Advertising unacceptable

Add code copying from the following link in functions.php

@pluginswoo I’ve said it before and I’ll say it here again – that is not an acceptable solution. At all. Those notices should be displayed only on your settings page & be easily hide-able. Right now I can’t even hide it (clicking close button does nothing).

Such intrusive advertising is not ok. Asking me to jump through hoops like adding code snippets/filters to functions.php, just to get rid of obnoxious advertisement, is wrong. It doesn’t make me want to buy a premium version, it makes me want to switch to another plugin instead. Which I probably will..

I’m just annoyed that I have to remember to add this script on all of my client’s sites, where all they need is a simple variation swatch manager (i.e. they don’t need any of the Pro features). Some of them don’t even have a custom theme. So I have to either create a custom micro-plugin or use Code Snippets just for this stupid filter snippet.

Also, that snippet can be reduced to just 1 line and work just as well:

add_filter( 'stop_gwp_live_feed', '__return_true' );

Resolved with todays update (version 1.0.82). The advertising now appears on the settings page of the plugin only – which is absolutely fine, even the greatest players like yoast have ads on their plugin settings pages.
