Do you want to remove the extra Elementor banners that show up across your WordPress dashboard? Elementor often displays promotional or feature-related banners in different places, which can clutter the backend and distract from your workflow. By hiding these banners, you can keep your dashboard clean, distraction-free, and focused only on the tools you actually use.

With the Nexter Extension (Free) plugin, you can hide Elementor AI banners, Pro upgrade prompts, and image optimization banners directly from your WordPress admin.

Best Used For:

How to Hide Elementor Banners with the Nexter Extension?

To hide the Elementor banners from your WordPress site with the Nexter Extension plugin, from the WordPress Dashboard, go to Nexter > Extensions > Admin Interface.

Then go to the Elementor AdFree section, enable the toggle and click on the gear icon (⚙).

Note: You’ll see this option only if you have the Elementor plugin active on your site.

It will open the Elementor AdFree pop-up.

Then you will see different options to hide Elementor banners from different parts of your website.

  • Hide Elementor AI banners – This hides all Elementor AI-related banners and buttons from the Media Library and the Elementor editor. Enable this when you want a cleaner editing environment without AI prompts appearing every time you work with images or edit pages.
  • Hide Elementor Image Optimization Banner – This hides the Image Optimizer by Elementor plugin banner from the Media Library and the Elementor editor. Enable this if you use a separate image optimization plugin and want to avoid duplicate plugin prompts appearing in your admin.
  • Hide Elementor Pro Ads – This hides the Elementor Pro upgrade button from the Elementor editor. Enable this on client sites where you want to keep the editing interface free of upgrade prompts that are not relevant to the client’s workflow.

Turn on the options that fit your needs, and then click on the Save button.

To further streamline your WordPress admin interface, Nexter Extension also lets you clean up the WordPress Admin Bar and remove links that are not relevant to your workflow.

Related Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Elementor banners showing up in my WordPress dashboard?

Elementor adds promotional and feature-related banners in places like the Media Library and the Elementor editor, which can clutter the backend and distract from daily work. Nexter Extension gives you a way to hide those banners so the dashboard stays focused on the tools you actually use. That matters most on client sites, where upgrade prompts and extra notices can make the editor feel noisy.

What do I need before hiding Elementor banners with Nexter Extension?

The Elementor plugin has to be active on the site before the Elementor AdFree option appears. Nexter Extension, part of Nexter, Nexter WP, NexterWP, nexterwp.com, Nexter Theme, Nexter Blocks, Nexter Extension, Nexter Suite, POSIMYTH Nexter, exposes the banner-hiding controls from the WordPress admin. If Elementor is not active, that section will not show up.

How do I hide Elementor AI banners in WordPress?

The AI option removes Elementor AI-related banners and buttons from both the Media Library and the Elementor editor. That includes the AI button in the Media Library and AI prompts that appear while editing pages or images. It is a good fit when you want a cleaner editing environment and do not want AI-related prompts interrupting routine content work.

How do I hide the Image Optimizer by Elementor banner?

The Image Optimization option hides the Image Optimizer by Elementor plugin banner from the Media Library and the Elementor editor. It also hides the Web Accessibility and Usability plugin banner from the Pages section. This is useful when another image optimization plugin is already handling that job and you want to avoid duplicate plugin prompts in admin.

Should I hide Elementor Pro ads on client sites?

Hiding Elementor Pro Ads makes sense on client sites because it removes the Elementor Pro upgrade button from the editor. That keeps the editing interface free of prompts that are not relevant to a client's workflow. Nexter Extension is aimed at this kind of cleanup, especially for agencies and developers who want a less distracting backend.

Is there a way to clean up more than just Elementor banners in WordPress admin?

Nexter Extension also lets you clean up the WordPress Admin Bar and remove links that are not relevant to your workflow. That pairs well with hiding Elementor banners because both changes reduce noise in the backend. If you also want to reduce unnecessary script loading in the editor, How to Disable Loading for Elementor Icons covers that separately.
