    You can use whatever folder structure you want. Please refer to the plugin developer’s guide. https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/

    1. What does it matter? What’s the point?
    2. It’s in how you structure your directories.
    3. If you keep asking the exact same question over and over, you’re going to get the same answer, so please either read the documentation or explain it in a different way.

    I think this might help. My question is something like this wordpress DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT
    but I need to disallow specific file not all files in plugin/theme directory.

    Hi @wp-marvin261, how are you?

    Actually there’s no point to hide files in dashboard because users still can edit/see them in FTP or plugin’s official repository or even in SVN.

    But anyway you can change the folders to be excluded from the tree using the filter plugin_files_exclusions.

    This array is passed to list_files:

    $list_files = list_files( $dir, 100, $exclusions );

    And used to “skip” the folder/file.

    (thanks @pross for indicate the filter)

    Hi Mario Valney. Folder exclusion from the tree is what I am looking for. Right now I see many files from JQuery. I want to exclude or hide them from the tree of files in plugin editor.

    But I do not know how to use these code. Can you give me an example code how to use this?
