Top Commentators

Date May 28, 2007

I was looking at an article in LifeHack that has some very useful Wordpress plugins. I hurried on over to check them, the one that fascinated me the most was the Show Top Commentators plugin by Nate. I downloaded it, installed it, only to find out it didn’t support widgets!

I googled, and hacked the original code and enabled widget functionality. In an effort to contact the creator and inform him of this change, I googled, and came across a widget enabled version of the plugin; “Top Commentators” by Webgrrrl.

In the end keeping my version, only because I ran into a few database errors while trying to install Webgrrrl’s version, even though it has all options in the Widget Sidebar Arrangements page.

My Version: Show Top Commentators Hacked
Webgrrrl’s Version: Top Commentators
Original Version: Show Top Commentators

    Agree with you. Top commentators widget helped me a lot in getting loyal reader and higher comments numbers with increasing rss subsribers daily.

    How do i put the blog comment approval on my myspace to approve blog comments before posting them?

    How much has your subscriber based increased as a result of using this plugin? I can see the benefit from the commentators point of view, but have seen no proof of the benefit to the bloggers themselves.
