Why has this guideline not already been added?<br>
<br>
"Themes may OPTIONALLY unregister core Widgets.
If unregistered, Themes are REQUIRED to replace these Widgets with
their own (extended) version."<br>
<br>
This has already been discussed and agreed on twice now. Original

represent generation - or potential loss - of user data. (Most
are lists of Posts or Terms, in various contexts.) So IMHO the
Text Widget would factor into presentation-vs-functionality,
because if a user creates text content in a Text Widget, if that
Widget is registered by the Theme (whether it replaces the core
Text Widget or not), that user-created text data would be lost
when the Theme is deactivated.

<div>Note: I have the same concern with some other
Theme-registered Widgets, such as Ad Widgets; if the user adds
an ad image or text, that content is then lost (well, buried
in theme_mods).</div>

.. Isn't this the same as having shortcodes though? since
the new theme wouldn't have the ability to use it so the
data is as said lost .. as the people who want shortcodes to
be gone made a point as being the reason; just wondering if
that's not pretty much the same.<br>

Not rehashing, just curious; because it's an interesting
thought.<br>

I would think that as long as the core widget
functionality is<br>
unaffected, it wouldn't be an issue; that is, if they
change themes<br>
there's no visible affect.<br>

I would say that it's generally a bad idea, because
people might get<br>
confused when their widgets disappear after changing
themes.<br>
<br>
Instead of replacing the core widgets, create your own
with the theme<br>
name in them. So instead of "Text" widget, you could
add one that says<br>
"Themename - Text" to show that it's specific to the
theme. Then<br>
people won't be surprised when it disappears on theme
changing.<br>

Hi all,<br>
In my theme (which is now under reviewing) I
unregistered a pair of core<br>
widgets in order to substitute them with my own
ones, because I needed to<br>
integrate them with Bootstrap.<br>
<br>
Is it allowed to unregister core plugins or not?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
