Hi RC-
Here’s how you can accomplish each of these.
First, to remove the BoldGrid Connect Key notification, input a key and save it. You can create a key or find your existing ones in your BoldGrid Central account.
Second, to remove the Total Upkeep notification, there’s two ways you might want to go about this. You can simply get rid of the little red “1” circle by visiting the Total Upkeep > Premium Features tab once with an administrator account.
However, a better way to handle that might be to give your board members a different user role than Administrator. For example, if they’re editors instead of administrators, they’ll have access to all of the content of the site but they won’t be able to do administrative tasks like adding plugins, performing updates, and using Total Upkeep. You can also use a plugin like User Role Editor to customize what capabilities your board members will have.
Finally, the BoldGrid News and Feedback widgets. These can be disabled with a plugin like Widget Disable. If you choose to use that plugin, you’ll find the settings under Customize > Disable Widgets.
