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
