Show Top Commentators Widget

Nate Sanden’s Show Top Commentators plugin is a great way to increase comments on blog. However the installation is quite complicated because it requires you to manually edit your theme. I simlified this process by adding support for WordPress’s widget sidebar. Also I fixed several theming bugs that made it harder to integrate with any theme.

Features (As Compared To the Original Plugin)

  • Works with all themes
  • Works as a real WordPress widget
  • Can be configured through the admin panel

Installation Instructions

  1. Download the Show Top Commentators plugin
  2. Place it into the wp-content/plugins directory of your blog
  3. Activate it through the Plugins menu of the admin panel
  4. Add the plugin to your template
    • If you are using the widget functionality, just go to Presentations->Widgets in the admin menu, and add it as any widget.
    • If you are editing your WordPress theme manually, just place the following code where you want the Show Top Commentators to appear

      <?php show_top_commentators(); ?>
