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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reject Comments Submitted Too Fast
Rejects comments sent within a few seconds of the page loading, which only bots manage, using a signed timestamp in the form.
Remove the Email Field From Comments
Lets visitors comment with just a name, for communities where asking for an email address puts people off.
Remove the Website Field From Comments
Removes the Website (URL) field from the comment form, which discourages comments posted only to get a link.
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.
Strip HTML From Comments
Removes all HTML tags from comments submitted by users who are not allowed to post unfiltered HTML, so links and formatting cannot be injected.
