Get Comments Count Plugin for WordPress

14 Comments

This plugin displays the number of comments a post has in your RSS feeds. How is this useful you ask? Well, not too muchl. But it’s convenient because it tells your subscribers how many comments your posts have in news readers such as Bloglines or FeedDemon. This plugin works well with my Xanga Crosspost plugin or other syndication plugins.

Example Applications:

  • RSS news readers: Comment count shows up as images for my TanTanNoodles feed: Bloglines.
  • In a general RSS aggregator / remixer: Suprglu.com.
  • And you can also show comment counts in syndicated blog posts: Xanga.

Features:

  • Shows the number of comments a post has as an inline image at the end of your post
  • Will only appear in syndicated entries, does not show up on your main WordPress site

Installation:

  1. Unpack / unzip the archive
  2. Copy the entire �tantan� directory to your Wordpress plugins directory. Your wordpress plugins directory should be something like [WORDPRESS DIR]/wp-content/plugins.
  3. Go into your Wordpress admin, click on the �Plugins� tab, and then activate �Get Comments Count�.
  4. You’re done! Comment counts for each of your blog entries will now appear.

    I have modified this plugin to output a text link rather than an image if Pete is still looking for that. Inserting that into the title is more that I care to attempt.

    Does the image generation also work on a wordpress blog hosted on a windows/IIS server?

    I had this working with my WP 2.2 but today it just stopped. I would try to post and get a blank page with the words, �hmm, error?� I was able to post just to my WP blog when I deactivated the plugin, or checked the tick box that says �Do not post to Xanga�.

    I really hope this can work again, I love it.
