Hi, thank you for this plugin, which is exavtly what I am looking for. However, on WP plugin page (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-recent-comments/) it says it is compatible only up to WP 2.3. I have WP 2.5.1. Is it working with it? If not, are you going to update it?
Thank you for your answer!

Nadglobtrotter: It works with WP 2.5.1 but you should disable the cache in options/recent comments/misc.

Hi,
I’m also having trouble with special characters… I’ll try to fix it by hacking the code by adding some of the php functions to convert special characters to HTML.
If I’m able to fix it I’ll let you know.
I’m pretty sure the problem is in the encoding of how the comment is save/retrieved from the DB but I’ll will take a closer look.

2008-06-09 at 11.48 pm
Well… I just made a few tests… adding htmlentities didn’t do the trick. Also… I just checked and the comment gets displayed perfectly on the admin area (dashboard, comments, etc.).
Any ideas?

Hi, I’m having trouble with this plugin in WP 2.0.11. I can’t upgrade my WP install due to the version of MySQL (3.23) running on the server available to me. Here’s the error I get:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ON ID = post_id WHERE ID IN (5,3)' at line 1]
SELECT * from wp_posts JOIN wp_post2cat ON ID = post_id WHERE ID IN (5,3);
Looks like a great plugin. Wish I could use it.

Trey: Disclaimer: Preprare yourself to get in more worse trouble because you run old software with tons of security holes. Having said that: go to http://blog.jodies.de/blog/get-recent-comments/old/ and fetch older versions of the plugin. I would recommend to try the youngest and go step by step to the older versions until you find a version that still supports WP 2.0.11. I would acknowlegde, if you would tell me which version works for you, because until now I thought 2.0.11 is still supported.

Hi there,
Know anyone which plugin to use if I want only a part of the article to be displayed? If someone want to read more there will be a “read more” link…
On my blog right now is displayed all of article content and I don’t want this…
I’m talking about the latest 10 articles displayed on the first page of my blog.
I’m using Wordpress.
Can anyone help?

hello. thank you so much for this plugin. i have a question though: on my blog’s sidebar, instead of the “recent comments” title appearing normally, i keep getting this:
%BEG_OF_TITLE%recent comments%END_OF_TITLE%
how can i change it??? i would appreciate help asap. thank you!!

I upgrade WP to 2.5.1 and i have this error in the sidebar in the widget of get recent comment:
%BEG_OF_TITLE%Recent Comments%END_OF_TITLE%
Why?
Diego
2008-06-25 at 12.25 am
ok ok i fix the error!
unchek the misc option “cache the output”
thank
Diego
2008-06-25 at 12.33 am
Diego (and anybody else who has this problem): This only happens when wordpress is just upgraded to something newer than 2.4.x It disappears automatically, when you receive the first comment, or you click “save settings” in the plugin configuration. Or in other words: when the cache gets refreshed.
Krischan
2008-06-25 at 7.03 pm
I think I found the condition triggering %BEG_OF_TITLE% problem:
1. Update options in get_recent_comment admin page.
2. View main page, the title should be ok.
3. Go to widget admin page, and click the button updating widgets sidebar.
4. Boom!
Looking into WP 2.5 source code, seems everything related to BEG_OF_TITLE and END_OF_TITLE are widget related. I haven’t dived into detail yet, though I have a guess:
Under wp_list_widget_controls_dynamic_sidebar() in wp-admin/includes/widgets.php, the “before_title” widget parameters is set to that value, is it possible that get_recent_comments just invalidated the cache and set the before_title to this value?
Anyway, I just take a look at the native recent_comment widget, it never stores any widget args inside its cache; the only thing stored in cache is the mysql result. The output is composed out of the result afterwards, including the title, and the warping <li>’s. Maybe this plugin can do the same?

Hi Krischan–
I LOVE how customizable this plugin is! Thanks so much! One question:
Gravatars don’t seem to be loading correctly in the sidebar comments–I’m seeing the default gravatar on every comment, including ones that display the correct gravatar in the inline comments. Here’s the code I’m using:
“%comment_excerpt” (from %comment_author, on %post_title)
Am I missing something? (Switching to just “%gravatar” instead of my customized img tag doesn’t seem to work either….)
: /

2008-07-08 at 2.24 am
Oops–your comments interpreted my comment code. :-p
The code, with square brackets in place of angled, is this:
[li][a href="http://threetwelve.net/blog/gravatars/"][img src="%gravatar_url" width="40" height="40" hspace="5" border="1" align="left"][/a]“%comment_excerpt”[i] [font size="xx-small"](from %comment_author, on [a href="%comment_link"][i]%post_title[/i][/a])[/font][/i][/li]
David
2008-07-08 at 2.27 am
UPDATE: It’s working now. Apparently (coincidentally) the only folks whose comments I saw in the sidebar had used capital letters in their e-mail addresses. When I used wp-admin to change their e-mails to all lowercase, their gravatars appeared magically in the sidebar….
Glad it wasn’t something wrong with the plugin!
David

