I don’t want to stop self-pings, I just don’t want them to show up when I call the comments in my widget. If I wanted to stop, I would just delete them instead of approving. I am using this code

<?php $thinkfan_comments = get_comments( array('number'    => 5,'status'    => 'approve') );
          foreach($thinkfan_comments as $comment) :
          $comment_type = get_comment_type();
          if($comment_type == 'comment') {
              echo('<div class="post"><p class="comment">'.substr($comment->comment_content, 0, $instance['limit']).'...<span class="commentmore"><a href="'.get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID).'">Join The Conversation</a></span></p>'.get_avatar( $comment->comment_author_email ).'<p class="thinksidedate"><em>by '.$comment->comment_author.'</em></p></div>');
          } else { $trackback = true; } /* End of is_comment statement */
          endforeach; ?>

Thanks!

Okay, well I have went past the query post as a temporary fix and included an if statement inside the loop to check if a specific model is returned from strip_tags(get_the_term_list($post->ID, ‘Models’)). If so, I leave it blank, and then include the rest of the loop content after the <? else: ?>. The problem with this is, each of those posts are still included in the post counter, so my showposts=10 is reduced by however many posts it skipped. o.O Is there a workaround for this? Alternatively I am still open to fixing the original issue!

Thanks.

Edit: I tried adding my own counter in so that I could possibly go back and edit the query after the 10th post and add back the number of posts that were excluded, but by echoing the variable it only shows the original value before the loop started.

Both of the sites are already well established and receive very high amounts of traffic. We would prefer keeping them on their separate hosting accounts if possible. We just want to be able to syndicate content from one site to another, and possibly tweak the content on the second site just a bit.

There is always a way, I’m just trying to figure out this one! 🙂
