Add 'Settings' action link to plugin list for quick access to profile… Addresses #732

[hardikRathi]

What?

Adds a "Settings" link to the plugin action links on the Plugins screen in the WordPress admin.

Why?

The plugin currently does not display a “Settings” link under its name on the Plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php).
This makes it less intuitive for users to access the plugin’s configuration section (/wp-admin/profile.php#application-passwords-section), which is standard behavior for most WordPress plugins.

Fixes #<issue_number> (replace with the actual issue ID if one exists).

How?

Introduced a new function two_factor_add_settings_action_link() in two-factor.php that hooks into the plugin_action_links_{plugin_basename} filter to prepend a "Settings" link.
The link directs users to /wp-admin/profile.php#application-passwords-section.

add_filter(
	'plugin_action_links_' . plugin_basename( __FILE__ ),
	'two_factor_add_settings_action_link'
);

Testing Instructions

1. Install and activate this branch of the plugin.
2. Navigate to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
3. Verify that a “Settings” link appears below the Two-Factor plugin name.
4. Click the link and confirm it redirects correctly to /wp-admin/profile.php#application-passwords-section.


Changelog Entry

Added - Settings action link on the Plugins screen for quick navigation to the plugin's configuration section.

Thanks for your contribution @hardikRathi!

The code looks good and I only had suggestion about the organization.

Could we move this to the rest of the hooks here along with the callback method?

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve moved the plugin_action_links hook and callback into Two_Factor_Core::add_hooks() as suggested. Verified that the Settings link still appears correctly on the Plugins screen.
