    Hi there!

    Together with rebranding, you have moved the settings pages from the general settings area to the admin-menu. I do not think that this is necessary, it only makes the admin-menu even more confusing, than it already is. Directly shown in the menu there should only be plugins or areas, where changes are being made regularly.

    Pls. consider moving it back to the general settings area.

    Thks.

  • We will consider it.

    +1 from me. Not much irritates me more than when plugins feel they need to be out in the main WP Admin menu – especially “set it and forget it” type of plugins which this clearly is.

    Plus, there is no reason for it. 2 out of the 3 screens are billboards for the other plugins. The “Settings” page offers a single setting.

    WP SMTP did this a few years ago in a big marketing ploy. Earlier this year I found FluentSMTP which properly lives in the Settings area. I’m just about done migrating 60+ sites.

    Visit the Advanced WordPress group on Facebook and you’ll see this behavior gets a lot of attention… and not the attention you want as a plugin dev.

    Please consider moving it back to underneath /Settings and use Tabs if you need to display multiple sub-pages.

    Why did you mark this as resolved?
    For me is not yet, but thanks anyway, for considering to change the position back to the settings area.

    Totally agree with Andreas. The change you made does not comport with good plugin development practices. LoginWP should not have moved the settings location.
