Description

Hide Welcome Messages and Tips, and disable default full screen mode in the Gutenberg Block Editor

Please follow the standard installation procedure for WordPress plugins.

Follow this tutorial if you are not sure how to use the plugin.

Why would I use this?

  • Useful if you already know your way around Gutenberg and you don’t want to see the popups.
  • Anther great use case is E2E testing. Just enable this plugin in your testing environment.

Perfect!

Exactly what I was looking for and it works perfectly
I don't understand why web developers have to create all these annoying pop-ups. And why they don't go away especially when you login to a site and close the pop-up right away!

Great little plugin!

Thanks for making & sharing this plugin, and ending our frustration of this annoyance.

Great Idea!

Thank you ever so much for this little plugin. Probably most WP users would like to install it, immediately, if only they knew it exists.

OMG Thank You

Thanks for killing off the perpetually annoying "Welcome to the Block Editor" message, which has been welcoming me to the Block Editor every time I log in for years. It's also helpful to have the full dashboard interface when in edit mode!

Yay!!

I have been waiting and waiting for WP to add a way to disable this message. It WAS soooo annoying! Thanks so much!

Thanks

This plugin does exactly what it says it will do. Finally got rid of those annoying Welcome screens!

Finally no more popups!

Thank you so much for this plugin! The welcome message and popups have been so annoying. I never understood why the corresponding preferences are not stored server-side so users get the same experience no matter from where and with whatever browser they log in.

Well that was easy

Helped when trying to White label a site and the pop up for the editor shows links to WordPress. Thanks!

Thank you!
