Great plugin works pefectly good job.

easy and intiuitive to use; but not localized

By koblizekr on September 15, 2020

plugin se kterým jsem byl dosud velmi spokojen "Get Recent Comments" přestal s novou aktualizací WP pracovat, tak jsem musel hledat jiný. Tento je také jednoduchý, intuitivní, ale pro ne-anglické weby je nešikovné, že do textu píše anglické slovo "ON" (opravil jsem - comments-widget-plus/includes/functions.php:71) ve zdroji, ale po aktualizaci zase určitě bude anglicky.

Works As Expected!

Great plugin, with a several options to help show recent comments on widget. Works well (no php notices, php errors, etc.).

this plugin is Excellent and has many useful options. i hope an option be added to be able to exclude some people's comments from widget. thanks

Great but...

By Sirmadsen (Nesdam1981) on September 28, 2019

Could use an option to limit how many characters should be shown in title. I have a lot of titles that are very long and it just looks weird. So for example if you could shorten "This is a very long title of a post that I made" to "This is a very..." Otherwise, it looks really good and works as intended.

Very useful plugin that works as described

I was looking for a way to display latest comments on a widget easily and this plugin does exactly that. One suggestion that would increase its usefulness is to make it possible to choose the number of words that will appear for the title, just we choose the characters for the comment excerpt. Otherwise, good job!

Can't select page/post to pull comments from

There's no way to pick a specific page or post to pull its comments from and display them on your widget location.

Star rating / comments plugin

By checmark (ChecMark) on May 26, 2019

We've been looking for hours for a plugin that would allow us to add a widget in our pages that would allow visitors to submit a review and a comment, something we feel would be very popular. All we could find were review plugins that would add a review to pages or posts, similar to core WordPress . For example, we have an entertainment page that reviews local entertainment with photos and video. We would love to be able to add the ability for people who were there to add a star rating and a comment. Ideally it would simply allow selecting up to a five-star rating, then a comment with an excerpt and "read more" if the comment was more detailed. Perfection would be allowing other users to rate the comments. The plugin would require registration with a name and email address or login to reduce SPAM, which would drive traffic to a site and grow the user base. No doubt many site developers would happily pay for a Pro version.

Right on the target

This plugin i s just perfect. I does exactly what it should, everything works just fine, you can easily tune the look and feel via settings or css. I wish more plugins were like that. Thanks!
