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.
