The wpDiscuz – Widgets plugin is a premium add-on designed to enhance user engagement by showcasing the most active and popular parts of your comment section. It is specifically built to work with the core wpDiscuz plugin (version 7.0.0 or higher).
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The plugin provides five specific data views (Tabs) that can be displayed together in a Tabbed layout or as individual widgets:
| Widget Type | Description |
| Most Voted Comments | Displays comments with the highest number of “Likes/Votes.” |
| Active Comment Threads | Highlights the first comments of threads with the most replies. |
| Most Commented Posts | Lists the posts on your site that have generated the most discussion. |
| Recent Comments | A live feed of the latest comments across the entire site. |
| Active Comment Authors | Showcases the most frequent commenters with their avatars and comment counts. |
The widgets are designed to be highly flexible and “pixel-perfect” for your sidebar or footer areas:
Two Display Modes: Use the Tabbed Layout to save space or drag-and-drop each widget individually into different sidebar areas.
Visual Controls: You can customize background colors, icon colors, width, margins, and paddings directly from the settings.
Content Filtering: Options to set the number of items to list and the specific time-frame (e.g., top comments from the last 24 hours, week, month, or all time).
Thumbnail Support: For the “Most Voted” widget, you can choose between displaying a thumb-up icon or the author’s avatar.
Compatibility: Requires WordPress 5.0+ and wpDiscuz 7.0.0+.
Responsive Design: Fully responsive and mobile-ready.
RTL Support: Ready for Right-to-Left languages.
Performance: AJAX-powered for real-time updates and includes caching options to ensure it doesn’t slow down page load times.
Placement: Primarily designed for Sidebar and Widget-ready areas. (Note: It does not natively support shortcodes for placement inside post content without third-party workarounds).
Once installed, you can find the settings in two places:
Appearance > Widgets: To drag the “wpDiscuz Widget” to your sidebar.
wpDiscuz > Settings > Addons > Widgets: To customize the layout, colors, and specific tab titles.
