Why do I need this plugin with Meridian One theme:
This plugin adds widgets that are used on the homepage of the theme. The widgets are not part of the theme because widgets are “plugin-territory” and are not allowed in themes.

This simple plugin allows you to disable any sidebar and dashboard widget for the current WordPress site you are on. It provides a simple user interface available to users with <code>edit_theme_options</code> capabilities (usually Administrator role) available under Appearance -> Disable Widgets. 
After saving the settings, the sidebar and dashboard widgets are removed from and the user can’t see those widgets anymore.

Widget Disable

I've been getting annoyance on the growing amount of default widgets (I'm looking at you JetPack) but didn't realize there was an easy way to get rid of them till someone linked this in one of the WP FB groups.

Removed 27 of them. Dang, I think that's pretty invasive!

Thanks for making this possible.

Wow, didn't realize how much I needed this

Disable sidebar and dashboard widgets with an easy to use interface.
