Nevermind! Figured it out. According to the Dashboard Widgets API, you’ll need to create a function to remove the meta box:
// Create the function to use in the action hook
function example_remove_dashboard_widget() {
remove_meta_box( 'synved_connect_dashboard_widget', 'dashboard', 'normal' );
}
// Hook into the 'wp_dashboard_setup' action to register our function
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'example_remove_dashboard_widget' );
You don’t need custom code to hide dashboard widgets, you can do so by pulling down the “Screen Options” menu (at the top).
