Hi france 1972,
Thanks! What problem do you have with the plugin and wordpress 2.8? I use wordpress 2.8 with get recent comments 2.0.6 on my site. No issues until now...

Krischan,
First off, thank you for making such a worthwhile plugin. Like france1972 said, its being used my many, many people.
Having this issue with Wordpess 2.8 and get recent comments 2.0.6...
The comments do not automatically update themselves on the sidebar. The only way to get the comments to update is to go into plugin options and select "update recent comment options." You don't actually have to change anything, but it does re-fresh the most recent comments displayed. It's a pain to have to do it every day...
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Is this fixed yet? I'm not sure if I should look for a different plugin; this one seems good but that's a pretty serious bug.

I've got the same problem - but I had it before 2.8, and it hasn't changed since the update, I'm afraid. Recent comments aren't updated on the sidebar anymore; I have to manually update each and every comment through the 'edit' option. After I've done that, they do show up. Does anyone know what's causing this?

Same problem here on WP 2.8.1 : the sidebar isn't refreshed when new comments are made.

Same issue here. I had it working for a few days but now it is again no longer updating unless I go into the plugin settings page.

Do you have any insight into why yours is working? If not then its a bit of a pointless and unhelpful post.

I have just recently upgraded to 2.8 from the legacy 2.0.11. I thought that the recent comments plugin was working in the first couple of days after the upgrade. But as of today, the sidebar doesn't update unless I go into the plugin settings and hit "update recent comments options".
Does anyone know of a better way to deal with this than by going into the settings each day?

Excuse me for appearing to reply to myself. I asked about this problem on Krischan's "Get Recent Comments" pages and he suggested the following:
disable the cache option of the plugin
That did the trick and the recent comments are now automatically updating on the sidebar of my 2.8.4 wordpress.
(Go to settings » recent comments » miscellaneous and uncheck "cache the output" that appears near the bottom of the page. )
