    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:

    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 and 2.
    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 lets us do, or disabling more Third-party plugins bloat like plugin no 1 lets us do.

    If you could solve these, you got yourself a new customer and a greatly improved product.
    Thanks!

    Hello @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

    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.
