Top 11 Comment Plugins To Make Your WordPress Blog More User Friendly

by Simrandeep Singh on May 21, 2009

One of the best features of WordPress is its plugins feature and after moving to WordPress I’ve collected so many plugins. Some of these are very useful and handy that I will share with you. In this post I’ve listed 11 best comments related plugins. You must use these plugins to make your WordPress blog more user friendly.

  1. Top Commentators Widget :

    top-commentators-plugin
    Top commentators Widget is the must have plugin for any WordPress blog to receive more comments. This plugin also helps the commentators to receive a link back from the blog for some days.

  2. Subscribe To Comments :

    Subscribe to comments plugin helps your visitors to sign up for an email notification of subsequent entries. It also provides options for commentators to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address.

    Link : Subscribe To Comments WordPress Plugin

  3. CommentLuv :

    commentluv-plugin
    This one is one of my favorite plugins. You can show love to your commentators by giving a link to their last blog post using CommentLuv plugin. It also helps you to get more comments on your articles. So it is beneficial for both the author and readers of the blog.

  4. Ajax Comments :

    This pluign enable your readers to coment quickly without leaving or refreshing the page.

  5. WordPress Thread Comment :

    wp-thread-comment
    It enables users to reply on a exist comment, and the discussion will be displayed threaded or nested.

  6. WP Comment Auto Responder :

    wp-comment-auto-responder
    You might have received a thankful notification after leaving a comment on some blogs. WP Comment Auto Responder does this task for you. Its  the nice way to say thanks to your commentators.

  7. Edit Comments XT :

    Its a simple yet useful plugin that allows your commentators to edit their own comments. The commentators can only edit the comment with the time specified by you.

  8. Thank Me Later :

    thank-me-later-plugin
    Thank Me Later is a plug-in which will automatically send a thank you email to readers after they post a comment. It can be set to send the message a time after the comment was posted (an hour, day, week, month, etc). It is effective as it will remind readers of their comments and gets them engaged with future discussion and your blog. It is useful to attract “one-time” readers who will post one comment, and then forget about your blog.

  9. Recent Comments :

    This simple plugin displays a list of your blog’s newest comments.

  10. @Reply \w comment preview :

    reply-comment-plugin
    This plugin allows you to add Twitter-like @reply links to comments, including a preview of the comment replied to. When clicked, those links insert the author name and a link to the comment you are replying to in the textarea, and adds a Preview of the original comment to the @Reply.

    Link : @Reply \w comment preview WordPress Plugin

  11. WP Twitip ID :

    WP Twitip ID adds a field to the comment form for a user to add their twitter username. Once published, their comment will display a link to follow them on twitter.

@Gagan,

There is another plugin I used long back called comment relish [http://www.justinshattuck.com/2007/03/19/comment-relish-wordpress-plugin/]. The problem with such plugins is that they are said to consume much resources.

Nice choice of plugins.
You need to customize your theme, specially the Header. Looks odd on widescreen.

Hi,

I have 3 plug-ins that you have mentioned above.

I don’t think threaded comments plug-in is a must as most of the themes today come with that enabled already. It’s probably used on old themes which are not supported, just my opinion.

Otherwise, a nice collection of plug-ins. Comments play such and important role on a blog or site. Webmasters must ensure that the comment section is readable and correct.

Thanks for sharing :)

Great list dude.

But i don’t like to receive thanks mails from WP Comment Auto Responder. I feel its just killing my time to monitor all those mails :) But good for new bloggers to retain the readers.

The top commentator plugin can lead to comment hijacking.Ajax comment and commentluv plugin are great.
