Hi, guys:

do you know how to remove the persistent nagging of Yoast?

After installing the Yoast SEO Premimu plugin, this message below perched on top of my WordPress Admin page permanently with a big red bar in front of it. Very annoying. Any advice on how to remove it would be highly appreciated!

Warning! You didn’t set your Yoast SEO Premium license key yet, which means you’re missing out on updates and support! Enter your license key or get a license here.

Cheers!

If you like to dive into your functions.php you can check this out:

Links to Github:
Remove Yoast SEO nag after update

or maybe this will help with the Yoast premium version:

Did it work? And in case of a yes: option A or B? Maybe nice for others to know which route you went.

Merry xmas

I have not implemented either just yet, still reading on the both options.
For option A, do I need to copy the whole thing into my funtions.php? I guess I need to create a Child theme for this? otherwise, it will get lost during next theme update?

Happy Holidays to you too!

Hi,

Yes: for option A it is best to create a child theme and add the content to the functions.php file. You could create a very basic child theme with the minimum required files.

You could also create a plugin and add the content from option A. A great plugin to create a plugin is Pluginception and can be found on the official WordPress plugin repo here

The benifit of this is that you can change theme whenever you like and keep the plugin running.

Just a quick feedback, Claude, tried option B, the plug in got good reviews, but it does not work for my purpose, that Yoast nagging message still sit on top of Admin page after I installed and activated it.

Hi,

I have looked into this a bit further and I am afraid it will need some custom css in the admin pages to hide the Yoast nag. I will see if I can find the time to figure out a solution. ATM the best (savest) way is to simply hide the div.error with visibility: none.

Hi,

add this to your functions.php
```
// remove yoast premium seo nag from admin dashboard
add_action('admin_head', 'remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page');

function remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page() {
	echo '<style>
		div.error {
			display: none;
		}
	</style>';
}
```
A more elegant and theme switching proof way would be to create a plugin and add the content in there. Try pluginception to create one.

Hope that helps

Since I was busy I created a full blown plugin to remove the license nag.

No idea if a link to Dropbox is appreciated here, but in case not, here are the steps.

1: create a directory (folder) and give it a name. I.e. “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin” (do not add the beginning ” and closing ” !);
2: in this directory create a file and give it a name. I.e “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin”;
2a: make sure the file end with .php I.e. “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin.php”;
3: add the following content to your “remove-yoast-seo-premium-license-nag-from-admin.php file::
```
<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Remove Yoast SEO Premium License Nag
 * Plugin URI: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo-premium/
 * Description: Removes the Yoast SEO Premium license nag from your WordPress Dashboard. If you like this plugin buy a license key and receive support.
 * Author: !yoast_de_valk
 * Author URI: https://yoast.com/about-us/joost-de-valk/
 * Version: 1.0.0
 * License: GPL2+
 */

/**
 * Prevent direct access to files
 *
 * @since 1.0
 */
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; // Exit if accessed directly

/**
 * Nothing fancy here, just some css injection into the WordPress admin head
 */

 // remove yoast premium seo nag from admin dashboard
function remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page() {
    echo
    '<style>
		div.error {
			display: none;
		}
	</style>';
}

add_action('admin_head', 'remove_yoast_license_nag_from_admin_page');
```
4: save the file and its content;
5: zip the directory (folder);
6: install it to WordPress like any other “regular” plugin;
7: Activate the plugin;
8: done.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your efforts Claude!

I’m assuming that will remove all errors not just Yoast ones?

if you have downloaded this plugin from GPLDL and want to remove the activation message, please follow these steps:

Open your FTP/Cpanel:
Browse to this location \\website.com\wp-content\plugins\wordpress-seo-plugin\vendor\yoast\license-manager

Open the file “class-license-manager.php“

Go to Line # 116
Replace the line “if ( ! $this->license_is_valid() ) {”
With the line “if ($this->license_is_valid() ) {”

“Cheers”

Hi Droleba, thanks for the tip, it works!

I found the code on line #112.

Is there a way to automate this? It would be a hassle having to modify the code manually every time this plugin is updated.

I just want to point out, This will hide all messages from plugins and core that use the error class. You could potentially miss an important message. Just an FYI. I am looking for a better way to supress the message but yoast uses a really simple function. You can remove the function from the plugin file but that gets overwritten on update.

Thanks to Droleba I made a script to make fixing Yoast SEO Premium easier.

Unzip the plugin, run this bash script in the same folder. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

#!/bin/sh
version=grep "Version: " ./wordpress-seo-premium/wp-seo-premium.php | rev | cut -d " " -f1 | rev

sed -i ‘s/\! $this->license_is_valid()/$this->license_is_valid()/’ ./wordpress-seo-premium/vendor/yoast/license-manager/class-license-manager.php

zip -r -9 wordpress-seo-premium-$version-fixed.zip ./wordpress-seo-premium

The forum mangled it, see the pastebin instead.

In the functions.php code, replace div.error with div.yoast-notice-error

Open wordpress-seo-premium/vendor/yoast/license-manager/class-license-manager.php and remove lines 110 – 121.

If you use the method described before (create a plugin) and just follow this great advice “replace div.error with div.yoast-notice-error” then custom-made plugin works like a charm. Just tested. Thanks!
