Simple and versatile plugin!

By inge12 on September 26, 2024

This plugin currently works perfectly with WordPress 6.6.2

I just wanted to remove the "website" field but found that it was much more useful than that: I could add a note at the top of the form to see our Comment Guidelines and a note at the bottom to ask commenters to check that they had input their name and a working email address.

I sure hope the developer keeps this up-to-date!

P.S. I can't find a clear path to donate!

Works with Pods, Custom Post Types!

By Beckybob on March 17, 2021

I've spent WEEKS looking for a plug-in that would edit the website field OUT of the comment section for Pods Custom Post Types, this is the ONLY plugin that would do it by using the built-in CSS option! THANK YOU DEVELOPERS!!

By Graham (Sandgroper) on November 10, 2020

I was looking for a way to get the comment form displayed in Elementor when using the canvas template. The shortcode worked perfectly and solved my problem. Thanks for a great workaround.
