Using the plugin Admin Post Navigation https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-navigator/, when you add text content to a Admin Help Box in popup form the prev / next links automatically appear in the text of the admin help box popup. Can this be fixed?
Yes, thanks to Noahj Champion: In short this can be quick fixed via css by adding…
.wpbizplugins-cahb-content #post-navigator-prev,
.wpbizplugins-cahb-content #post-navigator-next {
display: none;
}
