So, I hid someone on Facebook so I didn’t have to listen to their political opinions. Now I want to “unhide” them.

How do I go about it? They are still on my friends list.

Go to the bottom of your newsfeed and click “Edit Options” and you can do it from there.

Owe you a six pack.

When you hide someone, the popup tells you how to restore them to your news feed. But it goes by fairly quickly and most folks miss it.

I actually just went to the help section and searched for “unhide.”

So did I- it didn’t work for me.

It gave me a list of “unhides” about applications and such but not what I was looking for.

1. Go to [www.facebook.com](http://www.facebook.com)
2. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on “Edit Options”
3. Unclick people you want unhid

Yeah - “Edit Options” really is horribly named for this function.
