Support for this plugin has been moved to the BWP Community!

This plugin displays recent comment lists at assigned locations. It does not add any significant load to your website. The comment list is updated on the fly when a visitor adds a comment or when you moderate one. No additional queries are needed for end-users.

A recent comment list, in my opinion, can help stimulate discussion and exploration of your blog tremendously. Now for the past few months I have been using a plugin called Get Recent Comments; though this plugin is configurable and indeed popular, the code is somehow messy and no support for custom post type is found. The worst thing is Get Recent Comment doesn't seem to be updated anymore, so I decide to write another recent comment plugin which is more lightweight and makes use of some nice features provided by WordPress 3.0.

BWP Recent Comments 1.2.0 RC1 - Your recent comment lists just got better!

• You can now group comments by post (inspired by the classic Get Recent Comments plugin).
• You can now have AJAX navigation for any recent comment list you want! Comment list on a separate page also supports AJAX.
• Templates are available for both grouped comment lists and the AJAX navigation.
• Added a shortcode ([bwp-rc]) to show recent comment lists on a separate page.
• More template tags for you to use:
  • %author_archive%: link to a comment author's archive page if found.
  • %comment_count%: the number of comments for the current post.
  • %comment_number%: a comment's number in the list, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc. Useful when showing comments on a separate page.
• Added a new CSS file that will be used when you disable avatar.
• Now uses date_i18n function for comment date so that it can be localized by default.
• A lot of bug fixes and other improvements which make the plugin much faster and more stable!

Note: Due to the complexity of this new release, feedbacks are greatly appreciated! If you have any problem, even the smallest, please contact me. Thanks!
