wordpress recentcomments help needed

[saqib_khan]

Hi,

This plugin of wordpress is really making me angry. If anyone here is using wordpress recent coments plugin please help me.

Here's my problem. I activated recent comments on my sidebar. It is appearing also but not the way I want. Currently it shows name of commenter & the post in which he commented.

Now I want name of commenter & what he commented. I mean what he said on that comment. I think I have to use this %comment_excerpt , somewhere but where? On settings, there is "Recent comments".Currently this is showing there: [*]%comment_author: %comment_excerpt

Advice me here. I am missing just a small step...

Another small question, anyone know how to change favicon in wordpress? I tried some methods on searching google, but m not successful with them.

In your wordpress folder go to..

Wordpress\wp-content\themes\theme-name\images

Find a file favicon.ico and replace it with your favicon

Wordpress\wp-content\themes\theme-name\images

Find a file favicon.ico and replace it with your favicon

I did this, not no success now also. Should I have to add any code also?

I think you need to change your header.php and add/edit the line (usually found around the code for page title) to point to your favicon. Will let you know in the evening when I reach home.

Meanwhile PM me the header.php content of your theme.

FYI, I tried this also, WordPress › Support How can I add an favicon in WordPress? . Hey, I tried this thing, and now the favicon changed to Wordpress's favicon..lol..now I deleted this code .

Ok, and pm'ed the code to u.

Find this:

<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

And add this line after that on a new line..

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') ?>/images/favicon.ico" />

Of course you should have put a favicon.ico in your theme's images directory as I told you earlier.
