XLPlugins is spammy in backend

Hi @phil96,

It’s rather unfortunate that you didn’t contact support first. But chose to leave review here on placement of menu rather than functionality of the plugin itself.

There is nothing that cannot be resolved if we communicate.

Here is point by point answer:

1) NextMove is WooCommerce addon so it goes below the WooComemrce menu right under Products. https://i.imgur.com/CwwIGJA.png

2) XLPlugins creates not just one plugin but quite a few plugins. Infact, we put all our plugin in same area. https://i.imgur.com/CwwIGJA.png.

3) May be this tab wont make sense with one plugin but a lot of our users use multiple plugins and it is done for the ease of users.

See this image https://puu.sh/AOyWF/c49b555c10.png

4) More importantantly, it is a part common codebase which powers all our plugins and registers the tab. This core enables important aspects like Tools, which contain system information report we need in case of troubleshooting for support enquiries.

You can watch this video to get further explanation http://recordit.co/X71tWQKRq2

This is one reason why we and so many other plugins in ecosystem register a seperate tab.

5) The access to plugin is also grouped with WooCommerce https://i.imgur.com/BPhf48X.gifv

I think you missed this. Again main purpose of tabs is to provide another way plus have all the tools,licenses and support tabs

This a simple code snippet to hide the menu:

add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘theme_modify_admin_menus’, 999999);
function theme_modify_admin_menus() {
global $menu;

unset($menu[‘59.5’]);
}

There is no intention to be spammy.

In fact we would be happy to resolve this incase you chose to contact us via support desk: https://xlplugins.com/support/

Above snippet would work. If not please contact us via support desk we would be happy to help.

I hope you re-consider the rating.

Thank You
Daman Jeet
