Very good plugin, except it is adding itself to the main menu

  • Works perfectly, and looks nice. However, why polluting the main menu of WordPress? It has no submenus at all, and it’s not a major plugin in the install, so why should I be forced to see it all the time?

    Hi @tigroumeow,

    Thanks for the review, we really appreciate it! Thanks for your feedback too. We actually used to tuck the settings page away in the WordPress “Settings” sub-menu, but we would get support tickets multiple times a week from users who couldn’t find the settings page. Even though it might seem logical to you and I that it would be in the main settings sub-menu, it didn’t seem to be to many users. As it’s necessary to visit the plugin’s settings page in order to configure the plugin we thought it would be best to add it to the main menu so it was easy to find, even though I agree with your point. After doing so, we thankfully never received a single ticket from a user unable to find the settings page.

    To hide the menu, just add the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

    add_action('admin_head','sb_instagram_hide_menu');
function sb_instagram_hide_menu(){
  echo '<style>.toplevel_page_sb-instagram-feed{display:none;}</style>';
}

    Let me know whether that hides it for you, and thanks again for the feedback and review!

    John
