Filters whether to load the Widgets library.
function wp_maybe_load_widgets() { /** * Filters whether to load the Widgets library. * * Returning a falsey value from the filter will effectively short-circuit * the Widgets library from loading. * * @since 2.8.0 * * @param bool $wp_maybe_load_widgets Whether to load the Widgets library. * Default true. */ if ( ! apply_filters( 'load_default_widgets', true ) ) { return; } require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/default-widgets.php'; add_action( '_admin_menu', 'wp_widgets_add_menu' );}Introduced in 2.2.0. Unchanged from 6.7.7 through 7.1.0.
