plugin se kterým jsem byl dosud velmi spokojen “Get Recent Comments” přestal s novou
aktualizací WP pracovat, tak jsem musel hledat jiný. Tento je také jednoduchý, intuitivní,
ale pro ne-anglické weby je nešikovné, že do textu píše anglické slovo “ON” (opravil
jsem – comments-widget-plus/includes/functions.php:71) ve zdroji, ale po aktualizaci
zase určitě bude anglicky.

Could use an option to limit how many characters should be shown in title. I have
a lot of titles that are very long and it just looks weird. So for example if you
could shorten “This is a very long title of a post that I made” to “This is a very…”
Otherwise, it looks really good and works as intended.
