 * I have a client that will not be needing Portfolio, but it confuses them to still
   have it visible in their menu.
 * Recommendations on smoothly and neatly hiding or deactivating that widget without
   making a complete mess in a child theme?

 * Hello there,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us here.
 * Technically speaking, you can delete any custom post types like Services, Testimonials
   and Projects by using the unregister_post_type() function. For Portfolio/Project,
   you can use the following PHP code.
 *     ```
       add_action('init','sydney_child_delete_portfolio');
       function sydney_child_delete_portfolio(){
   
           unregister_post_type( 'projects' );
   
       }
       ```
   
 * To apply it on your site, add it into your child theme’s functions.php or use
   [the My Custom Functions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/)
   plugin without child theme.
 * Regards,
    Kharis

 * Gah, your awesome, that works perfectly! If I needed to, in lieu of deleting,
   is there a quick and easy way to rename? Say I wanted to have “Testimonials” 
   show as “Endorsements”, for example.

 * Sorry Kharis, just wanted to followup and see if you had a solution for renaming
   the admin widgets.
 * Thanks!
