WP Umbrella’s white label feature allows you to hide the plugin from the WordPress admin interface. However, if you need to make it visible on a particular website without disabling white labeling entirely, you can do so with a simple code snippet.
Estimated Time to Complete: 2–5 minutes
Prerequisites:
Access to your WordPress site’s files (via FTP, SFTP, or hosting control panel).
Basic knowledge of editing PHP files.
A WordPress theme is installed on your site.
Direct URL to WP Umbrella Settings:
Even if the plugin is hidden, you can always access its settings at:/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-umbrella-settings
functions.php
FileYou can edit the functions.php
file via WordPress Admin or FTP/SFTP.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance > Theme File Editor.
Select your active theme from the dropdown (if not already selected).
Locate and open the functions.php
file.
Connect to your website using an FTP client or your hosting file manager.
Navigate to the wp-content/themes/your-active-theme/
folder.
Locate the functions.php
file and open it for editing.
Insert the following snippet into your functions.php
file:
add_filter('wp_umbrella_white_label_data', function ($data) {
$data['hide_plugin'] = false;
return $data;
});
Important:
Place the code at the bottom of the file, just before the closing ?>
tag (if it exists).
If there’s no closing tag, you can safely add the code without it.
If using the WordPress Theme Editor, click Update File.
If editing locally, save the file and upload it back to the server via FTP/SFTP.
I don’t see the WP Umbrella plugin after adding the code.
Double-check that the code snippet is correctly added to the active theme’s functions.php
file.
Clear your WordPress cache and refresh the admin panel.
The changes aren’t saving in the Theme Editor.
Your hosting provider might have file permissions that prevent direct editing. In this case, use FTP or your hosting file manager instead.
My site crashed after adding the code!
There may be a syntax error. Remove the snippet and retry.
Always create a backup before making code changes.
That’s it! The WP Umbrella plugin will now remain visible in the WordPress admin panel while keeping white labeling enabled. Enjoy managing your sites effortlessly!
