Thanks for the kind feedback — I’m glad to hear that the toolbar icon works well for you.
You’re absolutely right that the dashboard trains users to look for the red badge on the “Updates” menu item, so it’s understandable that the toolbar icon isn’t something everyone naturally watches at first. Highlighting the icon is a great idea though, so I’ll implement that. Thanks for the CSS snippet — I’ll build on it, as I’d like to take the different admin color schemes into account. I’ll let you know here once I’ve added it.
Thanks for your feedback! My idea was that a linked icon is already displayed in the top left of the toolbar whenever any kind of update is available:
Because of this, I didn’t see any reason why the dashboard would be needed. Do you think the icon is sufficient?
I’ve also given it some thought and have a few ideas, and I’d be very interested in your opinion on them.
Idea 1: I could add a linked checkmark icon that appears when everything is up to date. This would clearly indicate that everything is up to date, and the update page would remain accessible. One (minor) drawback of this solution is that WordPress users aren’t familiar with such a checkmark icon and might wonder why it’s there.
Idea 2: Another solution would be to provide multiple settings for standalone mode, allowing users to re-enable things separately.
Idea 3: Another idea would be to simply reactivate the menu item and position it below Peak Publisher. By default, users would be taken directly to the Peak Publisher page, but the dashboard would still be accessible by clicking.
I hope I’m not asking you too much. I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts.
Thank you and best regards, Helmut

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 Really glad to hear the setup went smoothly and that the drag & drop workflow makes your release process a bit easier. If you ever have suggestions or run into anything, feel free to reach out!
thank you so much for bringing this issue to my attention and for taking the time to analyze and report it. I will implement a corresponding automatic check in the next version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Quick note: I just released an important update that provides a new bootstrap code. Please make sure you’re using the new code (basicV2), as the old code had two minor issues.
Thank you for your bug report. I have just released an update that provides a new Bootstrap code (basicV2). Please use this new Bootstrap code for your plugins from now on. I apologize for any inconvenience. By the way, the new Bootstrap code now also supports multisite installations 😉
