# Comment tailoring

 * I just upgraded to WordPress 2.5 at my [site](http://www.managingleadership.com/blog).
   My theme is veryplaintext 4.5.3.
 * I have the “Recent Comments” sidebar widget in my sidebar, but it shows links/
   trackbacks, and the like in addition to regular comments.
 * For example, if I embed a link to a previous post in the text of a current one,
   that shows up as a comment in the sidebar.
 * Is there anyplace where I can set options such that only comments made in a post’s
   comment section are recognized as comments by the system, and so that only those
   show up in the sidebar list?
 * Thanks!

 * Same question. Can I eliminate trackbacks from the recent comments widget?
