AdsDestroyer – clean admin panel & white label

Managing Rules: – View All Rules : Go to Settings → AdsDestroyer to see all your hidden elements – Edit Rules : Click the edit button to modify XPath rules, add descriptions, or change expiration dates – Toggle Rules : Activate/deactivate rules without deleting them – Delete Rules : Remove rules you no longer need – Reset All : Clear all rules at once if needed

Advanced Features: – Visual Selection : The plugin resolves nested markup to a meaningful block and offers up to six ancestor candidates – Selector Validation : Every generated XPath must resolve to exactly the selected element before it is stored – Scope Awareness : Fragile page content stays page-specific, while admin menu and admin-bar rules can work globally – Conflict Detection : If you try to hide an element that’s already hidden, the plugin offers to activate the existing rule – Safe Removal : Uses HTML5 parsing to prevent broken layouts when hiding elements – Page Information : Automatically tracks which page each rule was created on for better organization

Multisite

• By default, settings are per site.
• Optional network-wide mode (planned toggle in settings) stores options as a site option across network.

Output Buffering

This plugin uses PHP output buffering (ob_start) to process HTML content in the WordPress admin panel. The buffering is only active in the admin area and never affects the frontend of your website.

Important for hosting providers: – The plugin does NOT use output buffering on frontend pages – Admin panel pages are rarely cached by hosting providers due to their personalized nature – If you have admin panel caching enabled on your hosting, it may cause conflicts with the plugin’s functionality – If you have problems with WordPress admin panel caching. We recommend disabling admin panel caching when using this plugin

Technical details: – The buffering is used to apply XPath rules to hide unwanted elements in the admin interface – No impact on frontend performance or caching
