# Can’t Hide Plugin PHP Errors (deprecated)

 * Hi! Thank you so much for such an awesome plugin.
 * I ran into an issue when trying to hide warnings about deprecated functions in
   the **[Google for WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/products/google-listings-and-ads/)**
   plugin. It is installed via the WooCommerce extensions, not through the WordPress
   plugin repository.
 * I tried using this filter inside my theme, but it didn’t help. I noticed that
   the `$levels` variable is an empty array, even though QM shows 3.5K errors.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'qm/collect/php_error_levels', function ( array $levels ) : array {	$levels[ 'plugin' ][ 'google-listings-and-ads' ] = ( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );	return $levels;});
       ```
   
 * I would really appreciate your help, and I can provide more information if needed.

 * Is the plugin installed into the `wp-content/plugins/google-listings-and-ads`
   directory? Or somewhere else?
 * That `$levels` array just controls the options for filtering which errors get
   collected and shown, so it won’t contain any actual data by default unless something
   hooks into the `qm/collect/php_error_levels` and adjusts it.

 * Yes, plugin path is `.../wp-content/plugins/google-listings-and-ads`
