[theme-reviewers] Unregistering default widgets

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Q. Does it affect any plugins or other stripends if someone did deregister and reregister their custom widgets?  
A. No? (can’t think of any)

Actually, I use this. Mainly due to a lack of a better work-around (though I'm open to ideas). I needed to modify the container markup slightly, to implement the "show/hide" links for the Widgets. Rather than simply forking the core Widgets as *new* Widgets, I deregister the core Widgets, and then re-register my modified versions.  

I don't mind using a different approach, if anyone has a good suggestion. I mainly just don't want to load jQuery just for such a simple effect.

  I am pretty sure that this would be considered as "locking" the core functionalities and not really sure what would be the reason and scenario when author would unregister default widget and replace them with Theme-specific. If this is not in review and I can't find it either, well it should be for sure. Good eye Konstantin! 


  My 2c!

    Hi all,

    I didn't find documentation on whether it is allowed for Theme authors to unregister default widgets.
    Is it?

    Thanks,
    Konstantin
