Stop displaying trackbacks in Recent Comments widget

    I setup a widget that displays recent comments on my website using the code below. However, that code also displays trackbacks, which I don’t want.

    Is there anyway to modify the code below to not display trackbacks, only legitimate comments? Thanks. 

    <?php
$query = "SELECT * from $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved= '1'
ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT 0 ,5";
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($query);

if ($comments) {
echo '<ul style="list-style-type:none">';
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$url = '<a href="'. get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID).'#comment-'.$comment->comment_ID .'" title="'.$comment->comment_author .' | '.get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID).'">';
echo '<li style="min-height:40px;border-bottom: 1px dotted #AAA;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;">';
echo '<div style="float:left" class="img">';
echo $url;
echo get_avatar( $comment->comment_author_email, 32);
echo '</a></div>';
echo $comment->comment_author . " said: ";
echo comment_excerpt();
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>

  • I too would like to stop the recent comments widget from displaying trackbacks and pings.

    Please change this:

    $query = “SELECT * from $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved= ‘1’
    ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT 0 ,5″;

    to this:

    $query = “SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = 1 AND comment_type = ” ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT 0, 5″;
