 * Hi there!
 * Together with rebranding, you have moved the settings pages from the general 
   settings area to the admin-menu. I do not think that this is necessary, it only
   makes the admin-menu even more confusing, than it already is. Directly shown 
   in the menu there should only be plugins or areas, where changes are being made
   regularly.
 * Pls. consider moving it back to the general settings area.
 * Thks.
    Andreas

 * +1 from me. Not much irritates me more than when plugins feel they need to be
   out in the main WP Admin menu – especially “set it and forget it” type of plugins
   which this clearly is.
 * Plus, there is no reason for it. 2 out of the 3 screens are billboards for the
   other plugins. The “Settings” page offers a single setting.
 * WP SMTP did this a few years ago in a big marketing ploy. Earlier this year I
   found FluentSMTP which properly lives in the Settings area. I’m just about done
   migrating 60+ sites.
 * Visit the Advanced WordPress group on Facebook and you’ll see this behavior gets
   a lot of attention… and not the attention you want as a plugin dev.
 * Please consider moving it back to underneath /Settings and use Tabs if you need
   to display multiple sub-pages.

 * Why did you mark this as resolved?
    For me is not yet, but thanks anyway, for
   considering to change the position back to the settings area.

 * Totally agree with Andreas. The change you made does not comport with good plugin
   development practices. LoginWP should not have moved the settings location.
