README

Extends the Latest Comments block with additional features.

Description

Requirements

• WordPress 6.7 or later
• PHP 7.4 or later

Features

• Filter comments by post type using a new control in the block inspector sidebar
• Automatically detects all public post types registered on your site
• Adapts the UI based on the number of available post types (dropdown for many, toggle buttons for few)
• Reset the filter to show comments from all post types

Usage

1. Add or select a Latest Comments block in the editor.
2. Open the block settings sidebar.
3. Under Filters, choose a post type to display comments from.
4. To show comments from all post types again, choose "All" or click Reset All.
