# Needs WC Admin to work!

 * Plugin needs Woocommerce Admin to work which is rather unique behaviour, I’ve
   installed to test dozens of WooCommerce-related plugins and this one is the first
   to have such requirement. And it is a very poor decision as WooCommerce Admin
   is very resource-heavy and buggy, it puts unneeded burden on the server while
   adding useless features. So enabling it just to use this plugin does not make
   sense.

 * Hi [@titsmaker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/titsmaker/) 
   hope you’re 
   doing well!
 * Thank you for your comment,
 * WC Admin is indeed a requirement, BUT, the plugin checks if WC Admin was disabled
   using the standard filter `woocommerce_admin_disabled`
   That means, deactivating
   the WC Admin using the filter bypasses the requirement verification:`add_filter('
   woocommerce_admin_disabled', '__return_true' );`
 * Hope this helps!
   Best,_Diego_

 * Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t quite get what you wanted to 
   say. As I don’t see any bypassing the requirement no matter how I deactivate 
   WC admin via this filter or via plugin which uses the same filter BTW, the plugin
   just does not work unless WC admin is active.
   Why on Earth you set such a requirement?
   WC admin gives nothing to 90% of shop owners but eats up a lot of server resources
   and adds a good chance of some problems right away or in future (there were hunders
   of reviews mentioning site crashing).
