There is a bug in the plugin code where

$comment_html_format is forcibly set to have target=_blank

This makes the code always ignore the target_blank setting.

Please change it to something like this:

$comment_html_format .= '<a class="dsq-widget-user" href="%3$s" %9$s >%2$s</a>
 <span class="dsq-widget-comment">%8$s</span>
 <p class="dsq-widget-meta"><a href="%5$s">%6$s</a>&nbsp;·&nbsp;
 <a href="%5$s%7$s" ' . $target_string . ' >%4$s</a>
 </p>';

Hi there,

As the post title described, I got a warning from Wrodfence states:

The Plugin “Disqus Recent Comments Widget” appears to be abandoned (updated 2014/09/22, tested to WP 4.0.21).

Is it OK to continue to use this plugin? Suggest please.

Regards,

KC

Hi,

I would like to ask some help with an issue that I am not sure what it is and how can I solve. I have this plugin and Shareholic plugins installed. Those plugins do show up at my cell phone (using a private page), however, they do not show up at my browser, I did refresh the cache, used chrome and FF… .

I am not sure what to do and how to solve that. Any help is very welcome.

My site is resumosparaconcursosgratis.com.br

Thanks a lot,

Jose

Dear author.
Thank you for your great plugin so much. I am using this awesome plugin for years.

In my website I start to use WPML, multilingual plugin. Then activating Disqus Recent Comments Widget plugin, it displays both comments submitted in 2 languages posts. And the newest version has no option to display separately.

Do you have any ideas to display separately? If you have, please tell me some codes to make it possible.

Sorry for sudden asking.
Thank you.

A user on my site commented under a post and Disqus showed the comment in the widget with an old version of the post’s title.
Can I update the post’s title in the widget?

This plugin came in very handy as javascript offered by Disqus does not wrap the link around recent comments.

Unfortunately, it no longer works.

And plan to continue supporting this plugin?

This plugin seems to be causing an admin-ajax.php error 500

EDIT – nevermind. Turns out it was ‘redirection’ plugin causing some conflict..

Hi.
I’m not able to find the settings page where I’m supposed to enter the short name and api key.
Any help ?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

I don’t think I messed up the CSS. Right now, when a comment is shorter than the minimum characters chosen, I am getting almost like a nested effect on the comments. (see link to image)

Is it something I did? Plus, how would I add just a touch more vertical space between comments/avatars?

IMAGE

I did add the last two items to the following;

ul.disqus_rcw_comments_list li {
	list-style-type: none;
	font-size: 85%;
	line-height: 110%;
}

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

Using ver1.2 of the plugin.

If I select Classic or HTML 5 I see the post title just fine. But if I select TightSpacing it shows the URL rather than the post Title.

Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Thanks

i have tried adding my username to the filter users list, but my replies to others still show up in the widget. how can i find the correct username for my comments to filter them out?

example (top left):

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

I installed this plugin, but now I’d like to customize it more deeply.
I would like the bar to show only the last comment from each post: it happens quite frequently that a specific topic monopolise the discussion of the whole site, and I’d want to avoid it.
Any suggestions?

Hello!

I’ve read other topics here with this issue, and i was intrigued with an answer given which told the asker to “manually” set the plugin based on this link https://github.com/andrewbartel/Disqus_Recent_Comments, so it could add some cache to its code.

Can anyone guide me on this? My site reaches 1000 requests per hour very fast xD

Thanks!

Hello.
I have Disqus comment system installed and Disqus “Recent Comments” plugin. Problem is: I’m ok with Disqus comments to appear on several pages of my site, but I want to use the recent comments plugin in a precise section of it (the blog), making it display just the comments of that page.
How can I do that?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

In the disqus_params array, there is a key for category but it isn’t defined anywhere that I saw. I’ve defined it above api_key variable and set it to the category id value from the Disqus admin settings.

...
$category = get_option( 'disqus_rcw_date_category_id' );
$api_key = get_option( 'disqus_rcw_api_key' );
...

Will this change cause any problems to your code and is it something you could add to a future release?

Thank you!

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

I am not sure why.
I got the api key and I have some new comments since I installed Disqus.
Can you take a look?

Hello!

I have a bug, that looks like plugin’s wiget hovers on default wiget. My English skill is so low and I can’t clearly describe problem, so I created screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/CSGtEe8.jpg

It appears only in HTML5 markup style.
WP version 3.8.2, plugin version: 1.1.2

How can I fix it?

P.S.: Thanks for the great plugin. ??
P.P.S.: Sorry for my bad English ;(

Hello everyone,

I’m using this plugin in my sidebar to show the latest comments from my blog. However, time to time, the widget is returning ‘No Recent Comments Found’ instead of showing the comments.

This behaviour seems to be totally aleatory for me. (1 wrong, 2 ok, 2 wrong, 6 ok, 3 wrong, …)

This happens in all the pages (index, single post,)

Any idea of what can be going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to display comments from not only 1 site but the whole network on the widget?

Hi team,

Whenever I attempt to activate this plugin on a multsite network that I have, I get the following message: “This plugin requires the Disqus comment system plugin to be installed and activated on your WordPress site”.

This is despite the fact that I have Disqus installed. Is there anything I’m missing?

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disqus-recent-comments-widget/

Hey Andrew!

I know you’re planning on adding caching options to the next release – I wrote a super short addendum to the echo_comments function utilizing WP-Transients. Maybe this will help others in the interim!

Cheers!

Hello there!

I’ve been using this plugin without problems!

But now, at the place where the Recent comments from disqus widget should be, is this text: No Recent Comments Found

I’ve tried updating the API key, and uninstalling and then installing again. It worked again for a moment, but then it shows this text again> No Recent Comments Found

Any ideas?

Thx!

Please guide me a complete newb to fixing this. Thank you

I’ve been trying to pinpoint the root cause of a delay on my site. my site is fast, I’ve eliminated a bunch of things on there and it’s on a hosting solution with cdn.

Despite my homepage loading up real fast ( using a couple of different sites to benchmark) one thing it didn’t measure, but that i could experience was when i click on any link on the page. it would delay about 6 seconds ( my mouse cursor would turn form an arrow to a spinning circle while it waited) and then load the page( and load it fast). I’ve used a bunch of plugins to make the site faster and i couldn’t figure out what was causing it and i check out another site that used the same theme and it didn’t have this problem. A systematic shutdown of all my plugins and reactivation and testing leads me to conclude that this plugin is causing the delay.

A pity. it was quite handy!

Hello,
Thanks for your plugin, a must have when you use Disqus !
But I have one problem : the widget don’t go in the layout in classic markup. (In HTML5 no style, don’t manage to apply style… don’t know why, but it’s inside the widget box!).
You can check it here : https://www.vegactu.com/

I’m running a wordpress multisite installation. Sadly this plugin won’t network activate. It gives me an error saying the disqus commenting system needs to be installed, which of course it is. Hope there’s a fix. Also, is there any hope of adding short code for those of us who wish to embed directly into a page as opposed to a sidebar? Thanks. (edit: just saw in another thread about possible short code in future versions.)