Abel: Thank you for the support!
Krischan
2008-07-09 at 11.08 pm
David: Thank you. Although you found a workaround, I consider this as a bug in the plugin. It should change the e-mail adresses to lower case before presenting them to the gravatar server. I will fix it.

hi
there is a small problem with this plugin – whenever i post Polish diacritic signs along with a quote sign it does not display it properly, it would show some strange symbol – testing it here: “test ał” – if this plugin is used here you will see that symbol (diamond with question mark inside).
the comment displays correct on the comment list but in the sidebar it wouldn’t. the problem is only with the letter “ł” – which strangely when written alone in quotes does not cause this..
thanks
bzx
2008-07-20 at 11.51 pm
“test ał” – testing it again to show you the error because my previous post was longer and got chopped.

Seems like this plugin is compatible with Wordpress 2.6 I’ve tried it, install it and working fine on WP 2.5 sit But doesn’t show anything on wp 2.6
No error on instal and plugin activate process, it just doesn’t show my recent comment on frontpage. Nothing wrong with the php code too.

Krischan — First off, great plugin! Super useful and very customizable.
I’m wondering whether you plan to support displaying comments by category. In my application, I’m trying to display a page that shows recent comments on category-specific pages.
Like this for example: http://gabwith.us/category/diy-and-home-improvement/
Currently it’s displaying all recent comments across the site, I’d like to limit it by category.
Thanks, and great work!

Hallo! Verwende dein Recent Comments-Plugin und bin fast ganz glücklich. Es gibt einen Bug, der etwas störend ist: Wenn man, nachdem das Recent-Comments-Widget bereits hinzugefügt wurde, alle Einstellungen vorgenommen wurden und alles wunderbar läuft, ein weiteres Widget hinzufügt, passiert etwas seltsames: Das Recent-Comments-Widget muss neu konfiguriert werden. Es reicht, wenn ich unter Einstellungen einfach auf “Einstellungen aktualisieren” für das Plugin klicke und alles funktioniert wieder, tu ich das nicht, so wirkt es so, als ob die CSS-Ergänzungen, HTML-Änderungen und alle weiteren Einstellungen nicht übernommen würden.
Meine Seite arbeitet auf Wordpress 2.6. Für Fragen schick mir doch bitte einfach ein Mail.
Michael
2008-07-28 at 9.10 am
Hallo Michael: Deaktivere doch bitte mal in den Plugin Option im Reiter “misc” die Option “cache the output (recommended).”. Ich vermute danach hören die Probleme auf.

You can reply at my email if you like.

Hallo Krischan,
vielen Dank für das großartige Plugin.
Eine Frage habe ich allerdings. Gibt es die Möglichkeit mit %gravatar_url die lokalen gecachten Gravatare anzusprechen? In einigen Fällen habe ich Gravatare nämlich nur lokal und nicht auf dem gravatar.com Server.
Vielen Dank
Hendrik
2008-08-14 at 4.46 pm
Hallo Hendrik, die Gravatar Routinen in dem Plugin sind zu alt für dieses Feature, die müssten mal auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht werden.
Krischan
2008-08-14 at 5.06 pm
I was able to fix the special charactes issue with the comment author applying the following code:
function filter_fix_special_chars_moi($autor) {
$autor = htmlentities($autor, ENT_NOQUOTES, "utf-8");
return $autor;
}
add_filter('get_comment_author','filter_fix_special_chars_moi');
add_filter('comment_author','filter_fix_special_chars_moi');
This fixed my problem when displaying regular comments but not for the recent comments plugin since it is not using the wordpress functions. Is there a way to include it somehow?
Moises Kirsch
2008-08-15 at 6.30 am
Moises: What exactly is the problem? Special characters in author names? Or also elsewhere? Can you give me examples? Maybe somewhere on your blog?
Krischan

Actually good news, after tweaking the options by leaving the closing li tag for the second line in Template for the post open box and closing it in the Template for the comments window after %comment_date, I limited the number of comments to 1 and…it worked. I could of sworn I tried this before posting here, but perhaps I messed up, anyways, thanks again.

I have 2 questions…..
Would it be possible to do the following things:
a) get recent comments from posts belonging only to one category?
b) get first 3 recent comments from one post? This would work like that…i would have summary news on the frontpage and i would like to show the 3 most recent comments after the summary….
Is that possible?

Hi, I’m using WP 2.6.1
I’ve installed the plugin and I’m using it as a widget, but for some reason I can’t get the comment excerpts to show up?
It shows the data on ” on ” instead of using the template?
I feel that I’m missing something simple here…
Shaun
2008-08-27 at 5.23 pm
Yup… nevermind… nevermind…
Recent comments != Get Recent Comments
Shaun
2008-08-27 at 5.24 pm
Dave,
I found a way to get alternating colors without modifying the code.
Since the commenter’s name is a link you could make links display in block, change the background color, and set the width to the same pixel size as your sidebar all in your CSS. What will happen is that the poster’s name will be on it’s own line with one background color and the comment excerpt will be on the next line with a different background color.
I accidentally have it setup that way on my blog now
Shaun
2008-08-27 at 7.39 pm

Relequestual:The workaround is to disable the cache option of the get recent comments plugin.
Since the release of WordPress 2.5 some users reported, that their blog shows something like “%BEG_OF_TITLE%” instead of “Recent Comments” (or whatever they configured as title). The author of the plugin was not able to reproduce this bug until now (and hence not able to fix it), but it looks like the problem disappears, if you disable the cache option of the plugin:

to graphics on display. At the moment WordPress is set to: convert to graphics. Do I need to do anything else?

