Remove top bar and errors diagnostics

Hey @bibica,

thanks for reaching out.

There isn’t an easy way to remove them.

We could add a filter for the top bar, but I don’t see a reason to disable the diagnostics notification.
These issues must be solved to get the most out of Simply Static.

Suppose you are confident that a specific plugin works for your site.
In that case, you can filter the list of incompatible plugins and remove a plugin (which also updates the flags on the diagnostics screen):

add_filter( 'ss_incompatible_plugins', function ( $incompatible_plugins ) {
	unset( $incompatible_plugins['plugin-slug'] );
	return $incompatible_plugins;
} );

Cheers,
Patrick

Hey @bibica,

convinced – we add a setting to whitelist plugins by slug in the next minor update.
However, I want to give some context to the plugins you’ve mentioned:

WP Search with Algolia:

This one causes a fatal error in combination with Simply Static Pro because both use the same composer package. The plugin is also unprepared for a static site setup (you have to rewrite the URLs manually), so it’s unsuitable for use without modifications.

Cloudflare:

The Cloudflare plugin has zero effect in a static WordPress setup.
While it doesn’t break anything, it also does nothing for you – so why have it in the first place?

WP Cron:

That’s fine, but why don’t you tell Simply Static about it?
As shown in the docs, we have a constant that tells Simply Static there is a UNIX cron in place.

All you have to do is adding the following line in your wp-config.php file:

define('SS_CRON', true);

We will not add an option to disable the topbar (yet).
That might change if we see enough demand for it.

Cheers,
Patrick

@bibica Makes sense!

My current solution is to go back to v3.1.6.3 😀

Haha, fair enough!

I can, at least, add a filter for you to disable it that way.
I’m hesitant to add new options in the UI (because we already have too many, at least in my opinion 😅)

Watch out for the update next week!
