Better WordPress Recent Comments

Better WordPress Recent Comments

This plugin displays recent comment lists at assigned locations. Comment lists are updated on the fly when a visitor adds a comment or when you moderate one. Does not add any load for end-users.

Last Updated on October 23, 2011
1.2.0 RC1 (08/04/2011)
  • You can now group comments by post (inspired by the classic Get Recent Comments plugin).
  • You can now have AJAX navigation for any recent comment list you want! Comment list on a separate page also supports AJAX.
  • Templates available for both grouped comment lists and the AJAX navigation.
  • Added a shortcode ([bwp-rc]) to show recent comment lists on a separate page.
  • More template tags for you to use:
    • %author_archive%: link to a comment author’s archive page if found.
    • %comment_count%: the number of comments for the current post.
    • %comment_number%: a comment’s number in the list, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc. Useful when showing comments on a separate page.
  • Added a new CSS file that will be used when you disable avatar.
  • Now uses date_i18n function for comment date so that it can be localized by default
  • A lot of bug fixes and other improvements which make the plugin much faster and more stable!
