Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the settings page?

The plugin has no settings page, it works without any need to configure it. If you are still seeing some unwanted banners, see below.

A plugin I’m using is still showing banners or notifications!

Clarity works using a visual block list, similar to a browser ad blocker. Plugins have to be added manually.
You can create an issue to ask for a plugin to be supported.
You can also make a GitHub pull requst to the official block list –
in that case, add an entry to the definitions.txt file with a CSS selector that hides the notification.

How can I manually refresh the definitions list?

You can click the “Refresh definitions” link in the plugins list to manually update the definitions from our repository.

I am a plugin or theme author, how can I avoid being filtered?

Please create an issue and select “Ask for filter removal”.

Generally, your plugin must fulfill the following:
– Your notifications are shown only on an option page that belongs to your plugin, and nowhere else.
– Your notifications are shown only for Administrator role users.
– You have unique CSS classes to make it easy to identify different types of notifications that you use.
