Remove action: pending_user_notices

Hi again @rumesh38,

Isn’t wp_head a themes action? I mean, the notices fires on dashboard action ‘admin_notices’, not in frontend. Here is a capture of the message ‘pending_users_notices’ method shows:

I already tried with:

// Hook 'admin_notices' with priority 20:
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'remove_ur_action', 20 );
// Hook 'admin_notices' with priority  5:
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'remove_ur_action', 5 );
// Hook 'admin_notices' with priority 10 (default):
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'remove_ur_action' );
// Hook 'init' with priority 20:
add_action( 'init', 'remove_ur_action', 20 );
// Hook 'init' with priority  5:
add_action( 'init', 'remove_ur_action', 5 );
// Hook 'init' with priority 10 (default):
add_action( 'init', 'remove_ur_action' );
function remove_ur_action(){
  remove_action( 'admin_notices', array( 'UR_Admin_User_List_Manager', 'pending_users_notices' ) );
}

But still don’t works. In WordPress Developer Resources says “If an action has been added from within a class, for example by a plugin, removing it will require accessing the class variable.” and shows this example code:

global $my_class;
remove_action( 'the_content', array( $my_class, 'class_filter_function' ) );

Does User Registration use a global variable for the class «UR_Admin_User_List_Manager»?

Thanks for offer a custom fix. I already fixed it commenting the line :33. But this solution did not satisfy me, so I searched for a better way.

The remove_action core function work very limited with methods from a class. The unique way to remove a method usint it is when the class was instatiate in a global variable. It isn’t the case of The UR_Admin_User_List_Manager class I need to access.

Browsing the Internet, I found this link where there is a custom function that extends the WP Filter API:

function remove_class_action($tag, $class = '', $method, $priority = null) : bool {
  global $wp_filter;

  if (isset($wp_filter[$tag])) {
    $len = strlen($method);

    foreach($wp_filter[$tag] as $_priority => $actions) {

      if ($actions) {
        foreach($actions as $function_key => $data) {

          if ($data) {
            if (substr($function_key, -$len) == $method) {

              if ($class !== '') {
                $_class = '';
                if (is_string($data['function'][0])) {
                  $_class = $data['function'][0];
                }
                elseif (is_object($data['function'][0])) {
                  $_class = get_class($data['function'][0]);
                }
                else {
                  return false;
                }

                if ($_class !== '' && $_class == $class) {
                  if (is_numeric($priority)) {
                    if ($_priority == $priority) {
                      //if (isset( $wp_filter->callbacks[$_priority][$function_key])) {}
                      return $wp_filter[$tag]->remove_filter($tag, $function_key, $_priority);
                    }
                  }
                  else {
                    return $wp_filter[$tag]->remove_filter($tag, $function_key, $_priority);
                  }
                }
              }
              else {
                if (is_numeric($priority)) {
                  if ($_priority == $priority) {
                    return $wp_filter[$tag]->remove_filter($tag, $function_key, $_priority);
                  }
                }
                else {
                  return $wp_filter[$tag]->remove_filter($tag, $function_key, $_priority);
                }
              }

            }
          }
        }
      }
    }

  }
  return false;
}

This function allows you to disable any action or filter inside a class not instantiated. I used this code to fix the issue without worry about overriden by updates:

add_action('plugins_loaded', function() {    
  remove_class_action('admin_notices', 'UR_Admin_User_List_Manager', 'pending_users_notices');
});

Thanks again for your help 😉
