  1. I cannot find the documentation page. Your link (https://docs.itthinx.com/document/decent-comments/) does not work.

  2. Hi,

    I’m using Decent Comments plugin for my site.
    Great plugin, congratulations.

    I have two questions:
    1. Can I descrease font size for comments in your plugin without any codes?
    2. How can I change font and background colors?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    1. Hi,
      You can use css for customize the appearance, by example:
      .widget_decent_comments_widget {
      font-size: 110%;
      }

      Kind Regards,

      1. Hi,

        Thank you for your help, my problem is resolved.
        I have one more question;
        I use the “Decent comments” plugin in the section starting with “Last comments” at the bottom right of my blog (arthenos.com).
        As you can see, there is a lot of space between the lines. I want to narrow the lines.
        Do you have any help with how I can do this?

        The code I use in the style.css file is as follows;

        .widget_decent_comments_widget {
        font-size: 85%;
        color: #777;
        font-family: ‘Open Sans’, arial, sans-serif;
        margin-top: 0px;
        line-height: 0;
        }

        Regards.

        1. Hi,
          The line-height of your theme widget is greater than in the rest of the body.
          Maybe this code can help you:
          .widget li .comment {
          line-height: 24px;
          }

          Kind Regards,
          Antonio B.

    I found solution to my problem. I realised I actually didn’t need the plugin for what I wanted to achieve in the category page, so I used get_comments instead.

    Thanks for your plugin anyway, I ended up using the widget which is awesome 🙂

    Sorry, I obviously don’t know how to embed pastebin. Here is the link: http://pastebin.com/iqwk3tmQ

    1. Hi,
      maybe this code can help you:

      echo Decent_Comments_Renderer::get_comments( $options = array(
      'post_id' => get_the_ID(),
      'number' => '2',
      'show_avatar' => 'false',
      ) );

      cheers

    Hi,
    I’m trying to use your plugin in a category loop. I want to display the latest 3 comments on the category page, under each post title. I managed to display the comments, but I don’t know how to display matching comments. I get the same globally latest 3 comments under each post title in the category page.
    Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    1. Hi, can you provide the code you’re using please (pastebin)?

  7. Hi,
    I’m using your plugin, it works nice, but with one bug. If someone writes a comment with expanded latin letters like à, ø, ï and the like, this letters turn to �. And I can’t manage to fix this bug, I think it has something to do with encoding, but it’s utf-8 everywhere, so I really don’t know where’s the problem.

    1. Sounds like an issue with the charset used in the DB. What charset is configured in wp-config.php (DB_CHARSET)?

    hello i just installed the plugin but when i go to options nothing is there!! just says delete options when deactivated and has save button and nothing else! please help!

    1. That’s ok, there are no more options in that area. What you are looking for is the widget options I assume. Place a Decent Comments widget in a sidebar under Appearance > Widgets and you will see options there. Also take a look at the documentation.
