Hi,

Sorry for the delay. From our testing, it seems to be working fine in WordPress 4.9.1. Have you tried disabling other plugins on your site to check in case it’s another plugin causing a conflict?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Glad you sorted the 2nd problem.

The plugin should automatically search the title column when you type in the search box. Do you have a link to your page I can check?

Thanks,
Andy

Great, well done! I’ll make a note of that in case anyone else needs the same.

Andy

Makes sense. Let me know how you get on.

Andy

Hi Norman,

Hmm, I can’t think of a way to do that as the column is sorted alphabetically. The only way would be to put zeros in the song numbers. E.g:

Tehiliim 018
Tehiliim 022
Tehiliim 137

etc…

Sorry I can’t be more help

Hi Stefanie,

The visibility option is added via the Jetpack plugin (or part of WordPress itself if you’re using WordPress.com). The visibility option controls where the widget is shown or hidden on your site, depending on what page you are viewing. For example, ‘show if viewing the Contact page’, or ‘hide if the current category is “Travel”‘. Unfortunately these options are not related to (and therefore don’t control) the comments displayed by our Better Recent Comments plugin.

The “show/hide if author is” option would show or hide the widget on what’s called the “author archive” page, which is a page showing all posts written by a particular author. It won’t have any effect on the comments shown in our widget unfortunately.

At the moment, there isn’t a way to achieve what you want with our plugin, but I’ll make a note of it and let you know if this feature becomes available.

Thanks for using the plugin!

Andy

Hi,

At the moment it’s not possible to change the filters to checkboxes, or a multi-select list. The select works on a single item selection only, and you wouldn’t be able to change to multiple without majorly hacking the plugin. We’ll definitely put this on our feature request list though.

If you have any more questions or want to reply, please send through our Pro support page.

Many thanks,
Andy

Hi,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I don’t think this is possible at the moment but we could look at that in the next version. Can I ask how you’re hiding the author comments – is this via a plugin?

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Peter,

Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, we’ll put that on the list for a future update.

If you’re interested, you can do this now in our Pro version Posts Table Pro which includes a separate ‘excerpt’ column you can use (as well as lots of extra features and other columns such as custom fields).

Andy

Hi Maria,

Sorry, ignore my previous reply – I thought you were asking about our table plugin! Oops.

You can use the ‘better_recent_comments_comment_args’ to filter to comment args and change the post_type to what you need. We’ll definitely consider adding that as a shortcode option in a future update.

I’ll also look at adding an option for preserving the line breaks in the comment content, although no one else has mentioned this, so I might add it as a filter. In the meantime you would need to modify the code on line 123 in class-better-recent-comments-utl.php to do this

Andy

Hi Maria,

Thanks for getting in touch. You can’t do either of those things in the plugin, but we do have a Pro version which should do both – you can choose exactly what post types you want, and you can display the whole post content, which will mean the line breaks will be included.

Thanks,
Andy

Great, glad it worked.

Hi,

We limit the number of posts to 1000 to try keep the database load down. It can be quite a hit on the database to load more than that. If you want, you can increase the posts limit by using the following filter (add to your functions.php file):

add_filter( 'posts_data_table_post_limit', function( $limit ) {
   return 4000;
} );

Thanks for the suggestion! Will put it on the feature list…

Andy

Thanks, good suggestion ??

We will definitely look at that for the next release.

Best,
Andy
