A simple shortcode to display recent comments. You can use it in text widgets or with every shortcode enabled page builder.
The shortcode:
[recent-comments]
[recent-comments number=”10″ author=”” title=””]
There are seven parameters for this shortcode:
- author__not_in – Author ID to exclude from the list. Default: NULL to list all comments from all authors.
- number – Number of comments to return. Leave blank to return all comments. Default: 5
- order – How to sort comments: ‘ASC’ (Ascending – lowest to highest) or ‘DESC’ (Descending – highest to lowest). Default: DESC
- author – Do you want to hide the author? Just give an empty parameter: author=””
- title – Do you want to hide the title? Just give an empty parameter: title=””
- excerpt – Do you want to hide the excerpt? Just give an empty parameter: excerpt=””
- morelink – You can specify the text of the more link. Do you want to hide the more link? Just give an empty parameter: morelink=””
There is no mandatory parameter, you can use the shortcode as is.
IMPORTANT! This (or any other) shortcode is working only in a widget, if you or the theme has enabled the use of shortcodes in widgets. I’m not giving any description how you can do it, because there are a lot of posts out there. You can do a search for this: wordpress enable shortcodes in widgets
