Update Block: Latest Comments #13931
Comments
I love this idea. On one hand, it sits on the line whether it is an actual plugin/extending. On other, I love the idea that blocks become more dynamic. |
Quickly discussed during today's accessibility bug-scrub and, besides the technical challenge (as far as I can tell this block is rendered server side, not sure it can be made dynamic) we have concerns about the overall proposal. In terms of interaction, we don’t think the post content is the place to manage comments. Also, with regards to approving comments, worth considering the widget-block by default displays only approved comments.

Moved over from #1792.
Like Calendar and Archive, I looked at what a more dynamic Recent Comments block could include.
I focused on exploring the “what if’s” — what if you could approve pending comments in the Recent Comments block? What if you could reply to them?

Does this make sense? Should we try it out?
