Advanced Comment Form Plugin
Advanced Comment Form lets you customize plenty of things on the default comment forms in WordPress.
Advanced Comment Form enables you to customize the WordPress comment form right from your dashboard.
You can find the settings page under Comments > Comment Form
in the dashboard.
Remove Fields
- remove the email field for standard, and non standard comment forms
- remove the website field for standard, and non standard comment forms
Change Text
- remove the message that emails are not published and which fields are required
- remove the text about which html tags are allowed
- insert custom text before the form
- insert custom text after the form
Layouts
- use a two columns layout for the comment form
Shortcode
[comment-form]
shortcode to insert comment form into posts and pages
Important Notes
- the plugin works only, if your theme uses the standard WordPress comment form function
- options that where submitted with the
comment_form
function in your template overwrite most of the plugin functions
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
