Hi @krstarica. Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.
This is a checkbox to disable this via the “Dashboard” screen in this plugin.
When releasing this update we did debate whether to enable this by default or not. We decided “yes” because it can be easily disabled and is just a visual change that can be reverted with a click.

We’ve been using your plugin for years and did not find that option nor changelog was clear enough about this major change. It’s not “just a visual change”.
It should be disabled definitely, because it changes regular WordPress behavior.
Many thanks.
Understood, thanks @krstarica. It’s highly unlikely we’ll ever make a change like this again.
We’ll keep listening to feedback and will consider changing the default.
I note the appearance of the “Admin Notices” icon on the admin top menu bar. I must have missed it, but I presume this was enabled in the last update (2.19.0 or 2.19.1). It appears on ALL my roles that have some admin rights even though those role functionalities are restricted through Capabilities Pro. This has caused some confusion with my role managers.
There appears to be a role by role disable/enable function in “Capabilities > Settings” however it seems to have no affect. The option remains
I can disable it via the “Capabilities > Dashboard” however this disables it all all roles.
If “Admin Notices” are disabled in Capabilities Pro, where can they be viewed?
Hi @lowercase99. Thanks for using PublishPress.
You can disable this feature entirely via the “Dashboard” screen in the plugin. You can get more detailed control over the feature via the “Settings” screen – I’ve tested today and it does work as intended.
Thanks Steve
After reading the documentation (publishpress.com/knowledge-base/admin-notices-feature/) I now understand that when “Admin Notices” are enabled via the Capabilities Dashboard, ALL Roles will have the “Admin Notices” button/label. Access to the actual admin notices information is controlled, on a role-by-role basis, by “Capabilities > Settings” and the “Admin Notices” tab
I would prefer that the actual “Admin Notices” button/label can be removed from the top bar menu on a role-by-role basis as some of my role managers have been curious/confused about this new option. Not having it appear at all removes the curiosity, but having it there for some Roles is helpful.
Can this be done?
Riza – got your message and I will follow the guidelines next time 🙂

Yup, this could be done using the PublishPress Capabilities Pro version.
