  How do I prevent my replies from showing in “most recent comments” widget. I only want the comments of my readers to be the most recent comments listed.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. I don’t believe that widget comes with that option. Basically it shows all comments.

  airodyssey is correct. All approved comments and trackbacks are displayed. There is no way to remove the ones you make from the Recent Comments widget display.

  Seems to me something that could prove helpful. Another improvement to an already great platform.

  You can Edit people’s comments and insert your reply there, but it does confuse people. And in my experience people will be happy to see your icon in the Recent Comments widget, and go check to see if you’ve replied to them. Otherwise, they’d only know you’d responded by subscribing to each thread they posted in, which is tedious.
