One way could be to use classes and objects. It’s more efficient considering reusability, collective work and more. I don’t think it’s bad to use global variables if you know what you’re doing.

I got the following tutorial a very good start for a widget creation: How to Create a Custom WP Widget — WPBeginner And I used the tutorial and made my own first widget for my plugin. You can get all my code here in Github.
Add below hook to your theme function.php file add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_pre_get_posts’ ); function custom_pre_get_posts( $q ) { if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return; if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return; if ( ! is_admin() && is_shop() ) { $q->set( ‘tax_query’, array(array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’, ‘field’ => ‘slug’, ‘terms’ => array( ‘private-clients’, ‘charity’), // Don’t display products … Read more

Since you ruled out remove_action there is only one way you can do it. And you’ve guessed it: preg_repalce, substr mixture but with a little help and PHP DOM add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘my_start_footer_ob’, 1); function my_start_footer_ob() { ob_start(“my_end_footer_ob_callback”); } add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘my_end_footer_ob’, 1000); function my_end_footer_ob() { ob_end_flush(); } function my_end_footer_ob_callback($buffer) { // remove what you need from he … Read more
