I was searching for a suitable plugin but couldn’t find any, so I developed it myself.
The WordPress Plugin “Most Comments” allows you to show the posts with the most comments on a page or in the sidebar as a widget. It’s fully customizable to your needs.
Features
- Limit the amount of posts to be shown
- Show comments from a specific post category
- Exlude posts without comments
- Select a time range (last XX days) of posts to be taken into account
- Customize the design template via the settings page
- Place a widget in your sidebar
Screenshots
- Customize the appearance
- Widget Settings
- How it looks like on my site
- Activate the plugin

Just curious, is there a way to have it read ‘comment’ rather than ‘comments’ if there is just one instance. Right now, I have a few posts and it shows ’1 comments’, I’d like it to read ’1 comment’.

Awesome plugin! Thanks for publishing it! One problem I’m having however is the %POST_EXCERPT% – the excerpt doesn’t show up. All you see is “%POST_EXCERPT%” . Any idea on how to solve it?

When you add the image, you are given the option of adding its positioning on the page, which is a very nice addition. ,

Is there any way to exclude a category or tag from the posts that this plugin pulls from?

Thank you for a great plug-in.
Very easy to use, if one just read your instructions ;)

Click my name above and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it at work.
