Input Allow us to disable ads that are being placed all over the panel

So after raising our rates 50% this year and essentially halting new features (that are instead all becoming paid addons), Plesk has continued to bombard our users with ads for things that take them out of our revenue streams. This included SSL certificates, site builder licenses, etc. Whatever - most people will never purchase those, and they are not a huge revenue stream for us. Should we be able to disable those suggestive upsells still? Yes.

But with the latest update, Plesk has inserted a "Hire a Developer" ad into WP Toolkit, seemingly forgetting that likely a huge portion of their client base is web agencies that perform these services. Now Plesk is directly targeting our customers for services we offer. I have yet to find a way to turn this off, but this is extremely infuriating.

I love the Plesk team - I just hate management (WebPros). Plesk is amazing and the best choice for WP, but the control panel is becoming spammy with ads for things that take business away from us (all while raising our subscription costs).

Question - How to disable forced advertisement "Hire a developer"?

Hello, as the title says: how can we disable that advertisement in the WordPress toolkit? We are actually not amused, that Plesk wants to catch out clients.

same here.... this was/is attempted theft of clients. We run WP-Toolkit in cPanel... there are no instructions on how to remove this.
