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.
Character Counter Under the Comment Box
Shows how many characters are left while typing a comment and stops input at the limit you set.
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.
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.
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.
Minimum and Maximum Comment Length
Rejects comments shorter than 15 characters or longer than 5,000 characters. Moderators are not limited.
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.
Recent Comments Shortcode
Adds a [wpide_recent_comments] shortcode that lists the latest approved comments with the commenter's name, post title and a short excerpt.
Remove Links From Comment Author Names
Shows commenter names as plain text instead of links to their websites, removing the main reward for comment spammers.
Send Comment Moderation Emails to More People
Sends "comment awaiting moderation" emails to extra addresses, such as your community manager, besides the site admin and post author.
Show Comments Only After a Click
Collapses the comments section behind a "Show comments" button, so long discussions do not distract from the article or load avatars until wanted.
Show Comments Only to Logged-In Users
Hides existing comments and the comment form from visitors who are not logged in, including in feeds and the REST API, and invites them to log in.
Stop Saving Commenter Details in Cookies
Stops WordPress from remembering commenters' name, email and website in cookies, and removes the related consent checkbox.
Stop Turning URLs in Comments Into Links
Keeps web addresses typed in comments as plain text, so spam links are not clickable.
