Top Commentators
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

Cool….Will look out for your other hacks…wait, do you have any other hacks?
Hacks are cool, coz they add functionality that the author is too lazy to add ;)

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.
