Remove Unwanted Widgets in WooCommerce
Okay, now we continue with cleaning up WooCommerce admin from the unneeded stuff. In this tutorial I suppose that you or your client does not need all the default widgets that appear after you install the WooCommerce plugin.
And by the way – at the moment of creating this tutorial I didn’t find a list of default WooCommerce widget names anywhere over the internet, which of course surprised me. So I retrieve all the widget names directly from the code.
Let’s come back for a second to a key idea of deregistering a widget which is quite simple:
add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
unregister_widget('Widget_Class_Name_Here');
unregister_widget('Another_Widget_Class_Name_Here');
});Actually all you have to do is to run unregister_widget() function within widgets_init hook.
And here is the list of WooCommerce widgets.
