Fixed in version 1.1.

I could not reproduce your issue. Can you give me more details? How did you define the 5th field? You can send me an email.

Hi
If you have a custom theme this plugin might not work because it relies on the default comments filters and actions.Custom themes might customize also the comments form.

I activated the default WP theme (Twenty Eleven).
some extra info not related to CEF:
Tried to upgrade the theme to version 1.3 and put my local wordpress themes admin section into maintenance. In the wordpress folder the failed upgrade creates a file with name .maintenance. Renamed it so I was able to download the last theme’s version and install it manually.

@tulanch: maybe informations here would help you There are some print screens and the code I used to define the field (there is the same display in both versions 1.2 and 1.3)

You welcome ??

Hi
What do you mean by “display correctly”? Ugly display or display at all?

In Comment Extra Field plugin in Admin panel when you choose a different input type (radio, checkbox, drop down, file etc) there will appear an exclamation mark in a blue circle. When you click on it ( from version 1.6, or mouse over till version 1.5) there will appear a tooltip in which you can see examples of how to insert information in your fields. E.g. for a drop down, in the field Drop Down Values you can insert value1 + option1; value2 + option2 (entry+Entry;intermediate+Intermediate;advanced+Advanced).

If you use a custom theme make sure it uses the default WordPress code method comments_template( '', true );. If the theme customizes the display of comments the hooks/filters that Comment Extra Field plugin uses will never be called.

You can use the HTML code field to define a custom field and format it with CSS (for example for a drop-down, in Comment Extra Fields, fill in the mandatory fields as you wish and in Custom HTML code with:

<select name='experience' id='experience' class='my_drop-down-class'>
    <option value='advanced'>Advanced</option>
    <option value='intermediate'>Intermediate</option>
    <option value='entry'>Entry</option>
</select>

)

But…here is a “small issue” that I will try to solve in version 1.7. In Admin Panel comment edit you will not be able to see the value the user chose when filling in the comments’ form on front side (just for custom HTML fields).

Hope this helps. For more details you can email me.

thank you for your idea. Just released version 1.5 in which I added a new field: “Where” and the admin can choose custom post types on which to show different extra comment fields.

thank you for your feedback
released a new version (1.5) in which I removed the tooltips javascript (now, when you click the information icon the text is displayed above the add/edit form), implemented the suggested solution for js variable and added a new field (Where) to show fields on defined custom post types.