Great to hear….it´s possible to sort the comments by a category…
So how would it be done?
Something like that??

I´ve got different categories..and in every category i want to display comments by that category….
Let´s imagine i want to show only comments belonging to category 3…

2008-09-02 at 11.45 am
Krischan,
I have a prolem with the plugin. The way it displays in my side bar is not as i want it to:
if you refer to my site, you’ll know what i mean.
Example:
yfa
:Been waiting since 2004 to vote for him!
instead i want it to show as:
yfa: Been waiting since 2004 to vote for him!
Also, if you notice, if you click on each comment, it links to the post and not the commnet you are clicking on.
This is what is showing in teh code:
%comment_author: %comment_excerpt
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Iman
2008-09-04 at 4.23 am

Where can I find that link?
I was able to fix some stuff since I last posted the above messag pertaining to layout … however I am still having problems with linking to the comment itself and not the entire post… (mentioned above: Also, if you notice, if you click on each comment, it links to the post and not the commnet you are clicking on) …

2008-09-04 at 6.22 pm
To clarify more…
When I click on the comentator’s name, under comments section in the sidebar, I am linked to the post and not the commentator’s comment I am clicking on. Any idea how I can fix this?

Krischan

Krischan,
I did… I tried that but it did not work …
see the difference between the two:
http://iman-a.com/2008/09/05/arghhhh/#comment-554245
and
http://blog.jodies.de/archiv/2004/11/13/recent-comments/#comment-491654
the first link point to the post, even though the link shows the comment number – hence you would think it would point to that specific comment like it does in the 2nd link i provide.
This is the code I use for the template for the comment:
%comment_author: %comment_excerpt
Any idea what the problem may be?
Iman
2008-09-08 at 2.31 am
Any way to include comments that have been posted on an attachment page? See this page, http://quiltinggallery.com/?attachment_id=824 lots of comments, but they aren’t appearing in the Recent Comments in the sidebar.

Hi,
Would it be possible to get the recent comments from my WP guestbook?
Katrine
2008-09-22 at 4.30 pm
hi,
everything works fine, however i want to modify how the list of comments are dispayed in my sidebar.
basically, i want to modify the code that gets to this in the published html page
<li id=”get-recent-comments”
where is the php for this line of code, i simply cannot find it anywhere….all i want to do is to change the id to another value so that it will be similar to my other lists in the sidebar.
thanks
Inal
2008-09-26 at 2.13 am
Inal: Have you already looked into the admin interface of the plugin? You can change the published html without changing the php code. That’s the reason, why you didn’t find the code – the html is generated from the user supplied template. The html is not “hard-coded”.
Krischan
2008-09-26 at 9.37 am
guys, help me out with this.
if i go to the html source code of the page where i have the widget for your plugin, i see the following:
Recent Comments:
Abradj: EAGLES WE ARE
the second comment
the third comment
etc
what i want to change is the first li which corresponds to the widget itself. not the actual list of the comments that were made. For the list of comments, i understand that you can do it from the admin page.
Now, the text u see above ” ” is something that was automatically written. Not by me, and as far as i know, i cannot change it from the admin page.
have i missed something in the admin page?

Nabend Krischan!
Sehr geniales Plugin und eins was wohl auf keinem BLog fehlen sollte. Aber ich habe einen interessanten Fehler gefunden, vielleicht weißt du woher dieser kommt.
Wenn ich in einem anderen Widget in der selben Sidebar in der das Get Recent Comments Widget drin ist etwas ändere, egal welche Einstellung, zerschießt dies das Get Recent Comments Widget teilweise. Genauer gesagt gibt es dann Probleme mit der Überschrift, die sich dann wie folgt liest:
%BEG_OF_TITLE%Letzte Kommentare%END_OF_TITLE%
“Reparieren” ließ es sich bisher immer dadurch das ich auf die Einstellungsseite des Get Recent Comments Plugins gegangen bin und dort einfach die Einstellungen “update”, ohne jedoch irgendwas verändert zu haben.
Wäre cool wenn du einen Fix für das Problem hättest, auch wenn es nichts schwerwiegendes ist.

Inal: {li id=”get-recent-comments” class=”widget widget_get_recent_comments”} is not made by the plugin. This part of html is generated by wordpress and the theme. If I were you I would not use the plugin as a widget, and modify the sidebar.php file instead.

