New WordPress widget: Recent Comments

When I wrote post about my palmtops story WordPress added many pingbacks into my older posts (which I linked to). As a result all of them appeared in “Recent Comments” widget. This hide real ones so I decided that it is time to change something.

And thats how “Hrw Recent Comments” widget was created. I took wp-includes/widgets.php file from my WordPress MU installation and extracted original widget. Then one edit of SQL query and everything works like expected — no pingbacks to my blog posts in sidebar.

Download plugin.

License: same as WordPress (as it is WP code mostly).

UPDATE: fixed SQL query to make it really work.

    I don’t know how you expect people to really use this. ONE file and is it .PHP?? I surmise so. However, how to rename this? ADD the PHP or write over the ” .1 ” extension?

    Vladimir, http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins-i-use, has taken your info off his site. I googled and found you.

    However, I cannot use this without some kind of help file.

    @Leanne Boyd: just unpack archive and put contents in wp-content/plugins/ directory of your blog.
