wpDiscuz

wpDiscuz is a high-performance, real-time AJAX commenting system for WordPress designed to replace the native comment form with a more interactive and social experience. Unlike external systems like Disqus, it stores all comments in your local WordPress database, ensuring you maintain full ownership of your data.

Core Features

• Real-time Updates: Includes a “Live Update” feature and a “Comment Bubble” that notifies users of new comments as they happen without refreshing the page.
• Engagement Tools: Supports comment voting (upvote/downvote), nested (multi-level) threads, and the ability for users to follow specific comment authors or discussions.
• Customisable Layouts: Offers three distinct, modern comment layouts and a custom form builder to adjust fields based on post types.
• Social & User Features: Integrated social login options (Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.) and anonymous commenting settings.
• Performance Optimisation: Features built-in lazy loading for comments and “Load More” AJAX buttons to improve initial page load times.
• Anti-Spam & Security: Built-in “invisible” anti-spam protection, with native support for Google reCAPTCHA Version 2 in recent versions.

Premium Features

• Media Uploader: Allows users to upload images and files directly into comments.
• Frontend Moderation: Gives moderators the ability to approve, spam, or delete comments directly from the front end.
• User Notifications: Advanced options for notifying users of replies and new comments.
• Advanced Likers: Adds reputation titles, badges, and the ability to see who liked/disliked a comment.
• Voice Commenting: Enables users to record and leave voice messages as comments.
• Google reCAPTCHA: Provides advanced spam protection beyond the built-in invisible protection.
