 * Hi:
 * Is it possible to hardcode the plugin into a theme template without using the
   widget system?

 * Hi Skribe,
 * Yes, absolutely. This widget is based on Aaron J White’s excellent [script](http://www.aaronjwhite.org/index.php/14-web-development/php/11-updated-recent-comments-widget-in-php-for-disquss-api)
   using the disqus api that is completely independent of WordPress. His most recent
   version is on [github](https://github.com/AaronJWhite/Disqus_Recent_Comments),
   and the development version of this plugin is a [fork](https://github.com/andrewbartel/Disqus_Recent_Comments)
   of that. You would have to be a developer, or be familiar with php to utilize
   these resources however.
 * The plugin itself currently does not support the ability to call a short code
   or anything like that, but we’d absolutely consider it for a 2.0 version. What
   were you thinking as far as implementation?

 * Thanks for the prompt reply, Andrew.
 * I don’t want to do anything grand. I just want to replace this:
 * `<?php src_simple_recent_comments(9) ?>`
 * which currently resides in my footer.

 * Hi Skribe,
 * Sorry for the delay, busy couple weeks here at the office. We’ll look into integrating
   that into an upcoming version, thanks much for the feedback. We’re going to be
   releasing a patch here shortly to fix a couple bugs, and then rolling out a 1.2
   version with Aaron’s updated script once we’ve had a chance to test it on WP 
   3.6, we’ll try to get this into that release.
