To prevent comments from protected pages from appearing in “Recent comments” widget, open up “/wp-includes/widgets.php” and replace the function “wp_widget_recent_comments” with this code:
function wp_widget_recent_comments($args) {
global $wpdb, $comments, $comment, $current_user;
extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
$options = get_option(’widget_recent_comments’);
$title = empty($options['title']) ? __(’Recent Comments’) : apply_filters(’widget_title’, $options['title']);
if ( !$number = (int) $options['number'] )
$number = 5;
else if ( $number < 1 )
$number = 1;
else if ( $number > 15 )
$number = 15;
if ( !$comments = wp_cache_get( ‘recent_comments’, ‘widget’ ) ) {
$comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘1′ AND comment_post_ID NOT IN (SELECT post_id FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "named_users WHERE (user_id <> " . $current_user->ID . " OR group_id NOT IN (SELECT group_id FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "named_users_groups_relations WHERE user_id = " . $current_user->ID . "))) ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT $number");
wp_cache_add( ‘recent_comments’, $comments, ‘widget’ );
}
?>
<?php echo $before_widget; ?>
<?php echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>
<ul id="recentcomments"><?php
