# How to Disable Plugin Hiding in WP Umbrella

This guide will show you how to make the WP Umbrella plugin visible on a specific website while keeping the white label feature active.

## Overview

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`

## Steps to Follow

### Step 1: Access Your Theme’s `functions.php` File

You can edit the `functions.php` file via **WordPress Admin** or **FTP/SFTP**.

#### WordPress Admin Panel:

1.  Log in to your **WordPress dashboard**.
    
2.  Navigate to **Appearance** > **Theme File Editor**.
    
3.  Select your **active theme** from the dropdown (if not already selected).
    
4.  Locate and open the `functions.php` file.
    

#### FTP/SFTP or Hosting Control Panel:

1.  Connect to your website using an **FTP client** or your **hosting file manager**.
    
2.  Navigate to the `wp-content/themes/your-active-theme/` folder.
    
3.  Locate the `functions.php` file and open it for editing.
    

### Step 2: Add the Filter Code

Insert the following snippet into your `functions.php` file:

```javascript
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.
    

### Step 3: Save the Changes

-   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**.
    

## Common Issues & Troubleshooting 🔧

❓ **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.
    

## Final Thoughts 💡

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! 🚀
