Keeping up with comments can be a full time job

Correcting typos, dealing with spam, and keeping up with comments are just some of the time-consuming and frustrating aspects of comments.

With utilities like frontend editing and comment shortcuts, managing comments is easier and more intuitive. You can close or open comments from the admin bar, moderate comments in place, and quickly view comments that need approval.

You can enable comments exactly where you choose, close comments on posts with no recent activity, and even turn off new comments if your site is under attack.

David McCan of the Dynamic WordPress group was kind enough to create a walkthrough of the plugin.

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.
