Recent comment widget that excludes pingbacks?

    Is there a version of a recent comment widget that excludes pingbacks? Or one that lets me do so without going into CSS or coding?

    I often link to old articles in new articles and like the pingbacks as they might help readers who find an older article, but at times they can clog up the recent comments widget.

    I searched and I could find old comments like this but o=most seemed to be suggesting CSS or coding which I’d prefer to avoid.

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

    Hi there,

    I visited sacredheartgnome.wordpress.com but was not able to find a recent comments widget listed. Is it possible that I am looking in the wrong place, or that this is a question related to a different site on your account?

    Thanks for the additional info!

    Sorry, Jerry. That was added automatically. I did not realize that was still in my settings as my primary here.

    My actual primary blog, the one I was looking for help on is: https://frmatthewlc.com

    Hey Fr. Matthew,

    Unfortunately, we cannot help because we don’t host your site directly on our WordPress.com managed hosting. Instead, your site is hosted with a different provider on a separate host, and we cannot take a closer look.

    The good news is that because your host uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform (which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com), help is available at the forums here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/ .

    The folks in the open-source forum are more familiar with these issues and are in the best position to help. I hope this points you in the right direction.

    I love your site, by the way!
