I continue to get updates from siteorigin even after removing the plugin. one update did damage to my site. I’ve read about how to remove the widget but I’m not at all clear on those coding instructions. Hoping I can get simple instructions to remove the widget.

Hi Laura
Thanks for posting your question.
Please can you clarify which SiteOrigin plugin was removed and what you mean by an update? You mentioned reading about removing the widget; please can you clarify the name of the widget you’re removing?
Hi,
I removed Site Origin after trying out Unwind. I continue to get updates from Site Origin so I did some research and learned that the widget is still there and updating. I never used the widget, I know nothing about it but I wanted it gone because a previous updating of SO messed up my site.
Removing plugins has been easy for me, I’m new to WP so this has been frustrating.
Hi Laura
Thanks for your reply.
Please take a screenshot of your plugins list and another screenshot of the widget. Please upload both to any online location like Dropbox or WeTransfer and send us the link. We’ll take a look and advise from there.
Site Origin is no longer on my plugin list. I don’t have any widgets on my site. The update caused a problem last time even though I was no longer using the plugin. read about widgets on your forum and that they don’t get removed which is why I keep getting updates.
How do you know that you’re getting plugin updates from SiteOrigin?
I get notices of them.
Please take a screenshot of the notice, and upload it to any online sharing location like Drive, Dropbox, or WeTranfer. Share the link here, we’ll take a look and try to understand what you’re describing from there.
If you previously installed the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin and then deactivated and deleted the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin, SiteOrigin Widgets will no longer be installed or available in your WordPress installation. You can confirm this by going to AppearanceWidgets, typing CMD + F or Ctrl + F for Windows, and doing any in-page search for “SiteOrigin”. If the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle has been deleted, you won’t see any SiteOrigin Widgets available.
If the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle and all other SiteOrigin plugins have been deactivated and deleted, you won’t receive SiteOrigin plugin updates as they are released. If you have a SiteOrigin theme installed, it’s possible you’re receiving theme updates. You can check your themes list at AppearanceThemes.

Hi Hans
At the moment, it’s only possible to add/remove widgets from the add widget dialog using code. There isn’t a way to do this within the WordPress admin itself.
Here’s how you’d do that with code.
function mytheme_remove_widgets($widgets){
unset($widgets[‘Unwanted_Widget_Class’]);
return $widgets;
}
add_filter(‘siteorigin_panels_widgets’, ‘mytheme_remove_wid
The Add Widget dialog is a screen within SiteOrigin Page Builder. The reply above isn’t related to adding or removing widgets from WordPress.
This morning I received this notice of an update. Site Origen is no longer a theme or plugin on my site. I do not know how to remove this bundle.
Just added a link to the screenshot of the update notice.
Thanks for the screenshot. The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin is installed and activated at https://r9h.ccd.myftpupload.com/. Please check the Plugins list within WordPress at https://r9h.ccd.myftpupload.com/wp-admin/plugins.php.
Thank you.
You’re welcome. All the best.
