Ticket #60992, comment 52
initial v1 1 1 Hello folks, I'm chiming in from the WooCommerce side. First of all, thank you for making it easier for users to install multiple plugins at once. WooCommerce previously had a redirect to automatically start the setup flows after plugin activation. Since the 6.5 release, we are seeing 20% less usage of the setup flows now that it fails to trigger. This is concerning to us because it means a large amount of users never truly start their journey with our plugin despite their intention to do so by activating it. 2 2 3 I agree the redirect pattern is disruptive to users who are installing multiple plugins at once. I would be in favor of a first-class way for plugins to register their onboarding URLs and have WordPress provide a new configure button (as shared above in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/60992/Configure-button.jpg), to help guide users to the next step. Additionally, I think it would also be helpful to users for WordPress continue surfacing this button in prominent locations until configuration has been completed, to help with cases where users leave the plugin screen without being aware of the button.3 I agree the redirect pattern is disruptive to users who are installing multiple plugins at once.
