Need help with remove_action()

php, wordpress, wordpress-theming

Solution

This is the correct code:

add_action('wp_head', 'remove_widget_action', 1);
function remove_widget_action() {
    global $wp_widget_factory;

    remove_action( 'wp_head', array($wp_widget_factory->widgets['WP_Widget_Recent_Comments'], 'recent_comments_style') );
}

However, it doesn't work because of this bug.

Problem

I'm trying to remove the unsightly embedded `<STYLE>` tag the built-in Recent Comments widget puts in my `<HEAD>`, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. It originally calls ``` add_action( 'wp_head', array(&$this, 'recent_comments_style') ); ``` to add it (in wp-includes/default-widgets.php, line 609), and I'm trying to undo it. I think it should be something like this: ``` remove_action('wp_head', 'WP_Widget_Recent_Comments::recent_comments_style'); ``` but with all the variations I've tried I still can't get it right. Does anyone know how to achieve this? Possibly Helpful: - Function Reference: `remove_action`
