Dashboard widget problem with timeout

Hello, and thanks for the plugin, it’s very usefull.

I’ve got an error since few weeks on a hosting.

The dashboard widget “News From Solwin Infotech” has a timeout error, it is loads for 10 sec before sending me this error:

Something went wrong : cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 5001 milliseconds

Erreur RSS : WP HTTP Error: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds

This is very embarrassing for the users of the site. I have this error only on one hosting, not on another website with another hosting.

I’ve tried to fix the error by adding this to my theme:

remove_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'latest_news_solwin_feed' );

and also

function latest_news_solwin_feed() {}

but for some unknown reason, it doesn’t solve the problem, the widget is still displayed on the dashboard.

I’ve finally fixed it by adding comment directly into the plugin:

//add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'latest_news_solwin_feed' );

but the problem will still appears after a new plugin update. Is it possible to make a fix for this ? for example check if it’s possible to contact the RSS feed, or disable this widget in settings ?

Thanks a lot.
