Hate Pingbacks and Trackbacks? Me too. Pingback Killer disables of of WordPress’ built in pingback functionality.
This is a very simple plugin that… 
1. Removes the <code>X-Pingback</code> header WordPress sends 
2. Causes any <code>bloginfo('ping_backurl')</code> call to return an empty string 
3. Hijacks the two options relating to pingbacks 
4. Removes the /trackback/ rewrite rules
There are no options pages, it just works.

The Comments Loop widget was written to allows users with no coding knowledge to customize their comments loop and comments form, all without editing their comments.php file.
Comments Loop is a complete widigitzation of the comments.php file, with over 30 settings to customize from reply links to what gets displayed when comments are closed. When you activate Comments Loop, you’ll have two new available widgets, Comments Loop and Comments Form. Simply drag and drop them in a sidebar that’s active in a singular template (e.g. single.php, page.php, or attachment.php).
