wpDiscuz (Activated)

The default WordPress comment area is basic. Pages reload after a submission, threads are hard to follow and visitors have few ways to react. wpDiscuz addresses this with an AJAX comment form that posts and updates comments without a page reload, plus nested replies with adjustable depth, so longer conversations stay readable.

It works as an alternative to third-party comment platforms such as Disqus and Jetpack Comments, and it keeps comments in your own database. It works with WordPress comment management and moderation. Three layouts let you match the look of your site, and the responsive design adapts to desktops, tablets and phones. Blogs, business sites and community platforms can all use it.

Features

• Real-time AJAX commenting: Comments are submitted and updated without reloading the page, and live notifications tell visitors when new comments or replies appear in a discussion.
• Three comment layouts: Pick from three modern layouts so the comment section fits the style of your site and reads clearly on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
• Inline commenting: Visitors can comment directly on post content and reply to specific passages of text, which keeps feedback tied to the part of the article it concerns.
• Social login and anonymous comments: Commenters can sign in through networks like Facebook and Twitter. Optional settings also let visitors comment without giving a name and email.
• Voting and post ratings: Readers can upvote or downvote comments to bring useful contributions forward, and they can rate posts with stars to leave feedback beyond a written comment.
• Nested threads and lazy loading: Replies are nested with adjustable depth. A Load More button and lazy loading bring in comments on demand or as visitors scroll.
• Editable comments and custom forms: Logged-in users and guests can edit comments within a set time limit. The comment form supports custom fields and quick tags to fit your needs.
• Spam protection and add-ons: Built-in anti-spam measures reduce moderation work. Add-ons extend the plugin with emoticons, user mentions, media uploading and front-end moderation.

Best for

• Bloggers who want livelier comment threads
