<p>Easy Updates Menu is a lightweight plugin that enhances your WordPress admin interface by adding a convenient “Updates” submenu item under the Plugins menu. This submenu only appears when there are plugin updates available, making it easier to quickly access and manage pending updates.</p>
<p>We’ve all dealt with slow servers and clunky setups when running maintenance on sites. How frustrating is it to log in to the dashboard, click on ‘Installed Plugins’, then click ‘Updates’? It eats up precious time. With Easy Updates Menu, you can simply log in to the dashboard, click “Updates,” and start updating without the hassle.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Adds a dynamic submenu item: Plugins <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Updates</li>
<li>Shows the number of available updates in the menu</li>
<li>Only visible when plugin updates are available</li>
<li>Direct access to the updates view</li>
