Yes thank you I will save that.
I have been using your extra bit of code for the other recent comments widgets and it is working.
There is one widget which, when I opened the code, it was all a bit alien (it has a lot of $ signs, I’m sure it means more to you than it does to me).
Any chance you would be able to identify where I need to insert your code (if that) for it to bring up the right comments? It is a widget that brings up comments made on the posts – but it doesn’t pull in comments that arose from the forum.
I understand this might be a bit trickier and if it’s not possible then that’s okay – you’ve been a great help. I just thought it might be worth a punt – I’m no good at code but it may just be something easy for the trained eye.
