FAQ
Go to any post where comment is enabled and try to post a comment. If comment is posted successfully means everything is working fine. If you see error 400, you just have forgot to clear page cache after plugin activation. If you are still unable to post a comment and page just reload to itself means your theme uses a different comment form ID that has not been included by this plugin. Please create a support topic with your site URL. I will take care of it.
