SMNTCS Utilities

Many popular plugins show upgrade offers and ads inside the WordPress admin area. SMNTCS Utilities hides them, so your dashboard stays clean.

It currently hides the ads of:

• All-in-One WP Migration
• Elementor
• Jetpack
• Smush
• Yoast SEO

There are no settings. Activate the plugin and the ads are gone.

1. Upload smntcs-utilities to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

Can you remove the ads that Disqus shows in comments?

No. Disqus shows its ads inside its own comment frame, which a WordPress plugin cannot change. Removing them would also break the Disqus terms of service. Disqus offers an ad-free plan instead.
