# Web push enabled by default

 * Since the latest update (3.2.0) the Web push functionality seems to be enabled
   by default and the admin bar item is always visible. But there is no setting 
   to disable it in the settings screen.
 * The doc block for the `SIB_Push_Utils::is_push_active` says, that it checks whether
   the “_user hasn’t explicitly deactivated push (pushDeactivated in settings is
   false)_. But it doesn’t really check for the setting – it just get’s the settings
   and then does nothing:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $settings = SIB_Push_Settings::getSettings();			// Check push application			try {				$app = self::get_push_application();				if (!$app) return false;				return self::application_is_active($app);			} catch (Exception $e) {				SIB_Push_Utils::log_error('Could not get application', $e);				return false;			}
       ```
   
 * `get_push_application` calls `getWonderPushCredentials` which always returns 
   Credentials as long as a V3 API key is configured.
 * **Request:**
 * I’d like a way to disable the push functionality.
 * **Manual Workaround:**
 * Remove the following hook
 * `add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', _array_( 'SIB_Push_Admin', 'add_admin_bar_menu_item'),
   100);` (Added in SIB_Manager constructor)

 * Please REMOVE the web push in the admin bar. It is very annoying.

   Brevo’s engineering has implemented changes to address the Web Push functionality
   and admin bar visibility issue; Can you let us know if the problem still persists?

 * I also don’t see a new version of the plugin for updating or on the repository
   page – still says 3.2.0 from 1 week ago is the newest one.

 * Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the inconvenience. We just released
   new update this morning. Can you try again? Once updated, could you let us know
   if the issue persists?

 * I’ve updated the plugin to 3.2.1:
    - ⚠️ WP Admin Bar item is still visible by default
    - ✅ Can be disabled by going to Web Puh settings and clicking “hide wp admin
      bar item”.
    - **Imho this should be opt-in and hidden by default. **
    - ⚠️I can only “activate” web push in setings but not disable the complete functionality.
    - ⚠️Brevo web push meta box is **visible by default** on all content pages in**
      high** priority on side. Please remove this.
    - ✅Yoast SEO Metaboxes and primary term functionality seem to work correctly
      again.

 * Hi [@gaambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gaambo/) thanks for the update.
 * You can hide admin shortcut [here](https://snipboard.io/MdBFG2.jpg) or from the
   web push [settings page](https://snipboard.io/AnhC8J.jpg) if it is activated.
   We’ll note your suggestion to hide web push by default. The plugin update aims
   to help all users boost their marketing funnels across Email, SMS, WhatsApp, 
   and Web Push with one tool.
 * Regarding your two points:
    - You can activate web push in settings, but not fully disable it.
    - The Brevo web push meta box appears by default on all content pages, prioritized
      on the side.
 * Does this affect core website functions or daily operations on builder, or is
   it just a cosmetic issue?
 * Appreciate your help in suggestions to make the experience better for everyone.

 * My wish would be to disable the dashboard widget and the meta box, when the feature
   is not enabled. I understand those can be handy, when web push is used – but 
   that’s not the case. I can hide the widget and meta box manually (for every user)
   or write code to disable them, but still.
 * You’re right, it does not “affect core website functionality”, but it massively
   clutters the wp-admin experience on every screen for a feature that is not enabled.
 * Thank you for the quick update though!
