Hi @friman1,
The plugin comes with a framework called Redux. Redux adds this additionally menu entry “Redux Framework 3.6” while the plugin is enabled.
If you deactivate the plugin no files are removed.
The framework is an implementation detail of the settings for the plugin. It is used for the settings page and everywhere in the plugin where these settings are evaluated. I could develop my own settings mechanism with all the sliders, toggles etc. But I decided to use a sophisticated and very neat framework. The drawback of this is an additional settings page made by the framework “Hi there! This is redux a settings framework. You can also install the redux plugin for updates. Probably even more plugins will use redux in the future because WordPress doesn’t provide a proper settings framework.”
I understand that’s a bit annoying. I don’t need this redux submenu either but the framework authors made a decision to use it.
More Details about the redux framework decision and explanation how to remove this submenu: https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/issues/2209
I really appreciate your feedback! I maybe replace redux with an lighter implementation in the future.