Hi,
habe dein Plugin bei mir installiert, nun aber ein kleines Problem bemerkt.
Vor kurzem habe ich aus persönlichen Gründen die Kommentarfunktion in einen reinen Moderationsmodus umgestellt. Also gehen alle Kommentare erstmal nicht online, bevor ich dem nicht zugestimmt habe.
Die Komentare die ich nun frei gegeben habe, erscheinen jedoch nicht im “Recent Comment” Bereich. Habe schon versucht den Chache zu leeren und auch die Cachefunktion des Plugins deaktiviert. Keine Besserung. Es sind nur die Kommentare zu sehen, die vor der Umstellung veröffentlicht wurden.
Eine Idee?

There is a fatal error in the plugin when the blog is installed on subdomain and the host redirects it to a certain directory.
In order to make this plugin work on all istallations you should consider changing:
into:
/wp-admin/options-general.php
on every instance in the lpugin’s php file.

Hello, I´ve just updated to WP 2.6.2 – and as I have been a great fan of your really nice pluging I´m really sad that it doesn´t seem to work with WP 2.6. I get really confused comments there – the output just starts somewhere in the middle of my blog with no chance to geht the “latest” comment on Top. Don´t know why… I´ve tried for hours to solve the problem

Orangetree – I run several blogs with the plugin. It does work under any version of wordpress, including the 2.6 series. To enable me to help you, you should provide information about your installation. As a first step I would recommend to test, if it works when you temporarily switch back to the default theme, because “it starts somewhere where it’s not supposed to start” sounds like a bug in the theme. And by the way – we can speak german, if you like

2008-10-15 at 11.45 am
one more question: could the plugin be changed so that it doesn’t just use the gravatar function but instead use the built-in function call of wordpress?
I am interested in this, as right now, wordpress shows either gravatar, and if not available shows wavatar or something else… and I’d like to keep avatars similar, not having mistery man inside comments, and in the sidebar something different.
I hope my request is understandable as my English is not that good.
ovidiu
2008-10-15 at 11.57 am
Hello!
Thank you for the plugin.
You plugin is incompatible with another great plugin:
“Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu”
The problem is that the menu of configuration of your plugin isn’t showed in the configuration page.This issue results in not to be able to go to “misc”options of your plugin and change the cache configuration…
I have to disable the other plugin to change that. No other problems with Ozh Admin Menu
Thank you,

Been using GRC for over a year with no problem. Suddenly, it’s stopped displaying new comments. The last comment it shows is from Oct 23. Since then, even comments from the same commenter that previously showed up don’t display.
I’m using 2.0.2. Don’t know when I updated, but probably on the day the new version was released.
I tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin, resaving the config, turning the cache off then on again, but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!!!

For those of you having problems with WordPress incorrectly displaying special characters or buggering up words, e.g. inserting spaces where there shouldn’t be, turning normal single quotes into strange entities (not html entities), etc. — you can fix this by updating the plugin with the following modification:
Plugin Name: Get Recent Comments
Version: 2.0.2
Line 1247: remove $comment_excerpt = strip_tags( wptexturize($comment_excerpt) );
replace with:
$comment_excerpt = strip_tags( $comment_excerpt );
The “wptexturize” method does not appear to be well documented (or implemented: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wptexturize), but this resolved some formatting issues on several blogs that I have used the plugin.

Krischan: Thanks for the reply.
Just after my last post here, GRC started displaying again. It had just skipped a few comments. Now, it’s regularly omitting some comments, and displaying others.
I’m currently using 2.0.2. I tried everything: deactivating and reactivating, cache clearing.
This has happened since I started using GRC over a year ago. At first, it would skip comments from one particular commenter, so I figured it was something do with that address. Over the while, a comment would occasionally be missed. But now, it’s quite a few.
I can’t see a pattern. These are all regular comments, some with web site URLs, some without.
I know it sounds weird if it’s happening to no-one else, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Alrite, here’s the idea: having posts loop, with recent comments on each, not just comment count.
This plugin will successfully accomplish this idea, except one simple lil thing. The post excerpt.
I wonder if there’s a way to call the post excerpt? As it’s already written to display post title and having its permalink, so I thought it should be possible to call the post excerpt and displaying it. I ‘ve looked around inside the plugin codes, and can’t find anything that refer to any functions to display post excerpt. I might missed something as usual.
Thoughts?

Any thoughts?
Andrea Hill
2008-12-24 at 4.07 pm
Andrea, I think you don’t need to program, because the feature already exists. Check “Exclude comments by blog authors (your own comments)” and “Also consider usernames and e-mail addresses, to recognize blog authors”. Then all comments made by registered e-mail addresses are filtered out. In most blogs the only registered address is your own address and we are done.
If you still need to customize: look for the funktion kjgrc_is_wordpress_user() and search there for unwanted users.

