 * Hi,
 * I have taken over the maintenance of a website from someone else. The website
   has WP Activity Log installed, but I cannot see it in the plugin list. Therefore
   I cannot perform updates. I am guessing that the previous administrator configured
   it to be hidden. That user no longer exists. How can I unhide the plugin from
   the plugin list?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello there [mikepalmer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikepalmer/) !
   Thanks
   for reaching us on this!i totally understand the scenario and we have a quick
   solution for this. All you need to do is search for the following database entries
   inside your site’s WP_OPTIONS table and remove them:
    - wsal_restrict-plugin-settings
    - wsal_only-me-user-id
 * We also have an article that describes this use case and method to regain access
   so pasting it here just for the record – [https://melapress.com/support/kb/wp-activity-log-locked-wordpress-activity-log-regaining-access/](https://melapress.com/support/kb/wp-activity-log-locked-wordpress-activity-log-regaining-access/)
   
   Let me know how everything goes!

 * Hi [@lucianwpwhite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucianwpwhite/)
 * Thank you for your reply. I had found that post. However, there are no entries
   with those names in my WP_OPTIONS table. Strange.
 * All the best, Mike.

 * Hello again!
   Thanks, really unexpected. However, can you please send us an abstract
   of all WSAL_ prefixed entries inside the WP_OPTIONS table for analysis? Please
   send them over via email so that you do not disclose any sensitive data here 
   on the forum: our email address is [support@melapress.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hidden-from-plugin-list/support@melapress.com?output_format=md).
   Once ready, make sure you reference this ticket so we can make the correlation
   between the tickets.Many thanks

   just sent to you.
 * All the best, Mike.

 * As confirmed via email, resetting the plugin settings afresh solved this!
