Site Activity Timeline Widget
Adds a dashboard widget with one timeline of the latest published posts, approved comments and new user sign-ups, newest first, so you see what happened on the site at a glance.
Snippet Library
WordPress code snippets, ready to use
3,040 free snippets from the WPIDE team and the community. Copy the code, or add any snippet to your site in one click with WPIDE.
Skip Akismet Checks for Trusted Logged-In Users
Stops sending comments from logged-in users who can edit posts (authors, editors, administrators) to Akismet, saving API calls and keeping staff replies out of the spam queue.
Skip Rendering Off-Screen Comments and Footers Until Needed
Uses the CSS content-visibility property so browsers skip laying out the comments section, footer and related posts until the visitor scrolls near them, which speeds up rendering of long pages.
Spam Comments Copied Across Several Posts
Sends a comment to spam when exactly the same text was already posted on another post in the last day, a typical sign of a spam bot working through your site.
Spam Comments Linking to Suspicious Domains
Sends comments to spam when the commenter's website field points to a domain ending you have chosen to distrust, such as .xyz, .top or .click.
Star Rating Field in Comments
Adds an optional 1 to 5 star rating to the comment form, saves it with the comment and shows the stars above the comment text, for review-style posts.
Stop Changing "Wordpress" to "WordPress"
Disables the filter that silently rewrites the spelling of WordPress in titles, content and comments, which can break URLs or quoted text.
Stop Comment Notification Emails
Stops WordPress from emailing post authors about new comments and moderators about comments awaiting approval.
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.
Store Only Shortened IP Addresses for Comments
Saves commenters' IP addresses with the last part removed (for example 203.0.113.0), which is still enough for spam checks but no longer identifies a person.
Stricter Comment Flood Protection
Requires a longer pause between two comments from the same person, 60 seconds instead of WordPress's 15, to slow down comment bursts.
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.
Theme-Styled Button for the Comment Form
Replaces the comment form's submit input with a real button element that carries your theme's button classes, so it matches the other buttons on your site.
Top Commenters Shortcode
Adds a [wpide_top_commenters] shortcode listing the people who left the most approved comments, a simple way to thank your community.
Turn Off Avatars Everywhere
Stops avatars from being shown in comments, the admin bar and user lists, saving the image requests.
Turn Off Avatars in the Dashboard Only
Stops wp-admin from loading an avatar for every row of the comments and users screens and the dashboard, which saves dozens of requests to Gravatar, while avatars keep showing on the front of the site.
Turn Off Comments on New Network Sites
Creates every new site with comments, pingbacks and trackbacks switched off by default, for networks of brochure or business sites.
Unanswered Comments Widget
Adds a dashboard widget listing recent approved comments from readers that nobody on your team has replied to yet, so questions do not go unanswered.
Use the Comment Blocklist for Contact Form 7
Marks Contact Form 7 submissions as spam when they contain any word, IP address or email from WordPress's own Disallowed Comment Keys list, so one blocklist protects comments and forms.
Use the Comment Blocklist for Fluent Forms
Blocks Fluent Forms submissions that contain any word, IP address or email from WordPress's Disallowed Comment Keys list, so one blocklist protects comments and forms.
Use the Comment Blocklist for Gravity Forms
Sends Gravity Forms entries to spam when they contain any word, IP address or email from WordPress's Disallowed Comment Keys list, so one blocklist covers comments and forms.
Use the Comment Blocklist for WPForms
Blocks WPForms submissions that contain any word, IP address or email from WordPress's Disallowed Comment Keys list, so one blocklist protects comments and forms.
Weekly Site Activity Summary by Email
Emails the site admin every Monday with last week's numbers: new posts, comments, pending items and new users, so you keep an eye on the site without logging in.
