Completely disable Events and News box (0,5 MB) + transient
-
Today I noticed that the ‘Events and News’ admin dashboard widget/box writes almost 0,5 MB to wp_options database tabel by writing a transient.
I know how to clean transients, by using a plugin. I also know how to disable the Events and News widget, by using the ‘Disable Sidebar and Dashboard Widgets’ plugin, but does this stop writing to the database too?
I generally like WordPress, but I really don’t like that so many plugins and parties write megabytes to my database and leave unwanted, sometimes sensitive (I found an old Bitcoin address too) data, once uninstalled or disabled. Why is this ‘Events and News’ forced upon us in the first place?
