[Feature Request] Disable widget Media Breakdown

    If you hide a widget, is it still actively collecting data? The Media Breakdown widget is sort-of trashing our server, and we don’t have the need to show this data. Is simply disabling it for all of our users sufficient or do I need to remove it with a filter (?). Or could you offer an option to either show/disable the dashboard widgets.

    Have to agree with JeanPaulH on this. I kept it running for 2+ hours on end and it didn’t finish populating that widget. (We have a large image setup which might be to blame)

    But making it a modular with a real on / off option would be better then plainly hiding widgets you dont plan on using.

    As for grabbing resources while hidden; it should not do that as far as I can tell.
    It’s hidden on our end and not doing anything in regard to hogging resources.

    Hi @djr! Thanks for the feedback. If you hide the widget its hooks aren’t called so it won’t use resources, as @patrick_d1985 says.

    We wanted to avoid settings, in the spirit of WordPress’s “decisions not options” paradigm, but I will make a note to add a filter to allow our widgets to be programmatically disabled – for cases where they are not needed by any user. Look out for it in a future version.

    Please note that licensed users get priority support, although we do look at all issues mentioned here.
