Unregister Widget

Yes, see: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Dashboard_Widgets_API

In v4.5 you’ll have an option for that.

Hello Alin,

thank you for your fast reply! I missed to say that I would like to remove the sidebar widget like for example:

function unregister_default_wp_widgets() {
		unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Calendar');
		unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud');
	}
	add_action('widgets_init', 'unregister_default_wp_widgets', 1);

The dashboard widget should stay in this case ??

Thanks,
David

Just remove it from from Appearance -> Widgets, or do you want to implement some sort of conditional displaying?

I would like to remove or unregister the widget completely in this case.

Iam not using the widget in the sidebar at the moment. i just don’t want it to appear there for my client, he shouldnt be able to implement this into his sidebar.

Best,
David
