6 years ago You can use $widgets_manager->unregister_widget_type to remove any Elementor, Elementor Pro or any other 3rd party plugin widgets that are registered (assuming its done correctly), you simply need to make sure are already registered before you remove them.
The Pro widgets are registered on default priority which is 10 so you just make sure you run your hook after that for example with priority of 15:
add_action('elementor/widgets/widgets_registered', function( $widget_manager ){
$widget_manager->unregister_widget_type('form');
}, 15);Ok done for pro widgets too. Still can't hide the wordpress widgets since I can't find a list of wp widgets names. How to?

6 years ago @stratboy - This might help. Note however that the function removes all WP Widgets as opposed to individual.
If you know the widget's id_base then you can simply use the same method for Elementor by simply appending the id to the name in place of the variable shown at L42

Can someone pls help me with this?
thank u so much
seaware
commented
2 years ago @luan0409 The solution I arrived at to hide ALL pro widgets is a variation of what @rafaelhsouza-dev posted above. Here's the code I put in functions.php that worked for me:
add_action('elementor/editor/after_enqueue_styles', function($widgets_manager) { echo '<style>#elementor-panel-category-pro-elements, #elementor-panel-category-theme-elements, #elementor-panel-category-woocommerce-elements, #elementor-panel-get-pro-elements {display:none;}</style>'; } );
If it doesn't work also for you, then it likely means the "selectors" for the elementor widgets is different (the items starting with #elementor-panel-category.... above). In that case you'll need to use the browser's inspector development tool to examine the selectors for the widgets you want to hide. This is also how you can hide some widgets and not others.

2 years ago Not sure if still relevant, but I was struggling to disable the Elementor Pro widgets. I've found instead of using the hook 'elementor/widgets/widgets_registered' using the hook 'elementor/widgets/register' works. So my code looked like this:
global $elementor_widget_blacklist;
$elementor_widget_blacklist = [
'... array of elements/widgets you want to disable'
];
add_action('elementor/widgets/register', function($widgets_manager){
global $elementor_widget_blacklist;
// uncomment to list all registered widgets, for debuging only
// foreach($widgets_manager->get_widget_types() as $name => $widget) {
// var_dump($name);
// echo '<br>';
// }
foreach($elementor_widget_blacklist as $widget_name){
$widgets_manager->unregister($widget_name);
}
}, 99);If you are not sure what the name/slug of the widget is you can uncomment the $widgets_manager->get_widget_types() loop and then simply load your home page to see them all listed.
And if you want to simply hide the widgets/elements from the side panel in the elementor editor, but still want the widget to work on the site you can use:
add_filter( 'elementor/editor/localize_settings', function( $settings ) {
global $elementor_widget_blacklist;
// uncomment to list all registered widgets, for debuging only
// foreach ($settings['initial_document']['widgets'] as $key => $setting) {
// var_dump($key);
// }
foreach($elementor_widget_blacklist as $widget_name){
$settings['initial_document']['widgets'][$widget_name]['show_in_panel'] = false;
}
return $settings;
}, 99 );I think this seems to work for hiding promotional (pro) widgets too, if you don't have the pro version. Also works for the Essential add on plugin.

1 year ago All the solutions here didn't work for me. The only working solution was the CSS. Here a functional code in 2023:
add_action('elementor/editor/wp_head', function () {
echo '
<style>
#elementor-panel-category-pro-elements,
#elementor-panel-category-theme-elements,
#elementor-panel-category-theme-elements-single,
#elementor-panel-category-woocommerce-elements {
display: none;
}
</style>';
}, 100);Since the PRO widgets are generated by JavaScript and not registered directly by Elementor, there is no more possible to disable them in PHP. The only solution is to hide the panels.

Hi, I would like to clean up the editor since most of the time we use just the 10% of all widgets.
I learned how to unregister default Elementor widgets with
$widgets_manager->unregister_widget_type, but it seems it doesn't work for Elementor Pro widgets: they seem to be 'modules' rather than 'widgets'.How to?
