   Hi there,

   just installed the plugin. Looks great so far. The only problme I have is that I have changed the "Title" within the widget so it says the german version of "Last Comments".

   No I get "%BEG_OF_TITLE%Letzte Kommentare%END_OF_TITLE%" on the page. Any Idea how I can fix it, so the %...% doesn't show up?

   Thx

   -Tim

   Go to Settings -> Recent Comments and hit Update Recent Comment Options ».

   I've had the same problem and this solves it.

   Great. Thank you very much. It works.

   But you have to hit 'update recent comment options' every time you've changed something in the design. Hopefully this will get better if the plugin gets upgraded.

   I've just upgraded to 2.6, and this issue still pervades. Updating the options page is a temporary fix, but it has to be done every time you do something involving the design of the entire blog, it seems.

   Needs a more permanent solution.

    Same problem for me:

    %BEG_OF_TITLE%Latest Comments%END_OF_TITLE%

    Runnin WP 2.6.2.

    Corrects itself after clicking "Update Recent Comments Options", but that's not acceptable.

    Love this plugin, so i'm hoping it can be fixed.

    Does anybody know of a similar plugin that works without such an annoying bug for WP 2.6.2?

    Try this: http://blog.jodies.de/2004/11/recent-comments/3/#comment-489692

    Disable Lighter Menus plugin if you have it installed, otherwise you won't be able to access those settings.

    In the get-recent-comment.php code, the html for the sidebar comments widgets is retuned on line 955. it looks like this:

    return $before_widget . $before_title . kjgrc_get_option("grc","sidebar_title") . $after_title .
    '<div id="get_recent_comments_wrap">

    ' .

    There is something wrong with the $before_title and $after_title variables. I changed the code to this:

    return $before_widget . '<h3>' . kjgrc_get_option("grc","sidebar_title") . '</h3>' .'<div id="get_recent_comments_wrap">

    ' .

    I eliminated the problem variables and put in <h3> html because my theme uses them for sidebar titles. Perhaps yours uses another heading.

    Hope that helps.

    To be clear the author recommends Disabling the cached output. It fixed it for me

    Settings > Recent Comments > Misc >

    remove the tick on "cache the output (recommended).

    Oh I forgot to mention that it worked in 2.6.3 for me.
