Hi all,
Today I learned how to Remove Author from Recent Comments Widget and would like to share it:
If your WordPress blog displays a Recent Comments widget on the sidebar or on any widget area, you may want to hide your own ( Post Author ) comments or replies from the list. There’s no need to edit core WordPress files. You can use the widget_comments_args filter.
- Go to your Dashboard
->Appearance <code>-> Editor - Select your functions.php ( it is recommended that you do this on a child theme )

- function ra_recent_comments_less_author( $array ) { global $post; $array['user_id'] = !$post->post_author; return $array; } add_action( 'widget_comments_args', 'ra_recent_comments_less_author' );
- Your screen should look like this:

I followed the steps and it worked!
I don't see may name under the Recent comments widget anymore. Yay!
