    Hi. I tried looking for the widget class to hide this plugin’s widget from Appearance>Widgets but I could not find it (it had dashes instead of underscores). I always declutter my widgets area and so far, only this plugin’s widget class I haven’t figured out yet. Or even better, provide an option to hide the widget altogether in settings?

    Hi Martin,

    You can right click it, and choose “inspect” and you should see the ID of the widget, something like “widget-50_koko-analytics-most-viewed-posts-__i__”

    Since it’s an ID you add # in front of it in CSS, so

    #widget-50_koko-analytics-most-viewed-posts-__i__ { display: none; }

    Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know!

    I am using PHP to hide the widgets, not CSS. This part koko-analytics-most-viewed-posts didn’t work. My code is like below. As you can see, the widget classes have underscores in default widgets and those added by other plugins. I would like to do the same for this plugin,

    function unregister_default_widgets() {
	unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Categories');
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'unregister_default_widgets');

    I think it should be this:

    function unregister_default_widgets() {
    unregister_widget(‘KokoAnalytics\Widget_Most_Viewed_Posts’);
    }
    add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘unregister_default_widgets’);

    For non default WordPress widgets you need to include the Namespace.

    Let me know if that doesn’t work.
