When logged into your WordPress dashboard, you may notice a couple sections (widgets) such as Unpublished Drafts, Quick Stats, At a Glance, WordPress News, among others.
Most of these dashboard widgets are pre-added by WordPress, but the number of widgets displayed could go up or down depending on your theme and/or plugins. Some themes and plugins add their own widgets to the dashboard.
While some widgets may be of use, do you really need them all there? Do your clients need to see them? Do you/they need to see each of these widgets every time you log in?
Perhaps you had to put up with these widgets because you had no way of getting rid of them, like me. When I found out how easy it was to remove as many dashboard widgets as I wanted to.. I just had to share!
Best part is, you can do this without weighing your site down with another plugin, only using a few lines of code!
