## Kuvaus

Disable and remove **Privacy Tools**, (added in version 4.9.6 — completely GDPR 
OFF) and reset options to default, when it is activated, or if it is in mu-plugins
directory.

Development takes place at [GitHub](https://github.com/luciano-croce/dismiss-privacy-tools)
and [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/luciano-croce/dismiss-privacy-tools). Compatible
with [GlotPress Translations](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/dismiss-privacy-tools).

Approved in the repository of the plugin directory on 2018-06-28

**If you need to partially disable only Privacy Pointers, Privacy Notification Nag,
without removing Privacy Tools, you can use** ”[Dismiss Privacy Nag](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dismiss-privacy-nag)”.

Features:

 * Disable Privacy Tool /wp-admin/privacy.php
 * Disable Erase Personal Data /wp-admin/tools.php?page=erase_personal_data
 * Disable Export Personal Data /wp-admin/tools.php?page=export_personal_data
 * Remove scheduled action used to delete old export files.
 * Remove scheduled event used to delete old export files.
 * Remove scheduled hook used to delete old export files.
 * Short circuits the option for the privacy policy page to always return 0 to avoid
   unneeded database query.
 * Delete unnecessary database options.
 * Reset all options to default.
 * Don’t show the privacy feature pointer to new users.
 * 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.
 * NEW – Dismiss pointer for the new privacy tools. FIXED!
 * NEW – Disable comments cookies opt-in and remove related option.

Because I made this?

Simply because is different to the other similar plugins.

### Technical References

Translators: leave all technical references in English!

Dismiss all the new feature pointers.

@since 3.3.0

All pointers can be disabled using the following:

remove_action( ’admin_enqueue_scripts’, array( ’WP_Internal_Pointers’, ’enqueue_scripts’));#
This work but ”unfortunately” as alternative solution that remove all pointers!

@param string $hook_suffix The current admin page.

Dismiss a pointer for the new privacy tools.

@since 4.9.6

Privacy pointer can be disabled using the following:

remove_action( ’admin_print_footer_scripts’, array( ’WP_Internal_Pointers’, ’pointer_wp496_privacy’));#
This for now not work: due a bug? Investigating… wp496_privacy ???

@param string $hook_suffix The current admin page.

#### Credits

Issue (bug) **fixed by my brother Garrett Hyder** and tested from Pascal Birchler(
swissspidy): refer to [Ticket 45529](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45529/)
opened by [Dale Harrison](https://profile.wordpress.org/daleharrison).

Thanks to Ross McKay (webaware) and Stephen Edgar (netweb) to support me in New 
Zealander (English) translations, in some typo errors, and some minor (English) 
error stuff.

Thanks to Fernando Tellado (fernandot) and Nilo Velez to support me in Spanish translations.

Thanks to all!

#### Tips

A neat trick, is to put this single file dismiss-privacy-tools.php (not its parent
directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) so
you won’t even have to enable it, and will be loaded by default, also, since first
step installation of WordPress setup!

Also, for translation functionality, put all files of the single languages (dismiss-
privacy-tools-en_US.mo for example) that you need (not its parent directory) in 
the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) and will also be
loaded by default, since first step installation of WordPress setup!

Note that mu-plugins functionality is available since WP 2.8+ or greater and is 
not present in WP 2.7+ or previous.

#### About it

The code of this plugin is not written with a PHP framework, but manually, with 
a simple PHP editor compatible UTF-8 without BOM, and Unix LF. To avoid code corruption,
do not edit it with WordPress embedded editor, or with any specifications incompatible
editor. This author is exonerated from any responsibility or damage (directly or
indirectly) caused and due to the use of this bad practice.

#### Privacy

This plugin does not collect or store any user related data or personally identifying

websites. It only uses functionality that is available in WordPress. In those terms,
it does not affect your website users’ privacy in any way.