Hi Krischan,
I’ve been using your plugin for quite a while now and I love what it can do. Recently I’ve updated it but I forgot a friend of mine changed it to show the local avatars too. Now I can’t seem to get that back and my friend doesn’t know what he changed anymore.. So my question for you is: Is there a possibility to show local avatars if a user doesn’t have a gravatar ?
Sometimes my posts have a long post_title. I’d like to shorten it to maybe 5 characters but this is only possible through the ‘Long comments are chopped off at’ feature. If I change that of course none of the comment is showing. Something I don’t want. So therefore my second question: anything I can do to change the length shown for the post_title ?
Thanks anyway for the great plugin !

“#comment-$comment->comment_ID”;
to just
$comment_link = get_comment_link($comment->comment_ID);
so that the &cpage=x is included when one uses paginated comments (as supported in WP2.7)?

Hi Krischan,
Love your plugin – it has worked fine until recently. It will work perfectly, then suddenly just stop posting new comments. I haven’t touched the settings or changed anything… but two times now the plugin just ceases to add new comments. It keeps whichever comments were moved to the main page recently, but no new ones show up. I’ve tried deactivating/activating. I’ve tried deleting the plugin and re-installing it, nothing works.
What’s strange, though – is that when I delete and reinstall it – somehow the plugin has remembered the style settings I changed for the comment display. Those same day-old comments will show up, but the several comments since that point still do not.
Anyone else have this problem?
Chris
Chris
2009-02-11 at 10.48 pm

I fixed the problem, though I’m not sure how. I updated to 2.7.1 and that seems to have done the trick – although before they comments stopped posting, it was working just fine in 2.7.

2009-02-12 at 3.35 am
Chris: When comments are not updated the reason is most probably another plugin which prevents “get recent comments” from getting notified about new comments. The workaround is to disable the cache of “get recent comments”:

Shane, I have to confess: I have no clou on what piece you are programming. Is this for a theme? Has this something to do with my get recent comments plugin? Can I do something? What is the question for the answer “42″?
Where do I have to put your code sample to see the problem?

Dear Krischan.
Thank you very much for a great plugin. I am trying to integrate your plugin into my front page, so that every post show the 3 most recent comments(or exerpts if they are too long) on the front page.
How can I modify and use your plugin for this?
Again, thank you very much!

Hey, I love the plugin, Thanks!
I have a couple edits (adding some php variable to keep track of the comments in the list) that helped me style the comments a bit closer to what I already had on my site. Would you be interested in incorporating those into your plugin? Let me know and I can send you my edits (nothing hard, but I figured if I wanted those fields, others might as well).
Thanks again!

Having issues with %author_url_href. It’s not returning anything… so the only way I can find to include the url is href=”%author_url” which gives a blank href=”" if the comment author has not included a url. Thanks!

the fix to the %author_url_href issue I was having
edit:

$author_url_href = "";
to:

After i installed the plugin, I was able to go to “get-recent-comments.php” page where the admin panel is. However, when I click on any of the options (Comments, Trackbacks, Categories, Gravatars, Misc, Instructions), the URL is attempting to do a redirect to “…/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=get-recent-comments.php&subpage=1″ throught “…subpage=6″, and it brings me to my wordpress login page, and I cannot log in with my login and password. Any idea why this is happening?

Hi – I have three problems with the plugin:
1. In the result-box on the configuration page the following output code is displayed:
Om den dybt ufornuftige narkopolitik
Balder: Under al den debat om…
The code displays a specifik post and a specifik comment – do you know why?
2. I’d like to exclude my own comments, but the plugin only does this for exactly that post included in the code above?
3. I’d like to make the post title bold/strong, but no matter where I place … it’s doesn’t work.

raapil:
1. The specific post and comment is the latest post and latest comment. It is there to help you to design the template.
2. Then this is the only posting where the rules (”filter out authenticated user” / “filter out e-mail and/or username) apply.
3. HTML tags in the template do work.

I think there is a problem with the algorithm to wrap long words. Chris Murphy (above 2008-11-12) suggested a solution which may remove the problem if a “word” contains a tag making it long e.g. <b>Longwordwhichgetssplit</b> – the problem arises when the word gets split in the middle of a tag – but there is also a problem with character entities e.g. –Longwordwhichgetssplit&#8212; – again the problem arises when the word gets split in the middle of the entity.
Rick
2009-03-05 at 1.37 pm
That last example should read “Longwordwhichgetssplit”
Rick
2009-03-05 at 1.43 pm
Rick: Yes that is a problem, we can not solve completely at the moment. Or – we can not solve it without implementing a html rendering engine
To really solve it, it would be necessary to make the code to interpret html entities.
And it also should interpret Unicode multibyte characters, where the same problem occurs, when the whitespace gets inserted into a multibyte character.
Both problems are a job for php, I think we can expect functions for it in php 6.
Meanwhile two of my favourite choices are: Live with broken wrapped words, or deactivate the “wrap long words” feature and live with “broken” sidebar content. I am in doubt that removing the wp_texturize function is a good idea. Does it help at your site?
Krischan
2009-03-05 at 5.40 pm
Hi Krischan, thanks for your reply. I was afraid that might be the answer and I hadn’t even considered the Unicode problem. I was hoping that there was an existing WP function that stripped out all tags and collapsed entities in a string. Not going as far as interpreting the HTML, just removing it, but if it doesn’t exist then I agree, it is a bit much for a simple plugin to do it.
In the tests I did, removing the wp_texturize call didn’t improve matters, I’m not even sure what it does. I have temporarily bypassed the problem by increasing the wrap long words threshold to a much higher number. Is that the correct way to disable the feature? I am fortunate that, in English, there are few very long words in regular use. In German I can see that it may be a more serious problem.
Rick
2009-03-06 at 9.19 am
Rick: It is the only way to “disable” the feature at the moment. I think I should make it optional and disabled by default, since there are lots of people in the asian area which might find it annoying.

