wpDiscuz - Widgets

A comment section often holds the best content on a site, yet visitors rarely see it outside the post itself. wpDiscuz – Widgets pulls that activity into sidebars and other widget areas. Readers can find voted comments, busy threads and frequent commenters without scrolling through every post.

Each widget can run on its own, or you can group them in a tabbed layout for a compact look. You choose the title, the number of items and the timeframe, then adjust colors, width, margins and padding to match your design. The layout adapts to different screen sizes and supports right to left languages.

Features

• Six comment-based widgets: Show top voted comments, busy threads, posts with many comments, newest comments, highly rated posts and the authors who comment most, each as its own widget.
• Single or tabbed display: Place each widget by itself, or combine five of them in one tabbed box that keeps the sidebar tidy and organized.
• Custom titles and item counts: Set the heading of each widget and decide how many entries it lists, so the content fits your audience and layout.
• Timeframe filters: Limit the statistics to a chosen period, which lets a widget reflect recent activity instead of everything since the site began.
• Styling controls: Adjust background color, icon color, width, margins and padding so the widgets match your site's design and branding.
• Responsive and RTL ready: Widgets resize across screens and devices, and they work with right to left languages.
• Live updates with AJAX: Within wpDiscuz, the widgets refresh through AJAX, so fresh discussions appear without a full page reload.
• Works with wpDiscuz: Built as an addon for the wpDiscuz plugin, it is configured from the WordPress Dashboard alongside your existing comment setup.
