Hello all,
The following are instructions on how to install a user script manager and the custom script I put together that makes the hidden button on the My Cloud web interface visible. Setting up a script manager and installing a script should be quick and easy.
It is basically as follows:
-
Install a user script manager. This is just a browser add-on that enables the use of custom-made scripts. It is the same process as installing any other add on (like an ad blocker). The process is detailed here, there is also a list of user script managers for different browsers. Because I use Firefox the script manager I use is Greasemonkey. On Chrome you would likely use Tampermonkey.
-
After you have a user script manager installed the next step is to install the script. The custom script for un-hiding the hibernate button can be found here: WD Un-hide “Hibernate” Button Script. This will add the script and should enable it automatically.
-
The last step is to tweak the script to suit your set-up. In your browser’s menu there should be an “Add ons” button, and then once you’ve gone into that a section called “User Scripts”. Once there right click on the “WD Cloud Unhide Button” entry and select “edit”. The only thing necessary to change is the IP address of the WD My Cloud. You can find it in the address bar when you access your WD My Cloud web interface. Once you have your unit’s IP address you need to edit the script. Change the line “@include http://192.168.1.07/" to your own address. For example, "@include http://10.1.1.2/”. Once this is done, the script should be properly configured. Simply save and all is done.
And that’s all there is to it.
