stars” notices</li>
</ul>
Bros Clean Admin – Hide Dashboard Ads quietly removes that noise so you can focus on your work.
What it does:
<ul>
<li>Hides most dashboard promo widgets and sale banners</li>
<li>Hides annoying “Rate us / Leave a review” nags</li>
<li>Hides common plugin promo boxes on settings pages</li>
<li>Keeps core error/warning notices visible</li>
<li>Simple options page under Settings → Clean Admin</li>
<li>Supports translations via <code>bros-clean-admin-hide-dashboard-ads</code> text domain</li>
<li>Custom promo/review keyword lists for power users</li>
<li>Settings reset to defaults with one click</li>
<li>Shows a quick activation notice with direct Settings link</li>
</ul>
This plugin only runs in <code>wp-admin</code> and does not affect your frontend.

<h3>Advanced Usage</h3>
<h4>Custom Keywords</h4>
You can add your own keywords to hide specific promotions or review requests. For example:
<ul>
<li>To hide “Early Bird” offers: add <code>early bird</code> to Custom Promo Keywords.</li>
<li>To hide “Beta Tester” requests: add <code>beta tester</code> to Custom Review Keywords.</li>
</ul>
Each field accepts a comma-separated list of phrases. Matching is done in a simple “contains text” way, case-insensitive.
<h4>Hooks for Developers</h4>
You can filter the default keyword lists using these filters:
<ul>
<li><code>brosclad_promo_words</code> – filter the default promo words array.</li>
<li><code>brosclad_review_words</code> – filter the default review words array.</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'brosclad_promo_words', function( $words ) { $words[] = 'early bird'; return $words; } );
</code></pre>