Hello,
I have been playing with Get Recent Comments v 2.0.2, and found a bug. Anytime the widget panel is saved in v 2.7.1 of Wordpress, the title of the comment panel appears as:
%BEG_OF_TITLE%Recent Comments%END_OF_TITLE%. To fix this, I have to update and save my recent comment options. Thank you.

Hey Mate
great plugin and love the fact that it caches too.
NO criticism at all but just wondering if it is possible to display page comments with the post ones together?
Just have a lot of comments on one of my pages and would be nice to have them included.
Thanks again for making a fully featured and easy ti use comments plugin!

I have exactly the same problem as Chollaball.
Whenever I edit my widgets, My Get recent comment panel
reverts to
%BEG_OF_TITLE%Recent Comments%END_OF_TITLE%.
To fix this, I have to update and save my recent comment options.
Can you fix this?
I’ve had this in all versions of WP, now I use 2.7.1

2009-03-17 at 10.15 am
Thanks very much for the nifty plugin.
The text of the plug in comments are overflowing my sidebar a bit, a problem I do not have anywhere else on the sidebar.
I am using WP 2.7.1 with the Press Row theme, which I have substantially modified. My sidebar isn’t widget ready so I loaded and activated the plugin and placed the code where I wanted it in my sidebar.
Everything works great, except for a slight leakage of text at the right side of the sidebar.
I will appreciate any suggestions.

Nick: The php function is available in php since php version 4.2. Because wordpress documentation says, at least 4.2 is needed for wordpress, I thought it would be ok, to use this function.
I think I am going to make the function call optional – if it is not available I will use the old variants. Please let me know wether the next release works for you. (And what php version your host runs).

Thanks for the recent fix on the Unicode string excerpt. It saves me from mocking around with the code myself.
One enhancement to this already great plugin will be the option to skip blockquotes in excerpt. I tried adding this at line 1291 and it seems to work:
$comment_excerpt = preg_replace("|

I miss the opportunity to use recent comments widget on more than one widget area.
As of now, if I use the build-in widget in my sidebar, then I can’t add it to my footer widget as well.
I know I could use the php code, but then I have to use exec-php as well.
This is especially an issue when customizing widget areas with widget-logic.

Hello,
Thanks for this excellent plugin which we are using on our community blog. However, since upgrading to the plugin’s latest version, for some reason “%post_counter” is only outputting to total comments in English which used to be Bangla (localised). I can see that you have changed the output in two places: where it used to be “number_format_i18n($post_counter)” instead of simply “$post_counter”. I tried to revert them back but it is not working. Is there anywhere else where I should revert the changes?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
With regards

Hi, thanks for your excellent plugin, I just started to use it in my blog.
I notice there is a minor error that I would like to highlight to you. In the Macros <a %author_url_href … eventually the output become <a a href=”http://…
Also I have made some modification to the get-recent-comments.php file in my blog. A new macro $author_url_full_href is added to the file, so that when %author_url is empty it only display author name, rather than it display an empty link. Here are the modification:
// line added
$author_url_full_href = “comment_author_url\”>$comment->comment_author“;
if (empty($author_url) || $author_url == “http://”){
$author_url_href = “”;

Aah, Sie haben wahrscheinlich etwas gefunden: wenn es am zweite oder dritte Platz ist, gibt dieses Problem nicht SOLANGE das Widget direkt oben ist ein “Offiziell” Widget und nicht ein Plugin-widget… (z.B. Authors => kein Problem / Language picker => Problem). Wenn ich setze Get Recent Comments wieder oben es bleibt “Korrekt” bis ich wähle ein andere Thema. Wenn ich lasse “Authors” oben, es geht für alle Themen.
Ich werde es so benützen bis Sie das Problem korrigieren, obwohl ich mag am besten Get Recent Plugin ganz oben

I’m embarrassed, but I just realized how to bring up the gravatar! Here’s another question, though. So far all recent commenters don’t have a gravatar, so the default gravatar shows up.
Is it possible to bring up identicons instead of the default gravatar? Thanks!

Hi Krischan,
I love this plugin. Thanks. I am using it as a widget in wordpress 2.7.1 – I would like the oldest comment to be at the top and the most recent comment to be at the bottom; how can I fix that? I don’t know much about html, so if you can supply the code and tell me where to put it that would be so helpful! You can see how I have it set up now on my blog at the URL provided.

