A site with a dozen ResultsAiX plugins can have a dozen top level menus in the sidebar. Settings lets you fold them all under one ResultsAiX Hub menu, keep your favourites at the top, and hide the bots row if you do not use it. It also holds linked sites, appearance and a few useful shortcuts.
Where to find it:
Open ResultsAiX Hub and click the Settings tab. The cards, top to bottom, are: Linked sites, Menu Consolidation, Three-Level Off-Switch, Help and your account, Appearance, and Hub Information. Linked sites and Appearance have their own articles; this one covers the rest.
Consolidate plugin menus under ResultsAiX:
Off by default. When you tick it and press Save Settings, each ResultsAiX plugin's own top level sidebar menu is removed and added back as a single row under the ResultsAiX Hub menu, sorted A to Z below the Hub's own Home and RWK AI Bots rows. The plugin itself is untouched. Clicking that row loads exactly the same screen it always did, because WordPress opens admin pages by their address rather than by where the menu row sits.
It covers plugins that registered with the Hub and ResultsAiX plugins the Hub finds switched on through its catalogue.
Step by step:
- Open Settings and find Menu Consolidation.
- Tick Consolidate plugin menus under ResultsAiX.
- Optional: under Per-Plugin Overrides, tick Keep at top level for the plugins you open all day.
- Press Save Settings. The page says Settings saved, and your sidebar changes straight away.
What consolidation deliberately does not do:
It does not flatten each plugin's inner pages into the sidebar. A tracker with a dozen sub pages and a launch manager with a dozen more would produce a fifty row sidebar and defeat the point. Those inner pages stay where they were and you move between them with each plugin's own in page tabs. The Hub also keeps the sidebar highlight right: when you are deep inside a consolidated plugin, the ResultsAiX Hub menu and that plugin's row still light up.
Add-ons are skipped, because they live as tabs inside their parent plugin and have no top level menu of their own.
Per-Plugin Overrides:
Under the switches is a table of every eligible plugin, each with a Keep at top level (overrides global consolidation) box. Tick one and that plugin keeps its own top level menu even while consolidation is on. It is meant for the one or two plugins you open twenty times a day.
A few plugins can appear twice in this table, once under their own name and once under the catalogue's name, for example ResultsAiX Mailer, ResultsAiX Support Desk, and Free HTML Pages with Free HTML To WP Pages. To keep one of them at the top level, tick Keep at top level on both of its rows.
Hide the RWK AI Bots row:
The second switch, Hide RWK AI Bots from the WP sidebar, removes the RWK AI Bots row from the sidebar. The screen stays available from the Results With Kevin AI tab at the top of every Hub page and by direct address. Press Save Settings to keep the change.
A real example:
Jamie's sidebar on yoursite.com had thirteen ResultsAiX menus between Comments and Appearance. Jamie ticks Consolidate plugin menus under ResultsAiX, ticks Keep at top level for WP Conversion Tracker AI because it is opened all day, and saves. The ResultsAiX Hub menu now lists Home, RWK AI Bots, then AiX Forms, AiX Funnels, AiX Mailer and the rest, A to Z, while WPC Tracker keeps its own menu further down.
The Three-Level Off-Switch:
This card explains how to back out at any time:
- Soft toggle: untick Consolidate plugin menus. Every plugin returns to its own top level menu straight away, and the Hub stays installed.
- Per-plugin override: tick Keep at top level for specific plugins to exempt just those, leaving the rest consolidated.
- Hard kill: deactivate the Hub from the Plugins screen. Every menu reverts, nothing is deleted, and you can reactivate whenever you like.
Help and your account:
Four shortcuts:
- Your account portal: licence keys, downloads, invoices and everything you have purchased. Open your account opens it
- Need a hand?: the Contact Support button, for licensing, updates and setup
- Troubleshooting: Open Diagnostics for a health report before you reach out
- Licences and updates: buttons to the Licenses tab and My Plugins
Hub Information:
The last card shows the Hub version, the number of rows in the Per-Plugin Overrides table (labelled Registered products), the catalogue address, the update server address and a Contact Support link. It is the quickest way to confirm the Hub is pointed where you expect.
Tips:
- Consolidation is a good choice once you run more than five ResultsAiX plugins.
- Keep your daily plugin at the top level with Keep at top level, so it is always one click away.
- Changed your mind? Untick the switch and save: every menu comes back at once.
