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.

have been searching for this plugin for quite some time. Thank you so mcuch!
Cool, I’ll have to check this out. I’m actually looking for a way to append the number of comments for a post to that post’s title in the RSS feed – would this be able to be modified to do that?
Pete: No, that probably won’t work. This plugin only outputs an image, and I don’t think you can insert images into a post’s title.
Have you ever used this with LJXP, the plugin that re-posts your articles to LiveJournal? When I try, it puts the wrong URL on the article in LJ. It works on other RSS feeds on my blog, but on LJ it puts in the img url as src=”http://blog.xcski.com/wp-content/plugins/tantan/g et-comments.php?p=” so it shows as “-1 comments”.
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?
U explains very useful plugin. It’s very useful tools for increasing traffic and comments via rss feed… I will use comment count plugin in wordpress…….
great plugin!
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.