Hi, thanks for this great plug-in. It looks like it should do everything I need, but I’m having trouble with the options. The changes to the settings are not reflected on the output. The only way to make changes seems to be by clicking the edit widget button — and that only allows changing the number of comments and the title. I don’t seem to have the other options that show in your illustration. In fact my menu options in Wordpress are different than you show. I don’t have “presentation”, I have “appearance”. Is this a difference between my 2.7.1 and older versions?
In particular I was interested in getting the content of the comments on the sidebar (just as shown on your website) which should happen even in your default mode. I’ve tried different themes and don’t see the content in any of them.

Hi there, I’ve been playing around with the category excluder functionality and it doesn’t seem to be working for me.
1) When I exclude one category – the comments on posts in that category continue to show up in the output.
2) When I selected to “include” all the categories except one – it worked fairly well but it seemed to be not including at least one category that I wanted included.
Any ideas, links?
thanks, Mike

Hi,
I have the Profile Picture plugin installed, and when I use “%profile_picture” for the recent comments, nothing shows up at all.
I use this code:
%comment_author: %comment_excerpt
And everything shows up perfectly in the result except the profile images, they do not show up under recent comments in the sidebar, they only show up in the actual comments section of posts.
Under “Results” in the plug-in options page, the src part is src=”" , so the %profile_picture isn;t being updated there. Is there a way to fix this !?

Hi,
I love the Recent Comments plugin! Question: how do I link the post_link to the title of the post (in addition to the commenter’s name?)
For example, in the comment below I want to make the post title “Making Envy Work for You – Helen Gurley Brown” a hotlink that takes readers directly to the post itself.
Gini Grey: Another great article Laurie. I’ve been playing with turning envy around lately, but… Making Envy Work for You – Helen Gurley Brown
Thanks!

Hi
I need to integrate the code of this widget into the sidebar.php because it has four other items. I did it like with the others by copy and paste. It does not work at all. If I activate it as a widget, it replaces the existing sidebar.
What should I do to keep the sidebar and your functionality?
Thanks for helping!

I’m having one problem with this otherwise terrific plugin: post titles are not wrapping.
This makes the formatting a bit clunky because the right margin becomes very jagged.
Is there a way to ensure that long post titles are not moved down to a lower line, but wrap over two lines?
Thanks,

this doesn’t worked with Wordpress’ built-in paged comments. The links to individual comments re broken unless the comment appears on the first page of the comments. Otherwise, the links don’t work.

Is it possible to give get_recent_comments() variables, if I want to use it several places in my theme.
For example:
get_recent_comments(4)
Would get the recent comments from category ID 4

I have the same question as @Ronny…
would love to be able to use multiple instances of the plugin and define how many recent comments to show each time.
Charles
2009-06-25 at 8.45 pm
Thank you so much for the great plugin!
I also have the same question as both Ronny and Charles; is there a way to use multiple instances of the plugin on the same page, and choose from certain categories (just like Ronny showed)?
I did see you told @ferriol that by comments seperated by categories is not yet possible, looking for work around using multiple instances and calling specific categories.

Hi Ronny, Charles an Eric: The plugin is not able to take variables from the function call. The is a frequently requested feature – I will implement it, but I can not promise, when.
Krischan
2009-06-30 at 10.55 am
cylenre: I am sure, that you experienced a coincidence. The plugin does nothing with the passwords, and a serious bug like this would have been known earlier, because there are thousands of installations of the plugin in the wild.
Krischan
2009-06-30 at 10.59 am
The code change above suggested by Chris Murphy above corrected a but which I have noticed since first using this plugin with WP 2.3, where punctuation was incorrectly formatted only on the recent comments list. I would strongly recommend this be done in the base code.
It’s line 1291 in the current version 2.0.6
Thanks for the handy plugin!

When I installed a different widget I must have put PHP into a less-forgiving mode, because I started getting errors like
Notice: Use of undefined constant comments – assumed ‘comments’ in /home/jerssoft/public_html/muddled/wp-content/plugins/get-recent-comments/get-recent-comments.php on line 928
It seems you have a few unquoted values that should be string literals, two on line 928 and two on line 929. Not a biggie but you probably want to clean those up.

Hi there, fantastic plugin. Does anybody have any suggestions for a peice of code I could add to the plugin to add a ‘next’ and ‘previouse’ button that would display the previouse X (how ever many comments have been set to be displayed) comments.
Thanks
Tarka
2009-07-15 at 3.06 pm
@Mitul
There is a category ID in $post->term_taxonomy_id. If the post belongs to several categories, it’ll contain the last category found in the database.
@Krischan,
your plugin is fantastic. I’ve written a plugin too : Category Icons (v2.1 is compatible with WP2.8+) and I have a request : could you please add thoses lines in your plugin to add compatibility with my plugin :
if (function_exists( ‘get_cat_icon‘)) {
$output = str_replace( ‘%post_icon‘, get_cat_icon(’cat=’.$post->term_taxonomy_id.’&echo=0&link=false’), $output);
}
%post_icon will then display the category icon of the post. To be more precise, it’ll display the LAST category icon, as $post->term_taxonomy_id contains the last category found in the database if the post belongs to several categories. I’ll be very happy if my plugin was compatible with your Get recent comments plugin !

