Hide Plugin Name From WP Client

by Blixim Posted: 13 years ago 9 replies

I have various WP plugins with developer licences which I'd like to install and use on client sites.

How do I hide the plugin names from the clients so they don't go buy their own plugins and start doing their own SEO?

Is there a way to do this?

You can modify the plugin. From what I've seen on WP plugins the main file is basic.php but I haven't fully written any of my own plugins yet.

PHP Code:

/*/ Plugin Name: Plug in name Plugin URI: plugin website Description: plugin description Version: version number Author: plugin author Author URI: author website License: license holder? /*/

Modify this and your client shouldn't be able to tell anything about it. You can also change the folder name in the wordpress "wp-content/plugins" folder

  Modifying the plugin may violate the license. Your best bet would be to not give the client admin privileges.

  Thanks otfromtot .. !
  
  I have been Googling for hours and can not find ANY help on this. I have found a code snippet that goes into the functions.php file to re-name the plugin name in the Admin Panel menu (left). Tested it and it works. Great!
  
  The problem now is on the new page/post itself. Say the client creates a new page/post ... and scroll down below the normal WP title and text boxes ... he gets to the "data input boxes" with the different fields for the specific plugins. Those "data input boxes" has the plugin names on it. The grey banner/title/heading to the box with all the plugin data fields. I need a way to change those "headings" ... ?
  
  Can any WP php coder help me out here please?

  Purchasing and installing another plugin that the site owner could easily deactivate using FTP or a file manager would be a waste of time and money.
