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.

Overview

About this plugin

Make comments management easier by applying the simple hacks Joost has gathered over the years.

This plugin adds some small hacks around core WordPress comments to make them more bearable:

  • Cleaner comment notification emails.
  • The option to enforce a comment policy: just create a comment policy page, toggle the option on and select it, and

commenters will have to accept your comment policy before being able to comment.

  • The option to forward comments to an email address (for instance for your support team) and then trash them.
  • The option to disallow comments below and above a certain length.
  • The option to redirect first time commenters to a “thank you” page.
  • An input field on the comment edit screen to change the comment parent ID.
  • Links in the admin comments section to email individual commenters.
  • A button in the WP toolbar to email all the commenters on a post.
  • Adds a comment routing option. This adds a dropdown in a post’s discussion settings, allowing the routing of comment emails to another user.

See the screenshots to get an even better idea of the plugins’ functionality.
