 * First of all, thanks for the new version!
    Although some areas can be improved,
   everything looks promising.
 * After testing some functionalities, I’ve noticed the following:
 * **1.** Error when installing the plugin on a fresh WordPress 6.0, no WooCommerce
   installed:
    [](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/hMXpZHj/error.png?ssl=1)
 * **2.** As others have also stated before me, I really think that starting v3.0,
   the plugin needs its own menu entry in the main Settings menu, as besides WooCommerce
   it also offers many WordPress related options.
    In order not to confuse the existing
   users, I would implement it this way: – First remove the WooCommerce requirement–
   If the plugin gets installed on a setup that’s missing Woo, then disable all 
   its Woo related options, with a note that Woo needs to be installed in order 
   to use them. – When Woo is installed, you can keep both the **Disable Bloat**
   tab in the Woo settings and the main **Disable Bloat** path in the main WordPress
   Settings menu.
 * **3.** I’ve seen that in the **Admin panel optimization** area, the plugin offers
   some options like we can find in other plugins.
    However, these are only half
   implemented, as you still need those plugins besides yours, in order to get what
   you need. These plugins are: [1](https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-generator-and-version-info-remover/)
   and [2](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-widget-disable/). So it would be amazing
   if you could implement all features of those plugins. For example, I would also
   like to have the ability to disable other WP dash widgets (added by plugins),
   like plugin **no [2](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-widget-disable/)** lets
   us do, or disabling more **Third-party plugins bloat** like plugin **no [1](https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-generator-and-version-info-remover/)**
   lets us do.
 * If you could solve these, you got yourself a new customer and a greatly improved
   product.
    Thanks!

 * Hello [@tanohex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tanohex/)
 * Thanks you for your extensive feedback.
 * 1. I have tried to replicate this issue in my test environment but unfortunatelly
   I was unable to duplicate the error on my side. Could you please check your debug_log
   and server error_log and look for errors? I there are any, please paste them 
   in this thread.
 * 2. Sure, you are right. Because now the plugin is more general WordPress-oriented,
   there is no need for WooCommerce requiremen. A new menu under WordPress Setting
   might be also more clear, but are you sure that it won’t clutter your admin panel
   by adding more links to the menu which is already heavily packed in some websites.
 * I think it is a great idea to show / hide WooCommerce options based on WooCommerce
   plugin detection.
 * 3. Thanks for this. Our long-term goal is to make the plugin an all-in-one solution–
   so that you won’t need any other plugins. I will definetely check this plugins’
   features.
 * Cheers!

 * Hello again, [@tanohex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tanohex/)
 * As you can see, we have released version 3.1.0 of the plugin. WooCommerce is 
   not required to run the plugin anymore. And the plugin has now it’s own top-menu
   settings1 Please look at the screenshots is the plugin’s description.
