 * Hey [@bibica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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):
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'ss_incompatible_plugins', function ( $incompatible_plugins ) {	unset( $incompatible_plugins['plugin-slug'] );	return $incompatible_plugins;} );
       ```
   
 * Cheers,
   Patrick

 * I didn’t have any problems with the plugins recommended below (Cloudflare and
   WP Search with Algolia)
 * I also don’t have any problems with WP-CRON, because I use linux’s cronjob
 * All error values ​​from diagnostics are not my problem
 * But the notification always appears, and there is no option to turn it off
 * Please add options so I can turn off the top bar and diagnostics notification

 * Hey [@bibica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       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

 * Well, let me also explain why I use WP Search with Algolia and Cloudflare
 * The reason is that I use Simply Static to create a backup site. When the main
   VPS has a problem, I transfer traffic to the backup site. (domain.com and backup.
   domain.com)
 * Regarding the top bar, by default when writing an article, Simply Static has 
   a separate button to update that article, automatically creating all new pages
   every day.
 * After the first configuration, I hardly needed to manage anything on Simply Static,
   so I didn’t completely understand why I had to add that top bar.
 * My current solution is to go back to v3.1.6.3 😀

 * [@bibica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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!

 * I don’t think the option to hide the top bar is difficult, every plugin I use
   has the author’s option to hide or show it.

 * Hey [@bibica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bibica/),
 * we noticed that you are sharing Simply Static Pro on the Babiato forum, which
   is against our terms of service.
 * I appreciated your feedback, but this isn’t cool.
 * We will use the contact information provided on your website and escalate that
   now to our legal agency.

 * Sorry for the late reply; I just noticed the notification email today.
 * Yes, I’m sorry for causing you trouble. As for the video, it was probably just
   a spontaneous moment of mine. Regarding the shared versions, I’ve seen some members
   ask about them occasionally, so I posted them.
 * I think that’s all I have to say on this matter; we shouldn’t drift off-topic
