Hi

I am trying to remove the “Right Now in Forums” with a function but i don´t know hoe to target it. Someone how knows?

Code below:

function disable_default_dashboard_widgets() {

    // Right Now Widget

    remove_meta_box('dashboard_right_now', 'dashboard', 'core');

    // Comments Widget
    remove_meta_box('dashboard_recent_comments', 'dashboard', 'core');

    // Incoming Links Widget

    remove_meta_box('dashboard_incoming_links', 'dashboard', 'core');


    // Plugins Widget

    remove_meta_box('dashboard_plugins', 'dashboard', 'core');


    // Quick Press Widget

    remove_meta_box('dashboard_quick_press', 'dashboard', 'core');


    // Recent Drafts Widget


    remove_meta_box('dashboard_recent_drafts', 'dashboard', 'core');


    // WordPress Blog Feed

    remove_meta_box('dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'side');


    // Other WordPress News


    remove_meta_box('dashboard_secondary', 'dashboard', 'side');


// bbPress widget 'Right Now in Forums'bbp-dashboard-right-now
// *******Does not work right now *******//    
remove_meta_box('bbp_dashboard_right_now', 'dashboard', 'core');}

if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
    add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'disable_default_dashboard_widgets');

}

Hi, I know this post is quite old, but just in case you didn’t find it, heres the solution:

change bbp_dashboard_right_now and write bbp-dashboard-right-now

Exactly what I want, thanks!

For others I was able to remove the widget by adding the following line to [wp docroot]/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php

remove_meta_box('bbp-dashboard-right-now', 'dashboard', 'core');

Specifically line 55, just above the line
