Snippet Library
Comments snippets for WordPress
Snippets for WordPress comments: fight spam, close comments on old posts, remove the website field, change the comment form and moderate faster. For bloggers and publishers who want useful discussions without the noise.
Change the Comment Form Title, Note and Button Text
Replaces "Leave a Reply", the "Your email address will not be published" note and the "Post Comment" button with your own wording.
Character Counter Under the Comment Box
Shows how many characters are left while typing a comment and stops input at the limit you set.
Clean Comment Form Styles
Gives the comment form full-width fields, rounded corners, a clear focus color and a solid submit button that match your accent color.
Close Comments After a Set Number
Closes the comment form on a post once it has reached the number of approved comments you choose, keeping threads manageable.
Close Comments on Media Attachments
Prevents comments on attachment pages, a frequent target for spam bots.
Collapse Long Comments With a Read More Button
Shortens very long comments to a few lines with a soft fade and a Read more / Show less button. Works with classic themes and the Comments block, and leaves comments whole when JavaScript is off.
Comment Invitation Near the End of Posts
Asks readers a question near the end of each post (after 80% of the content) and links straight to the comment form.
Disable Comments on Specific Post Types
Turns comments and pings off for the post types you choose, such as pages or products, while keeping them on blog posts.
Disable Pingbacks and Trackbacks
Closes pings on all content, removes the X-Pingback header and the XML-RPC pingback methods. Regular comments are not affected.
Disable Self-Pingbacks
Stops WordPress from sending pingbacks to your own site when you link to your own posts, so they do not clutter the comment queue.
Email Commenters When Someone Replies (Opt-In)
Adds a "Notify me of replies" checkbox to the comment form and emails the commenter once a reply to their comment is approved.
Email Commenters When Their Comment Is Approved
Lets people know by email when the comment they left has been approved and is live, with a link to it.
Hide Comments in the Admin From Users Who Cannot Moderate
Removes the Comments menu, admin bar bubble and screen for users without moderation rights, such as authors and contributors.
Highlight Comments by the Post Author
Gives replies written by the author of the post a colored left border so readers can spot them in long threads.
Hold Comments Written in All Capitals
Sends comments that are mostly in capital letters to the moderation queue instead of publishing them straight away.
Honeypot Field for Comment Spam
Adds a hidden field to the comment form that people never see but many bots fill in. Comments that fill it are rejected before reaching the database.
Jump-to-Comments Link in the Middle of Posts
Adds a small "Join the discussion" link with the comment count halfway through posts, so engaged readers find the comments faster.
Latest Comment Teaser Inside Long Posts
Shows a short quote from the most recent approved comment two thirds of the way through a post, with a link to the discussion.
Let Visitors Report Inappropriate Comments
Adds a "Report" link to each comment; moderators get an email on the first report and the comment is held for review after three reports.
Minimum and Maximum Comment Length
Rejects comments shorter than 15 characters or longer than 5,000 characters. Moderators are not limited.
Modern Comment List Styles
Restyles the comment list as soft cards with round avatars, a highlighted post author and thin lines that show reply threads.
Move the Comment Box Below the Name and Email Fields
Reorders the comment form so visitors fill in their name and email before writing the comment, the order many themes used before WordPress 4.4.
Privacy Notice Above the Comment Submit Button
Adds a short note above the submit button explaining that the name, email and comment are stored, with a link to your privacy policy page if one is set.