Irgendeine Idee? Dankeschön!

I’m sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question, but I’m attempting to use this plugin on a site I am working on. I’m using the latest version of Wordpress MU, 2.8.4. It is working excellently on all but one page. The page is a single post view containing a poll. (wp-polls by Lester Chan). On the problematic page it is not displaying the name of the commentator. I have removed the recent comments from this page temporarily as this is an active site.
If you have any ideas as to how I can correct the problem please let me know. Thank you for the otherwise wonderful plugin

Hi Krischan,
Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful plug-in! I have only one small issue, and I’ve searched for an answer with no luck so far.
Basically the recent comments seem to be cutting off arbitrarily–in some cases only after 2-3 words, even though I have the character limit set to 120 (on WP 2.8.4, with the latest recent comments build).
Here’s the site (www.emandlo.com), which is a dating/relationship/advice site, so the content is a tiny bit NSFW. The comments are on the left, and seem to cut off–some earlier than others. Any idea how I might fix this?
Thanks again for your excellent plug-in, and thanks so much in advance for any suggestions you might be able to offer as to how to address this issue.
Cheers!

There’s no punctuation there at all… why is that comment from “Rob” cutting off early?
Thanks so much, would appreciate any help on this.

Weird bug: We have a website with lots of comments and consequently the comments are shown on multiple pages. We display the oldest comments first, so the newest ones are on sub-pages. The problem is that when a new comment is added on these sub-pages, the comment links in the Widget aren’t working. It looks like they just don’t have the proper url structure.
Anyone bumped into this issue? Could it be because the plugin can’t handle multiple comment pages?
Thanks for the great plugin!

Krischan
2009-09-25 at 11.16 am
Steph: You are right: Putting comments on multipe pages is a pretty knew option in wordpress, and the plugin doesn’t know how to handle that. Until it does I would recommend to let the plugin show less comments than you put on one comment page. Since it only shows the newest comments, there shoud be only links to the first comments page. And this is backwards compatible.

I have just recently upgraded to 2.8.4 from the legacy 2.0.11. I’m pretty sure that the recent comments plugin was working in the first couple of days after the upgrade. But as of today, the sidebar doesn’t update unless I go into the plugin settings and hit “update recent comments options”.
The only change I’ve made was to switch all the wp database tables from latin1 to utf-8. But this started occurring a couple of days earlier when I was failing to make the database switch and having to restore the databases entirely from backups.
Any ideas about what I might have done to cause this error?

Hi Krischan,
Thank you for the great plugin! I’ve used it before on previous versions of WP and it was working fine, but now I’m having problems with WordPress 2.8.4. I’m testing my site here http://crimefiles-bg.com/wordpress/
Recent comments is in the bottom-right part of the site. The problem is that the comments from certain posts make it crash or something and it doesn’t show anything. And the posts in question are not the same every time, sometimes it’s one, then other, then even two or three at a time. When I disable the comments under these posts it’s working but when I add new ones (no matter under which post) it starts behaving again.
Tried to disactivate the plugins but it still won’t work. Then I switched to the default template, turned off all the plugins and when I put recent-comments in the sidebar it won’t work on the homepage but only in posts.
I hope you have any ideas what may be the problem and if it’s fixable. I really would like to use this wonderful plugin:)

Hello,

which adds clickable images for readers to vote in the Likes vs. dislike fashion.
I had user asking for a widget to display comments with the voting results in sidebar. You have done a excellent plugin/widget and I have no intention of reinventing the wheel.
Could I branch off you plugin and add the Comment Rating images and votes? To be mroe specific, I’ll create a Comment Rating widget using your code and follow your release schedule. Of course, the work will be attributed to you.
Please let me know whether this is ok with you.

Bob, I think the best way would be to add a macro “%rating”. At the first glance it looks like it’s easy to use to add support for your rating function. Feel free to branch off. I will backport the changes to the next plugin release, to save you from having to patch it over and over again.

Is this a bug? Anyone know how to get around this?
Cheers,

Hey Krischan
This is a terrific plugin. The options are incredible. I’ve recently changed the way I’m doing widgets on one of my sites (now using section widget) and I can’t get GRC to work that way. Had the same issue with another plugin, but using a shortcode for the output solved it. Any chance of getting a shortcode for the output of GRC?

Oh … barring the shortcode, another option might be the ability to designate what page the plugin output appears on … for example, i’m only looking to have it on the main page.
thanks … and again, great plugin.

Hey!
I have a tricky question.
On my blog I’m using the allow categories plugin to restrict access to certain categories to non-logged user. Can we manage to get recent comments for restricted categories only when we are logged and get recent comments to the other categories only when we are not logged to the blog ?
Thanks,
Tom
