Hi guys,

Is it possible to disable some of the widgets available in the options? Is there a filter which can be used for this? I can’t see any mention of this in the developer docs, but wanted to double check.

Thanks!

Phil

    Hi Phil,

    You sadly cannot disable widgets via the options but you can disable them via a filter – siteorigin_panels_widgets which will allow you to filter the widgets array. Here’s an example of the data you could expect to see in $widgets (which, again, is an array):

    'SiteOrigin_Widget_PostCarousel_Widget' => 
        array (size=6)
          'class' => string 'SiteOrigin_Widget_PostCarousel_Widget' (length=37)
          'title' => string 'SiteOrigin Post Carousel' (length=24)
          'description' => string 'Display your posts as a carousel.' (length=33)
          'installed' => boolean true
          'groups' => 
            array (size=1)
              0 => string 'so-widgets-bundle' (length=17)
          'icon' => string 'so-widget-icon so-widget-icon-postcarousel' (length=42)
      'WP_Widget_Pages' => 
        array (size=6)
          'class' => string 'WP_Widget_Pages' (length=15)
          'title' => string 'Pages' (length=5)
          'description' => string 'A list of your site’s Pages.' (length=34)
          'installed' => boolean true
          'groups' => 
            array (size=1)
              0 => string 'wordpress' (length=9)
          'icon' => string 'dashicons dashicons-wordpress' (length=29)
    

    Simply unset the widget, for example, WP_Widget_Pages and it’ll hide the widget.
