    I really like this comment system so much that I replaced the custom comment system I made for my site with this one. My suggestion is that, always keep this open source and fat free. Fat free means devoid of clutter, paid addons and all. This has a great potential to compete head to head with Discuz and even Jetpack comments.

    Also some other good features you can include:
    1) integration with akismet, (I am not sure whether it is already supporting Akismet)
    2) Twitter Emojis, as you know even WordPress will be integrating with Twitter Emojis as of next version of Jetpack, so it would be really good to have twitter emojis supported.

    Hi Rahul,
    Thank you for your kind and supportive words, we really do appreciate them. We’ll do as much as possible to make this plugin the best.

    1) integration with akismet, (I am not sure whether it is already supporting Akismet)

    wpDiscuz use the default WordPress Comment Creator functions so all WordPress features are already available. And as far as I know Akismet use the same functions to filter spams. So wpDiscuz already supports Akismet functions.

    2) Twitter Emojis, as you know even WordPress will be integrating with Twitter Emojis as of next version of Jetpack, so it would be really good to have twitter emojis supported.

    Thank you for this suggestion. We’ve added this in our Todo list.

    So all I have to do is enable Akismet and the comments made through the plugin will be filtered via akismet?

    Also there is a minor CSS change you need to do. “3 hours 23 minutes ago”, these kind of time labels are not responsive in mobile phones with less than 720px width displays. They go out of the comment wrapper area. I had to modify the CSS a tiny bit to make it work.

    #wpcomm .wc-comment-date {
    	font-size: 12px;
    	color: #999999;
    	width: 100%;
    	float: right;
    	text-align: right;
    	display: block;
    	white-space: nowrap;
    	line-height: 27px;
    }

    Yes, it should work.

    I think the problem in white-space: nowrap; part, you don’t need to decrease the font-size. Just remove the “nowrap” option. We’ll remove it on next release.

    Ya I fixed it. The captcha option, is it possible to replace that captcha with Google’s new Recaptcha, the latest one, I think Version 2.0. It will help legitimate users from entering any sort of letters and words.

    This may be a bit hard for site admins to register their sites in reCAPTCHA and get some key to activate it. I don’t think all WP site owners can do that. This can’t work without the key. However I think this can be added as a second option for captcha. We’ll review this suggestion…

    Ya secondary option is good. One last question, is it allowed to modify this? I mean is it available in github to fork?

    I’m sorry but wpDiscuz github is only available for gVectors Team, it’s not open yet.

    Ok thank you.

    It seems to be sending notifications to user email when they comment, does it send notification per comment? Like if there are 12 comments made in 3 minutes, does it send 12 notifications? I don’t want to end up spamming the members inbox. Hope u can help me with this.

    Also when am engaged in a conversation with another user, suppose me and him are simultaneously commentingon the post, does that comment get displayed to me in real time like Disquz and livefyre, or should I treload the page?

    Thank you for this good point!
    The first initial version of wpDiscuz has been released just 12 days ago. We have made lots of changes within this 12 days, and as you can see we still have a lot to do. This kind of corrections had not been added in first places of our ToDo list, but we’re going to add an email time-point indicator for each user and allow notification one per hour or per 5 new comments, or something like that. This has not a certain logic, and may not be accepted by others. For example someone can say, that he wants to get notification for each new comment, I don’t think this may cause spam issue. However this is possible and we’ll pay attention to this.

    does that comment get displayed to me in real time

    You need to reload, there is not “live update” feature yet.

    Thread Starter Rahul Ramesh

    (@rahulascents)

    Ohh, ok. So is it possible to disable email notifications till then?

    Edit: yes I was able to disable email notifications, I didn’t notice it at first. Ya in future versions you can introduce notification parameters where admins can select when the commenters get notified via email.
    Also, if at all “live reload” is introduced in future versions, make sure to make it optional, or else admins on shared hosting will end up with slow website. But wordpress on VPS and all can enable the feature. Thanks for hearing me out.

    Sure,
    There are two options for email notifications:

    1. Notify moderator on new comment
    2. Notify comment author on new reply

    You can uncheck those checkboxes.

    Yes, we’re planning to add this feature soon, and yes it’ll be optional, otherwise as you mentioned it may cause lots of problem with shared hosting.
