Adding link to site health in plugin description #4

Open YellowlimeNL opened 1 year ago

Might be good to add a link to the site's site health section in the plugins' description. The text visible at /wp-admin/plugins.php. People not that familiar with site health are more easily informed about the location of the info.

Upon plugin activation, the following banner, including a link to Site Health, is displayed currently:

I am not sure if I can/may add a link in the plugin description.

Not sure if I get your question? Are you speaking about the link currently displayed "Test your site using Site Health" or do you want to add an additional link? If so, point to what?

Is it like the one similar to the screenshot that you are talking about? Thought I would take a screenshot from one of Automattic's plugins. :D

@YellowlimeNL I was trying to answer your question/this ticket. The link to Site Health is there when the plugin is activated. After activation, it should work smoothly in the background within the boundaries of Site Health. I think it could be interesting to add some more context to the plugin description about how it works. :-)

@alokstha1 I don't think that a menu item there would be the best choice.
