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.
any permanent solutions to this?
I dont use it but i saw this ticket so it might work in WP 2.5.1
i have wp 2.5.1 …is it just me or the %BEG_OF_TITLE%comments%END_OF_TITLE% has not disappeared yet??? the solution posted here worked but, according to this ticket: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6694 the bug should be solved…it doesn’t look like this to me…i hope somebody will solve the issue!
i reopened the ticket http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6694
pls if you have this issue with wo 2.5.1 post your issue on the ticket itself
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.
any news on this? I am having the exact same issue – its sporadic.
Does anybody know of a similar plugin that works without such an annoying bug for WP 2.6.2?
I’m having the same issue too any fixes yet?
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).
