Minor UX suggestion – Move to the Tools dropdown (revisited)

Hello @ilovethesea,

Thanks for your post. I need to say i haven’t looking into this for a while.
But it is still one of the things to do.
(https://github.com/Krielkip/bb-toolbox/issues/4)

Two things i need to find out:
– How can i do it.
– Can i do it with a single option? (for the user who like the way it works)

Also one thing on my todo is changing the title to a icon. ??

So, yes it is still on my plans. Only I don’t know when i am planning to do it.
I hope i can work on this in the next couple of days.

Hello Krielkip,

Thank you for your quick reply. That is really nice to hear! ??

About “how to do it”. Is this helfpul?
– I found this in the BB documentation: https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-builder/developer/tutorials-guides/remove-rename-tools-menu-items/
– And /bb-plugin/classes/class-fl-builder.php (line 1258-1362, BB v2.5.1.1) shows how BB adds their own entries to the tool menu.
– I don’t see yet how that would allow you to make it a choice. But it could be worth opening a ticket with the great BB support to ask if they have any idea.

Hello @ilovethesea,

Thanks for this comment. This really helps to make this request faster. ??
I will try to code something for WordPress this weekend.

Kind regards,
Jack

Hello!

I think that the current position is great for the user experience. It’s really hard for the general page editor to look into the dropdown menu. I think that if it’s moved, nobody finds it.

Also, I think that the current translation “Page / Post Config” is very long and doesn’t describe these settings as clear as it should. I prefer the old “Toolbox” or if we want to use more generic, I suggest just “Settings” as it includes page / post settings. In Finnish, I translated the plugin as “Settings” as it best describes what the plugin is used for.
