September 30, 2008 by Stefan

To spare some time I tryed googleing for don’t show trackbacks in recent comments but wasn’t able to find anything relevant at first glance.

So, if you have the FreePress Recent Comments Widget and the long site titles from the trackbacks/pingbacks are breaking your design, here’s your quick tip from VileWorks:

go to Dasboard Plugins Recent Comments (edit)

find this line (line 234 in recentCommentsWidget.php):

$request .= "AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_ID DESC LIMIT $limit";

change it to:

$request .= "AND comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type <> 'trackback' AND comment_type <> 'pingback' ORDER BY comment_ID DESC LIMIT $limit";
