How to remove all widgets temporarily?

[tiltdigital]

Hi,
I’m trying to remove all widgets from the admin area as we don’t want our client to have this functionality until later in the project. As with the native WP widgets I’ve tried to unregister the Tribe widgets in my functions.php (so not to mess with your core files) but so far I can only manage to get the Countdown widget to disappear. This is the code that I’m using:

function my_unregister_widgets() {
unregister_widget( ‘TribeCountdownWidget’ );
unregister_widget( ‘TribeVenueWidget’ );
unregister_widget( ‘TribeEventsMiniCalendarWidget’ );
unregister_widget( ‘TribeEventsAdvancedListWidget’ );
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘my_unregister_widgets’ );

But only the first one is doing what I’d expect. I’ve tried searching your forums and Google, but can’t seem to find the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Howdy,

The following code snippet should work:

function my_unregister_widgets() {
unregister_widget( ‘TribeCountdownWidget’ );
unregister_widget( ‘TribeVenueWidget’ );
}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘my_unregister_widgets’, 10 );
remove_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘events_list_load_widgets’, 90 );
remove_action( ‘widgets_init’, array( TribeEventsPro::instance(), ‘pro_widgets_init’ ), 100 );

The widgets have a high priority which makes them hard to remove, but removing the action will work.

I hope that helps you. Let me know if I can assist further.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply!
That’s pretty much done exactly what I was hoping for, except the “Events Featured Venue” widget is the only still showing in the Widgets list.
Thanks

Howdy again,

That is strange. Try adding the following line which removes the action for the widget as well:
remove_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘tribe_venue_register_widget’ );

You are very welcome! Please let me know if that works.

Almost, but you gave me enough of a hint to figure it out!
remove_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘tribe_venue_register_widget’, 100 );
Did the trick. 🙂
Thanks

I am glad you got it working on your server as well. Thanks for sharing your solution.
