 * I installed the default “Recent Comments” widget in my primary sidebar.
 * I selected “Hide if Author is Kim” (meaning me). I don’t want my replies to show.
 * However, they are shown, and I don’t know how to fix it.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks!
 * Kim

 * Are you talking about the default “Recent Comments” widget or any plugin?

 * The default one.
 * I’m happy to deinstall it and install a plug-in if the latter works better.

 * Then might be its being done via your theme.
