# Hide Custom Menu widget

 * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-custom-menu-widget/)
 * Does anyone know how to hide or unregister the ‘Custom Menu’ widget that is automatically
   added to the Available Widgets list?
 * I wish to only make visible specific widgets and to hide all other default widgets
   I have used the unregister_widget in my functions.php file, as follows:
 *     ```
       unregister_widget( 'WP_Widget_Archives' );
       unregister_widget( 'WP_Widget_Calendar' );
       unregister_widget( 'WP_Widget_Categories' );
       ...etc...
       ```
   
 * I cannot find the applicable name to hide the ‘Custom Menu’ widget. Can anybody
   help?
