Dismiss Privacy and Personal Data Dashboard Nag Pointer Tooltip Notification, when it is activated, or if it is in mu-plugins.
Why this plugin?
Seem that the new privacy pointer is not "totally" auto dismissible when is clicked one of the admin menu links, for example:
- If one of the any admin menu links was clicked, the privacy pointer disappear.
- If the dasboard admin menu link was clicked, the privacy pointer not disappear, return visible, and nagging user.
- The privacy pointer is misaligned to admin menu when exist other admin menu items of 3rd party:
- The suggested code to auto dismiss it seem to not working well --
remove_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts', array( 'WP_Internal_Pointers', 'pointer_wp496_privacy' ) ); - The remove_action for pointer_wp496_privacy needed to be called from the admin_enqueue_scripts action with a priority of 11.
Based to the Detailed Guidelines 11: plugins should not hijack the admin dashboard.
- Users prefer and expect plugins to feel like part of WordPress.
- Constant nags and overwhelming the admin dashboard with unnecessary alerts detract from this experience.
- Upgrade prompts, notices, alerts, and the like must be limited in scope and used sparingly, be that contextually or only on the plugin’s setting page.
- Site wide notices or embedded dashboard widgets must be dismissible or self-dismiss when resolved.
- Error messages and alerts must include information on how to resolve the situation, and remove themselves when completed.
Privacy: Add an admin pointer for new privacy features in 4.9.6.
- The new features are very important for some users, because of their GDPR obligations.
- They're also spread across multiple top-level menus, making them less discoverable.
- An admin pointer will help to ensure that users are aware of the new tools and how to find them.
