Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

Updating and extending “Featured Comments” by Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti, Extraordinary Comments enables a site operator to highlight particular comments where they appear in threads, and also display them together in a widget and dedicated archive. Comments can be set “featured” either where they appear in comment threads – via a menu visible only to users at Editor level and above – or from “Comments” in WordPress Admin via the “on-hover”/Quick Edit menu.

An option to “bury” comments in the same way is also available on the same menus.

Comments featured or buried in Featured Comments will still be featured or buried in Extraordinary Comments, and prior “in-thread” styles should still apply. Extraordinary Comments also corrects a defect in Featured Comments that prevented its front end option from working as intended.

EXTRAORDINARY COMMENTS IS INTENDED FOR STANDARD WORDPRESS COMMENT THREADS

This plug-in will not work with 3rd Party commenting systems like Disqus or Facebook Comments, and either may not function or may require specialized adjustments to work with custom commenting set-ups or plug-ins.

  • Archives for Individual Commenters

Thanks!

All gratitude to Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti for the original Featured Comments. Thanks also to all of the developers and everyday code-hackers, far too numerous to name, upon whose work I have depended.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
