Hiding plugins
Keep plugins off the Plugins screen for everyone but administrators.
Note
This is part of Adminline Pro.
If people other than administrators can open the Plugins screen (for example, a client role you gave the right to manage plugins), you can keep some plugins out of their list, so they aren't deactivated by mistake.
On Settings → Admin Menu → Client mode, under Plugins list:
- Adminline: tick Hide Adminline and Adminline Pro to keep both out of the list.
- Other plugins: tick the plugins to keep out of the list.
Click Save Changes.
The plugins keep running; they're only left out of the list for everyone who can't manage options. Administrators always see every plugin, so you can't lose track of one.
Note
Hiding a plugin from the list doesn't stop someone who is allowed to manage plugins from doing so in other ways (WP-CLI, for example). To take that ability away, change their role's capabilities with a role editor.
