About Papy3D NoticeShield
From the official readme · v3.0.3Description
Papy3D NoticeShield keeps the WordPress administration area readable without forcing you to approve every new message.
In the recommended mode, normal notices, errors, security alerts, and confirmations remain visible. Only obvious commercial messages, review requests, and optional telemetry invitations are hidden automatically. Every hidden notice remains available in a local dashboard and can be restored with one click.
Main features
- Simple default behavior: useful notices stay visible.
- One-click “Hide this type” action directly on admin notices.
- Stable notice families that ignore changing IP addresses, dates, times, versions, counters, tokens, and identifiers.
- Conservative automatic filtering for high-confidence promotions only.
- Manual mode that never hides a new notice automatically.
- Optional strict mode for administrators who want to approve every new notice family.
- Reversible family and source rules.
- Hidden-notice shortcut in the admin toolbar.
- Safe handling of WordPress Core workflows and operational notices.
- Server-side blocking for known rules and batched capture for dynamic notices.
- Paginated local history with inert previews.
- JSON rule import and export.
- No tracking, advertising, external service, or commercial prompt.
Notice data is stored locally in dedicated WordPress database tables. No notice is sent to an external service.
Installation
- Upload the
papy3d-noticeshieldfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New. - Activate Papy3D NoticeShield.
- Keep the recommended mode, or choose Manual or Strict under Tools > NoticeShield.
- Click “Hide this type” only when a visible message bothers you.
Existing rules are migrated automatically. Rules created by earlier versions are promoted to the new stable families whenever a stored preview makes that conversion possible.
Frequently asked questions
Will NoticeShield hide important errors automatically?
The recommended mode uses conservative positive and negative signals. Error, security, required-configuration, and WordPress Core notices take priority and remain visible. Unknown notices also remain visible.
Why does a notice with a different IP address stay hidden?
NoticeShield creates a stable family after replacing volatile values such as IPv4, IPv6, dates, times, versions, counters, tokens, and IDs. The message can change without becoming a completely new notice type.
What is the difference between the three modes?
Recommended shows normal notices and hides only high-confidence promotions. Manual shows everything until you hide a type yourself. Strict asks for a choice when a new family appears.
Does the plugin delete notices from another plugin?
No. It only controls their display and keeps a sanitized local review copy.
Can I restore a hidden notice?
Yes. Open Tools > NoticeShield, select Hidden, and click “Show this type”. You can also undo an inline hide immediately from the confirmation message.
Why is source-wide blocking hidden under Advanced tools?
A single plugin source can emit both promotions and important errors. Broad source rules are therefore kept out of the normal workflow and are available only when source detection is sufficiently reliable.
Does it use artificial intelligence or an external service?
No. Classification is deterministic and local. No API key or external connection is required.
What happens on uninstall?
The plugin removes its custom tables, settings, migration options, and temporary messages from every affected site.
