    Nice work, overall – simple and lightweight with good out-of-the-boxitude.

    Not a big deal, and, since the plug-in hasn’t been updated in a while, I’m not expecting quick service, but just thought I’d mention some odd unexpected functionality: When the widget appears on the home page, it works as expected, showing comments identified by CommentID. On WordPress “Pages” (i.e., created as Pages, not using the Loop on home page, archive pages, and so on) with comments enabled, it picks up the most recent comment (or even a trackback/pingback!) and adds it to the output.

    Initial investigation of seemingly most likely conflict didn’t get anywhere. I may look into this minor problem further, especially if I decide to meld this plug-in with some other comment-featuring plug-in (ones with Dashboard designation – as you have discussed on other threads).

    I cannot replicate that issue on my dev environment which is running the latest version (4.0) with the 2014 theme and a custom one I had built. And theme pages do use the loop. What version and theme are you using?

    Sorry, I fudged the distinction I meant to indicate. Shouldn’t have said “the Loop.” Meant that it doesn’t happen on home and archive pages that loop through excerpts, so show multiple posts. It happens on Pages with their own static content and comments. I didn’t check single.php because I don’t show most widgets on single.php, but seems like an obvious step.

    Am using 4.0 and a heavily customized as well as plug-in-ized theme that started with Responsive a long time ago. When I get a chance, I’ll see if I can pinpoint the problem. Probably a plug-in conflict if you’re not running across it with your set-ups.
