Wordpress Help

Hi Warriors,

On my blog, I activated a "Recent Comments" widget but the
comments that turn up always state as (0 Comments). How
do I fix that so that it shows up correctly?

Also, does anyone know how to seperate the pingbacks from
the comments?

      Yep, already did. Even my own comments are at 0 comments.

    I can correct it if I can see the code. PM me if you want me to do it.

      Hi Peter,

      That's a pingback, it's not a comment. But it shows up as comment
      nevertheless. Thing I'm looking at is at the main page when you
      see everything, at the side bars, there's a "Recent Comments"
      widget.

      I'd like those (0 Comments) to reflect actual number of comments.

      @agent_whitehat
      Thanks for the offer! But do you have any other idea or suggestion
      as to how I may fix it? I don't mean to be rude but I don't really
      know you - so it's quite risky for me to just give you access into it.

      Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

        For that one I asked you, it showed '1 comment', that's why I asked..

          Oh, sorry, my fault. I didn't point it out clear enough I guess.
          I mean the one on the main page. The ones in the post itself
          work out just fine.

        No problem. Just send me the sidebar.php file alone. I am a wordpress theme coder, I can easily identify the problem. I am not going to charge anything for this. This is just an help to a fellow warrior. If still you don't trust me then I have to leave this to others.:rolleyes:

    Asher - its Kymmy!

    you are here for help and you should take it when offered by such top notch people!

    the WF is chock-a-block full of experts in their feilds

    when I need help - I come in, state my issue and then the help just comes!

    I feel very grateful to be a part of such a great community.
    If you are so worried about security just change your passwords as soon as youre done.

    Warriors have helped me out so much and I have not had the slightest issue or problem with any security issue - I have just been totally grateful!

    If you are so worried - just pay someone to do it - this still doesnt get around your security issues though now does it?

    I say..........when opportunity knocks - open the bloody door!!!!

    Hi agent_whitehat, thanks so much! I've sent you a PM with the sidebar.php codes. Appreciate what you're trying to do and I'm grateful for the help.

    @Kym
    Thanks for your advice. I do understand and agree with you that when I ask for help, I should take it when someone offers.

    But I'd like to point out something...

    I feel very grateful to be a part of such a great community.

    In the Warrior Forums, not everyone is really here to help. There are some people who say one thing but do another. I'm not saying that agent_whitehat is bad but he doesn't have a face for his avatar, his profile doesn't have a name, he has a few other things which didn't establish credibility in my point of view. So, therefore, I couldn't trust him straight away & give him my login information even if I've changed it. I'm not a tech-wiz but I have heard of keyloggers, hackers, etc. There are too many "I got hacked" stories that I've read in the Warrior Forums.

    If you are so worried - just pay someone to do it - this still doesnt get around your security issues though now does it?
    All I'm doing here is protecting my interests. I've spent quite a lot of time on my blog and it's contents - shouldn't I have the right to defend it from possible predators? I'm sure you've seen it - hackers who wormed their way into blogs and killed the whole site. I'm taking whatever measures I know and can to prevent such things from happening to me.

    I say..........when opportunity knocks - open the bloody door!!!!
    When opportunity knocks, open the "bloody" door?

    If I had opened up doors to all the opportunities that came my way (as I'm sure all IMers will experience), I also open up myself to untold danger. Consider the opportunities, then open the "bloody" door.

      Wow. I never thought that using my favorite "Bee" avatar will affect my credibility. Thanks for pointing them out. Now my profile is updated

      By the way, I checked the code you sent. It uses a widget in that place to call the recent comments and the comment count. I cannot judge the problem in the widget by seeing this code alone. I think you might be using a separate plugin for recent comments instead of the built-in one.

      My suggestion is to use this plugin:
      coffee2code.com Customizable Post Listings

      This allows complete customization of how your recent comment should look without getting deep into programming. If you have any more questions, let me know.
