With the following code in the functions.php.
function hide_plugin_trick() {
global $wp_list_table;
$hidearr = array('plugin-folder/plugin.php');
$myplugins = $wp_list_table->items;
foreach ($myplugins as $key => $val) {
if (in_array($key,$hidearr)) {
unset($wp_list_table->items[$key]);
}
}
}
add_action('pre_current_active_plugins', 'hide_plugin_trick');
However, if the plugin also makes an entry in the backend page menu, it will not be hidden by this code.
