      1. In a course, create an HTML block.
      2. Configure the block, add a title and content, set visible on this page to no.
      3. Save and confirm the block is hidden.
      4. In blocks/html/block_html.php add this within the class 

            public function instance_can_be_hidden() {
        		 
                return false;
        		 
            }

      5. In the course, with editing on, see that there isn't a show/hide option in the block setting menu.
      6. Go to configure the block, under on this page, visible should be hard set to Yes.
      7. Save and confirm the block is now visible.

      If you set instance_can_be_hidden() to false for a block, the 'hide block' option is gone from the menu, but the user can still go into the 'configure this block' settings and set visible to No.
