Illogical menu creation

@shawfactor Thanks for the comment and I’m glad NSUR is working well for you.

On the Admin side and the location of the NSUR options page don’t forget this is only visible by Administrators who have access to control user accounts (so not everybody will see this options page). Also as you say many plugins put their options pages under the ‘General’ Settings Page as there is no other place to practically associate the plugin. However, when you install user style plugins many do put them under the ‘User’ menu since its a better fit for example the ‘User Role Editor’ plugin. Thanks for the suggestion but for now I think its in the right place.

Your plugin is not a “user” style plugin. It is a registration plugin. Non Multisite installs have the registration option under general settings you plugin should place it under that section too.

Please see common sense.

Exactly is not in the context of site registration ( also possible for networks ) but for users to register so I’d say the clue it in the title “‘User’ Registration” :).

And again only site admins will see this in the dashboard. So if they want to open their site for users to register first place to look is under the users menu. Makes sense to me unless I’m missing something big here ?

Yes it is a setting for user registration.

On non Multisite installs the equivalent setting in under Settings->General. Having it it in same spot on Multisite when your plugin is active IS logical.

I run a network of sites and having my admins have to access a multitude of different screens to configure their site makes zero sense.

Ok I think I’m beginning to see your frustration.

So you have user admins who use your sites and you have these admins using a mix of WordPress single installations and multi site installations?

Yes people coming from their own single site installation and wanting to turn off registration on their new site within my multisite network

Right so i do understand now, I actually left use of WP single sites a long time ago. if I only ever want one site I always make it the base site on a Network just to keep the options open for expansion.

But I do get your point now, to make if “feel” like a WP single install which it is not! it just has the appearance. As I see it we could do a few things,

1) add a link on the Settings > General page to the existing settings page under the Users > Registration menu.
2) Or duplicate the settings from the existing Users > Registration menu (I wouldn’t want to remove the current Users > Registration page) for consistency.

and since NSUR added the option for selecting a default role on registration the experience is now similar to the WP single installs.

what do you think ?
