Awesome plugin man. Wow, you talk fast in the video
Thanks
Ha, yeah, sometimes I forget that I naturally talk really fast and need to slow it down . . .
Keep it fast! You save me time!
Hi. I just installed your plugin – looks great, thank you.
Now I’m having one problem left:
—-> If a comment is too short, the one after it doesn’t appear in a row – like in my screenshot here: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3742/betterrecentcomments.jpg
Is there a way I can fix this?
I’ve answered you on Code Canyon.
Hi…
great plugin.. i needed a plugin like this.
but, i cannot translate… is prepare to internationalization??
best regards
All strings in the plugin are localized. How are you trying to translate it? Through a translation plugin?
ok
very good script thanks
Seems like a good widget.
Looks great. Great effort. My wishes!
how I can edit the CSS styles?
thanks, awesome plugin!
There is no CSS included with the plugin. It is all controlled from your theme.
Does it work on mutlisite installs?
Is it possible to list posts from categories?
It does work on multi site though it will not list posts from across the network, only the current site.
Yes you can list posts by category.
Hi Pippin,
With the upgrade to wordpress 3.5 this plugin starts throwing the following warning
PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /nas/wp/www/cluster-1048/hondackg/wp-content/plugins/better-recent-comments-widget/better-recent-comments-widget.php on line 75 and defined in /nas/wp/www/cluster-1048/hondackg/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990
Any idea how to fix and prevent this warning message ?
I installed this plugin in 3 different sites of mine and even though it stil works fine, I want to make sure this does not turn ugly along the line
Sorry for the delay. I’ve just submitted the update to fix this issue and it should be live within 24 hours.
