    Your plugin works wonderfully, but how do I remove the new widget areas that have been added to the Widgets page? These will only confuse my client.

    Hi @redkite,

    Check this article that explains how it’s possible to remove the widgetized areas.

    Hmm – actually that doesn’t do anything. They are still there.

    it can be because of the single quotes format on WP Mobile Menu site.
    Try to copy the code below.

    function remove_wp_mobile_menu_widgets(){
// Unregister the Mobile Menu Widgetized Areas.
unregister_sidebar( 'mobmlefttop' );
unregister_sidebar( 'mobmleftbottom' );
unregister_sidebar( 'mobmrighttop' );
unregister_sidebar( 'mobmrightbottom' );
}
 
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'remove_wp_mobile_menu_widgets', 11 );

    add it to a child theme functions.php so it won’t be lost with any theme update

    I missed the single quotes in the add_action line before, but they’ve been replaced now. And this is in functions.php, this is a Genesis custom theme. I also tried adding the unregister_sidebar lines to existing code to remove other sidebars, but they are still there for some reason.

    @redkite that’s strange.
    I just didn’t understand if you tried the code I provided.

    If you tried, need to ask something in private. Can you email me to contact [support AT wpmobilemenu DOT com]
