Does unregistering them the also disable the database queries? Goes in functions.php: //Unregister all Default Widgets function unregister_default_wp_widgets() { unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Pages’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Calendar’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Archives’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Links’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Meta’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Search’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Text’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Categories’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Posts’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Recent_Comments’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_RSS’); unregister_widget(‘WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud’); } add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘unregister_default_wp_widgets’, 1);
