A quick heads-up on the latest TCW update, in line with the release of WordPress 3.1. This update also addressed the comment hijacking issue that, while wonderfully suggested and fixed by Stuff by Sarah quite a while ago (and implemented by yours truly on v.0.999a) , were not fully effective in blocking the comment spammers. Basically it’s a small rewrite of the database query, that’s all. This means that v.1.4.2 won’t affect your >=TCW 1.4 settings in any way.
Nevertheless, Top Commentators Widget v.2.0 update, to coincide with the next WordPress update (whether major or minor), will again affect your setup.
- The form control, i.e. what you see in the Widgets section, will be re-arranged to simplify it.
- Further modification on the look of your Number of Comments will be enabled.
- Styling of the list for CSS purposes will be improved.
- Addition of DIV on top of Numbered and Ordered.
I like WP 3.1. Do you?

Yes I like thenew WP 3.1, and updated your widget. No problem so far.
This week post,
When I plug in update the data did not appear in the call that I have posted on my blog with the following command: (and I do not use the plug-in widgets).
Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks
Oh i use your plugin on my blog and i live it very much
Sourish
I love the plugin, works awesome!
yah , kinda motivates the commentator when they see themselves on the top of the list
A very good plugin, thank you.
Thanks for an update…
A very good widget to put on the blog !!
Ok. I will try update in my site and blog
Hi.
The twitter link goes the same for all users, so I have all the commenters that have a link, with the same URL.
Any word in a fix for this ?
The plugin takes the last commenter link and applies that to all the users that have a link.
Can you share a fix ?
Peter, do you have a URL with this problem that I can check out? Could you also give me your installation details, like WP version, PHP version, MySQL version, TC widget version and anything else you think may help?
Sure, please mail me and I will help you with all the information.
Nice Plugin!
Is there any way to Show Top Commentators from a particular category !
or to exclude / include categories option in the plugin
I’ve been trying to figure this out but couldn’t !
Can you guide/help me
this plugin helped me a lot to motivate my readers in a Q&A Forum
Hi Lorna,
I think there’s a bug in the “(Hijack-proof?) Group commentors based on”-setting. I have it set to group based on e-mail. Still, a guy appears in the top commentators list with 5 comments and a link to his site, even though that e-mail address (and website) only has 1 comment on my blog in the time frame (30 days).
There’s another guy with the same name who regular comments also, so it seems it’s mixing them up and not grouping by e-mail.
If I set it to group by “user name” I’m getting a different result, but seems not to be the correct result either.
I forgot to tick “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” … done 🙂
Any word on a fix to the same URL for all users ?
This been great. have tried it before. Hope to read post more.
just upgraded , looks good and compatible with other plugins
I have the same problem of Peter, in particular with the users subscribed with Facebook Widget. I downloaded 1.4.1 beta and the problem is solved. I hope this can help you.
Greetings
I’m having trouble removing myself from the list. I’ve tried adding my username (admin), my first name, my last name, my first and last name (which is the nickname displayed), and it won’t get rid of me from the list.
The URL listed for this post is the site in question.
Previously I was able to make myself “go away”, by using admin, first name and first & last name, all at the same time in the exclude box. This suddenly stopped working after I posted another comment.
Anybody know of alternatives to this plugin?
thanks for the update.it works quiet good.
I knew there where problems on the blogs I post at. Glad this has been fixed, love this widget.
i have not upgraded my plugin for many days
Just re-activated the plugin after laying low for a few weeks. I like the way the commentator plugin gives me a lot of options. Thanks.
Hi! I want to modify this plugin to count the posts + comments for each user and to display the Top 10 users. It is possible? For example i want to count the point with following formula: for 1 postig – users are reaching 3 points and for 1 comment 1 point => A user who have 2 posts and 3 comments will have 9 point. Is possible to make someting like this? Thank you very much
This widget only accommodates counting of comments. I’m sure that combining it and post count can be done, but extending this widget to do so will need substantial work.
IT’s weird but I received less spam this year. It absolutely amazes me. I am wondering if the TC widget actually got some better spam protection
