Never mind. I deleted Widget Logic plugin. Problem solved 🙂
Yup that fixes it. What a joke. Developers turned spammers.
Well you can cleanup it yourself – see lines 45-62 in widget_logic.php:
if ( is_admin() )
{
if ( get_option('widget_logic_version') != WIDGET_LOGIC_VERSION )
widget_logic_activate();
if ( !file_exists(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.'/limit-login-attempts-reloaded') && current_user_can('install_plugins') )
{
$promo = (array)get_option( 'wpchefgadget_promo', array() );
if ( empty( $promo['limit-login-attempts'] ) )
{
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'widget_logic_promo');
add_action( 'network_admin_notices', 'widget_logic_promo');
add_action( 'wp_ajax_wpchefgadget_dissmiss_promo', 'widgel_logic_dissmiss_promo' );
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'widget_logic_promo_scripts' );
}
//enqueue admin/js/updates.js
}
}
yes. Developers turned spammers.
Unfortunately that is very common nowadays with old WordPress plugins that already has large user base 🙁
@kelmas
there seems to be 3 more spam functions in it ‘widget_logic_promo’, ‘widgel_logic_dissmiss_promo’ (note the typo) and ‘widget_logic_promo_scripts’.
what a cheap way forcing spam to 300000 admin users with a missleading security message
Uninstalled.
And I install this: Widget Options
I have notified [email protected] about this. It will hopefully be resolved soon.
Also uninstalled due to this new spam message.

According to ww.wp.xz.cn, this is acceptable practice, so the plugin will stay as-is. 🙁
well so maybe i will fork it in the next days and make my own of it without commercials.
I did the same!
Thank you for your suggestion 😉
remove_action( ‘admin_notices’, ‘widget_logic_alert’);
remove_action( ‘network_admin_notices’, ‘widget_logic_alert’);
remove_action( ‘wp_ajax_wpchefgadget_dismiss_alert’, ‘widget_logic_dismiss_alert’ );
remove_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, ‘widget_logic_alert_scripts’ );
This is typical abuse of the admin_notices hook when a plugin gets taken over by a new author that probably bought it just for this purpose.
Instead of using remove_action you can just comment the code which adds action 😉
