Hides upsell ads and notices that popular plugins add to the WordPress admin area.

== Description ==

Many popular plugins show upgrade offers and ads inside the WordPress admin area. SMNTCS Utilities hides them, so your dashboard stays clean.

It currently hides the ads of:

* All-in-One WP Migration
* Elementor
* Jetpack
* Smush
* Yoast SEO

There are no settings. Activate the plugin and the ads are gone.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `smntcs-utilities` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can you remove the ads that Disqus shows in comments? =

No. Disqus shows its ads inside its own comment frame, which a WordPress plugin cannot change. Removing them would also break the Disqus terms of service. Disqus offers an ad-free plan instead.
