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.
Top Commentators Widget :
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.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.
CommentLuv :
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.Link : CommentLuv WordPress Plugin
Ajax Comments :
This pluign enable your readers to coment quickly without leaving or refreshing the page.
WordPress Thread Comment :
It enables users to reply on a exist comment, and the discussion will be displayed threaded or nested.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.Link : WP Comment Auto Responder WordPress Plugin
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.
Thank Me Later :
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.Recent Comments :
This simple plugin displays a list of your blog’s newest comments.
@Reply \w comment preview :
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.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.
huge list. :0
thanks, I was looking auto responder plugin but did not know its name, haven’t tried rest.
thanks for the list.
Hello Simrandeep, could you please tell me what a comment plugin you are using. I like this “reply”.
You can enable the threaded comments option from your wordpress admin panel if you want to turn on the reply feature
Nice plugins 🙂
@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. WP Twitip ID and thank me later seem to be interesting and are new for me. Thumbs up. Good article.
Nice collection .. i used Ajax Comments plugins but won’t worked for me anyway thx for sharing
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.
Great list.
The top commentator plugin can lead to comment hijacking.Ajax comment and commentluv plugin are great.
Good List for making your blog more user friendly! I use top commenter and recent comments! Have not looked at the rest yet
Cheers

hi ,i like most of the plugins, wp comment auto responder and thank me later provide the same function , isn’t it? For the comment plugin wise, i prefer disqus to comment luv 🙂
I want to thank you for yet another wonderful article. I am always on the look-out for great WordPress tips to recommend to my own readers. Thanks for taking the time to write this article. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Truly great post.
I love using Comment Luv on my sites…. I think its one of the best out there.
Really good post, thank you.
I am looking for an ajax posting comments.but couldnt find a good one.
You can try the Ajax Comments 2.09 plugin by Mike Smullin. Link –
Thanks for this complete list of comment-related plugins. I am in love with Commentluv and Keywordluv, as they support the visiting blog owner a lot. Activity around a blog should increase exponentially when rewards are made available to visitors and when exciting competitions are run on the blog. GD, Australia
Does anyone know if having too many plugins in your WP blog would affect SEO?
It seems I have seen some of the more ranking blogs with little plugins, or widgets for that matter.
I don’t think plugins ‘affect SEO’ but they can slow down the time it takes to load your website
Link Building is one of the most significant aspect of the off page optimization process and is a major determinant of the popularity of your site. For search engines, back links or links pointing to your website indicate that you are ‘hot’ in the online marketplace.
Nice Plug ins
wow, very useful plugin
Useful list thanks. I also installed the fckeditor for wordpress plugin as this gives the commenter some control over the format of the comments.
I am adict of plugins. I do not quite understand how come all these little programs are free. They are so useful.
I am grateful for all the people that work so hard to create them.
But still I am amazed.
Thanks anyway
Many plugins have got a paid version with more powerful features, other free are just a good promotion for the programmer.
I think it builds a good reputation and trust, to give some things for free!
true…
just imagine how easy it is for us to pick and apply a plugin and still they dont cost anything. WordPress and contributors have very important role to involve more and more mass on web
What is good plugin to stop all of the blog spamming?
Akismat is the best plugin to control blog spamming.
Very useful list, decided to implement Subscribe to Comments and Ajax Comments based on your suggestions. Many thanks.
excellent stuff man…very usefull for a full time blogger like myself….keep it coming bro…cheers
Great stuff – Extremely useful content!

CommentLuv plugin is cool 🙂
Thanks for posting your opinion. I’m using the Thank me later and the CommentLuv plugin for my blog. Does the Top Commentators Widget show the thumbnail of the commentator?
Hope all of us learn from it. Thanks.
Yes, it shows the thumbnail of the commentator.
no surprise Top Commentators Widget is surely my first choice
being a webmaster is sometimes very tiring due to the large amount of multitasking involved:*.

Yes, this plugin has the option to show thumbnails of top commentators.
These are some great plugins. I specifically like the comment luv plugin, as well as the “thank me later one.” Really good info.
hay its a nice collection…great job bro…
Thank You for sharing this! Really great:)
i understand that but using the word press blog it is very easy to share your information. thanks.
There are some great WordPress comment plugins here and I utilize some of these in the wordpress blogs I developed. Does anyone have any additional comment plugins they would like to share?
hey thanks for sharing this list i was looking for it….
Hi, what comment plugin do you use? I’m looking for the same one but from the article it is not certain.
Thank You for sharing this! Really great 🙂
Adding Customizing Smilies and Edit Comments Plugin are also a very Important Plugin.
Thanks for the good list. I have been using CommentLuv on many of my sites, but will now try to use the other to see which one works best with my sites.

Commentluv is just perfect! I’ve been using this plugins ever since I started blogging. However, I haven’t tried any of the remaining in your list. But learning what their functions are made me realize that they deserve to be favorites. I would give time to add them all. Thanks for the sharing!

Nice list. Cant get an AJAX plugin that actually loads the comment though..
does anyone knows side panel plugin for comment ?
I would suggest trading out the long-time-unsupported “Reply with comment” with the very stable “Reply me” plugin. However, its worth noting that WordPress Thread Comment has its own tool for the same thing built in (but not enabled by default) and if the user is using that plugin should not use other plugins of the same type.

Thanks for the very informative article… now i can protect my blog from spammers! Cheers!!!
