Remove Activation Notice Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer
If you are a theme developer and use Visual Composer you really should look into Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer. It’s a really great expansion of the page builder tool.
If you are bundling the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer with your theme you’re going to want to disable the activation notice for your end users.
“Please activate your copy of the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer to get update notifications, access to support features & other resources!”
How to do this really should have been documented somewhere by the plugin author, but I digress.
I spent the better part of my morning working this out so here it is:
Just add the below code to your themes functions.php file:
define('BSF_PRODUCTS_NOTICES', false);
That’s it!!
If you haven’t already, you’ll probably want to add this bit of code to your themes functions.php in order to disable the activation notice for Visual Composer itself:
vc_set_as_theme( $disable_updater = true );
I hope this helps!!
It works great!

No prob! Glad this helped.
Doesnt work for me… wordpress 4.4.
put vc_set_as_theme( $disable_updater = true ); in my THEME’s function PHP and I still get the
“Please activate your copy of the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer to get update notifications, access to support features & other resources!”
Any ideas ?
Thanks !
For Ultimate Addons you need to add:
define(‘BSF_PRODUCTS_NOTICES’, false);
Let me know if you still have problems.
Thanks.
Got it ! Thank you very much sir 😀
You’re very welcome!
Hi There,
Thanks for the great sharing. Going to active my visual composer now.
Glad it helped.
Thank you
You are welcome!!
Tks man! It helped a lot !!!
You are welcome!!
This indeed does remove the nag! Cheers. I’m not 100% certain, but it might leave the circled plugin notification, but it could be from another plugin. At any rate, I wanted to thank you.
Glad it helped. Happy coding!!
Good to know. Thanks for letting me know about your method!! I’ll have to give it try.
Worked Perfectly…. Thanks… saved me time instead of writing it myself… Great Work… !!!!
Great job!
thank for tutorial brother
thank you
Doesn’t seem to work for me unfortunately. Still get asked.
Hi Chris,
If you give me some more details I may be able to help. Are you having problems with the Visual Composer notice or the Ultimate Addons notice?
Let me know.
Thanks.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks! Just what I was looking for!
nice it works
Hey Hayes, This indeed worked. However I am having trouble with a theme activation Notice. How can I deal with that. Newspaper 8.1
You would have to contact your theme developer about that.
Thank you.
Best regards,
how to remove: (” Please register this copy of theme to get access to premium plugins, pre-built websites, 1-click updates and more… “)
You would have to contact your theme developer about that.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Top man Shawn. Big thank you. I’ve added this to our workflow for all websites. They really should have a tick box for this in the settings. I can’t image the amount of man hours that have been wasted by clients calling agencies about this!
No problem. Glad this helped.
How about buying Visual Composer and entering license? Looks like you are using it, why not pay developers that work constantly to improve it?
This code is to help theme developers that have purchased Visual Composer’s (WPBakery Page Builder) Extended license and are packaging the code with their theme. We don’t want our users getting this notice after they launch our theme.
Thank you for your comment.
Great post thank you so much for sharing this information.
Thanks
hi thank you
this code: define(‘BSF_PRODUCTS_NOTICES’, false);

No problem. I am happy the post helped you! Thank you.
Yay! Helped me as both Schema Pro and Convert Plus are my plugins. Thanks for this little hint! Cheers!
No Problem. Glad this helped!

Yes, last I checked it still works. Let me know if you are still having issues.
Great article, it helped a lot. No more annoying warning boxes and saved 50 bucks on buying those plugins 🙂 Thanks Shawn.

Hey there, Aga,
Looks like a trial has expired? Is there something in specific you are asking?
Hello,
Thank you for sharing this information, but I have a question:
Which piece of code do I add or do I need to add BOTH pieces of code to the functions.php file?
define(‘BSF_PRODUCTS_NOTICES’, false);
vc_set_as_theme( $disable_updater = true );
And, where do I add the code? At the bottom?
Sincerely,
Tom
I would add both if you want to get rid of both notices.
Thank you.
Doesn’t work for me:
Please activate your copy of the Ultimate Addons for Elementor to get update notifications, access to support features & other resources!
still there
Hey there, Marco,
This Tutorial is for the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer plugin, not Elementor. Was that a Typo?
