Hiding certain widgets?

Hi

I would like to remove the default buddypress widgets from my users Available Widgets area in their blogs dashboard as they confuse people / don’t work correctly but I can’t seem to find any code examples / plugins to allow this?

Ideally I want to remove the Welcome, Members, Who’s Online, Site Wide Activity, Recent Blog Posts and the Groups Widgets from the /wp-admin/widgets.php page.

Any rough code pointers most welcome as I am willig to try to do the work and document it here

Well, you could either delete them from BuddyPress core (not a good idea), or unregister them in your theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks for this Jeff.

For now I have removed the whole widgets area on the end users blog dashbords as I haven’t got time to code this but I will write up some code here to help others with similar issues in the next few days.
