Exclude Author’s sticky comments in Widget

  • Hi,

    If you scroll down two sections, you’ll see the Widget under “Live Discussions”. The strange issue I’m facing is that until a couple of weeks ago, comments by the admin/author marked as “Sticky” were not showing up in the Widget Feed.

    But now, every comment made sticky is showing up on the feed and it’s covering up most of the discussions. You can see that the first few comments there are similar as they all are bu the author and sticky.

    Note: Have not updated WP version recently. Have not made any major changes to the core or to the plugin’s source. Have not made changes to the PHP version.

    Please advice. Thank you

  • Hi,
    Do you use any plugin that modifies comment query?

    Hi,

    Yes, I use the WPDISCUZ plugin which handles the comments on my site. Have not updated WPDISCUZ recently though and both plugins were working fine together until a few weeks ago.

    Hi,
    Not quite sure what’s the problem. Would you try to deactivate WPDISCUZ then check again the recent comments widget.

    Hi,

    I tried it. I deactivated WPDISCUZ, cleared all the caches and posted a sticky comment but it still comes on the feed. Reactivated WPDISCUZ and tried it again but the same result.

    Any other solution you can think of?

    I think I need to update the plugin to add an option to exclude sticky comments. I will update the plugin soon, but I am sorry for now I don’t have the time to update the plugin, when I have free time I will update it as soon as possible.

    That’s alright. I appreciate your assistance. In the meantime, can you suggest a temporary tweak that can be used with the plugin to exclude the sticky comments? A filter that can be added to force them out?
