# Rename or hide the plugin on client websites

The WP Foreman plugin has to stay on each website, but your clients don’t need to see it. You can give it your own name, or hide it completely from everyone except the people you choose. It keeps working either way.

## Set it up

1. Go to **Settings › Branding** and scroll to **The plugin on your websites**.
2. To rename it, fill in the **Plugin name**, and if you like the description, author and author link. The **Settings menu name** is what shows under Settings in wp-admin (it defaults to the plugin name).
3. To hide it, tick **Hide it** and list who can still see it under **Still visible to**: WordPress usernames or email addresses, separated by commas.
4. Click **Save and send to websites**. Every connected website gets the change within a minute or two.

## What changes on the website

- **Renamed:** the Plugins list shows your name, description and author, and the “View details” link (which would show WP Foreman’s own page) is removed. The plugin’s settings page uses your name too, without WP Foreman’s logo.
- **Hidden:** anyone not on your list doesn’t see it in Plugins or under Settings, and gets “not allowed” if they open its settings page directly. So they can’t deactivate or delete it by accident.
- The people on your list see it as usual (with your name, if you set one).

## Good to know

- It needs **WP Foreman plugin 0.9.8** or newer. Update from the Updates page; websites still on an older version get your branding automatically once they’re updated.
- The list of people who can still see it is the same for every website. A name that isn’t a user on a website simply has no effect there.
- To undo it, clear the fields (and untick **Hide it**) and save. Everything goes back to plain WP Foreman.
- Client reports and report emails are branded separately, at the top of the same page.
