🚀 About

OUGC Hide Administrator Location is a MyBB plugin designed to enhance privacy and security. With this plugin, administrators can effortlessly hide their location from the Who Is Online (WOL) list, ensuring their presence remains discreet. Additionally, the plugin allows for selective user and group hiding, providing administrators with greater control over who appears in the WOL list. However, administrators retain the ability to see the location of any user at all times.
