What can Comment Edit Pro do for you?
Menu Helper shortcuts on the frontend aid in comment management
You’re able to open and close comments, delete all post comments, and have quick links to common admin areas right from your menu bar.
Advanced options, such as disabling all comments, help you take action fast
You can disable all comments, hide all comments, and disable spam protection in just a few clicks.
Custom avatars add a bit of diversity and fun to your comment section
Choose from a variety of avatars, which will show next to your comment section. Your users can choose a fun avatar to display instead of their Gravatar.
Gravatar protection helps protect your users’ privacy
Gravatar can sometimes accidentally expose an email or identity. A checkbox is placed in your comment form so users can opt out of having their Gravatar shown.
Frontend editing and moderation make comment management convenient
With frontend moderation, you can moderate comments when viewing a post on the frontend. With useful tools like one-click editing, and the ability to block comments, you can do it all without having to visit the admin.
Unlimited editing for logged-in users
By using this option, your logged-in users will be able to edit their comments indefinitely. This is the most popular feature of the plugin.
Force delete and spam comments to save some clicks
With these options enabled, deleted or spammed comments skip the trash and are deleted forever. You can choose different behavior for moderators and users.
Modify the comment form and add character control for more thought-out comments
Strip the URL from the comment form, adjust comment labels, and set a character limit.
Add newsletter integration to your comment form and get leads from comments
Choose from ConvertKit (Kit), Mailchimp, MailerLite, and Flodesk as your newsletter solutions. Users can opt in right from your comment form.
Increase your spam protection
If you use Akismet, you can skip spam protection for logged-in users or those who have a valid Gravatar. Additional spam protection comes from reCAPTCHA Enterprise and Cloudflare Turnstile.
Set a post expiration for comments based on activity
You’re able to set an expiration for a post’s comments. The expiration adapts to activity, so if a new comment is posted, the activity resets. You can choose this globally or per post.
Get comment notifications via Slack or email
Set up an email address to receive edit comment notifications, and set up a Slack webhook to get notifications in a channel.
Send Webhook requests when a comment is posted
Using Webhooks, you can send requests to third-party automation services as comments are posted, unleashing automation possibilities.
Force comments open or closed depending on post type
Per post type, you can force comments open or closed, set discussion defaults, and disable all pingbacks.
Multisite compatible
Set one license per network, disable and hide comments network-wide. Set up Slack notifications, adjust the edit timer, and set email notifications for the network.
Why Choosing Comment Edit Pro Makes All The Difference
The Plugin Works with Native Comments
A lot of comment plugins take over the native WordPress commenting system and break compatibility with many third-party commenting plugins. Comment Edit Pro works with the native commenting system, so it won’t mess up your existing commenting system.
You’ll receive Great Support and Continuous Updates
Comment Edit Pro is updated frequently, and you can expect great support from DLX Plugins when you need it. Popular features such as editing WooCommerce reviews and a ConvertKit newsletter integration were created from customer requests.

What’s the difference between Comment Edit Core and Comment Edit Pro?
Comment Edit Core has a handful of options, mainly to customize the frontend editing experience, which allows anonymous users to edit their comments within the allotted time. Comment Edit Pro extends Comment Edit Core and provides a wealth of other useful comment utilities.
Why does this plugin require native comments?
Supporting native WordPress comments instead of third-party solutions offers several long-term benefits:
Customization and Flexibility: Native comments offer greater flexibility for customization, allowing you to tailor the comment system to fit your specific needs and enhance user engagement without being restricted by third-party features or limitations.
Seamless Integration: Native comments are built into WordPress, ensuring compatibility with themes and plugins without the need for additional integrations or custom coding.
Performance and Security: Native comments are managed within your WordPress ecosystem, reducing reliance on external services that could impact site performance and introduce security vulnerabilities.
Data Ownership: By using native comments, you maintain full control over your data, ensuring that user interactions and content remain on your site and are not subject to third-party policies or potential data breaches.
Do I need other commenting plugins for this plugin to work?
No other plugins are necessary to use this plugin, although native WordPress comments are a hard requirement.
Does this work with XYZ commenting plugin?
If the plugin is using native WordPress comments, chances are, yes.
We won’t work with third-party commenting systems that take over native WP comments, such as WPDiscuz and Thrive Comments.
We’re also compatible out of the box with:
- Comment Edit Core
- Ajaxify Comments
What can I expect after purchasing a license?
You’ll receive a new user account, where you can log in to download the plugin and retrieve your license key. Download and license key details will also be sent to your email address.
Can I upgrade my license later?
Yes, please choose only the number of sites you need. If you need a few more, just reach out to me via support. You can also upgrade to a higher site license at a later time.
What is “guided setup” when I purchase a license
If you purchase the Agency or Freelancer plan, I will schedule a Google Meet to discuss your site’s comment goals, and I’ll show you how to set up the plugin.
Is the plugin Multisite compatible?
Yes, the plugin works great when it’s network-activated. A network-activated admin panel will display, where you can set network-wide options such as:
- Disable all new comments.
- Hide all comments.
- Set a network-wide contact for comment emails.
- Set up the edit timer and unlimited editing network-wide.
- Set up network-wide Slack notifications of new and edited comments.
- Set the spam/delete behavior when deleting or spamming comments.
How does a license work with Multisite?
You only need one license per Multisite network when the plugin is network-activated.
