plugin se kterym jsem byl dosud velmi spokojen “Get Recent Comments” p?estal s novou aktualizací WP pracovat, tak jsem musel hledat jiny. Tento je také jednoduchy, intuitivní, ale pro ne-anglické weby je ne?ikovné, ?e do textu pí?e anglické slovo “ON” (opravil jsem – comments-widget-plus/includes/functions.php:71) ve zdroji, ale po aktualizaci zase ur?itě bude anglicky.

Works As Expected!

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.
