1. The plugins shared here are very effective for comment system but i like JETPACK .

2. Hey Samdani,

   Thank you for stopping by and giving your feedback 🙂 DISQUS is one of my all time favourite commenting solution you get way less spam.

   • Yes, i do agree with you about DISQUS but it should be confessed that JETPACK is also secured comment system plugin from being spam .

     • It could just be me but I still receiving thousands of spam comment on my personal blogs that’s using Jetpack. One thing is for sure is that the default commenting system does encourage more people to comment.

3. I have good experience with Jetpack by WordPress.com . It is not only a plugin but also a doctor for WordPress websites. It boosts speed of websites, protect from hackers and helpful for SEO. It also has an awesome option for tracking visitors.

   • Hey Janet,

     Jetpack is a great option to consider; it used to be very bloated, but the recent updates have helped streamline things. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts 🙂

4. Thanks for sharing all these commenting plugins with us. I’m looking to some wordpress commenting

   • Hey Shery,

     All the best.

5. Brian, How I can set up user message plugin on this pos terminal?
   http://pos-fl.com/
   As a professional you may know it. Please tell me how I fix this problem?
   Thanks!

   • Hey Jack,

     Thank you for reaching out. Currently, I am unable to access your site it says too many redirects.
     Sorry if this sounds silly but when you say user message terminal are you referring to like a chat plugin?

6. Hey Brian,

   Good list of plugins.

   Right now I see alot of bloggers using Disgus. I also like facebook comments as it could potentially bring in some social traffic.

   That’s why I just installed comments evolved as it contains them both. A little glitch in this plugin is that the Gplus comments does not always appear and I need to click another tab and then back to get it working.

   Another plugin worth mentioning is wpDiscuz. It should be on your list. I am still in comtemplation between comments evolved and wpDiscuz. wpDiscuz is like a self hosted version of Disgus.

   By the way, when trying to submit my comment using firefox, I got an error saying I need javascript and cookies enabled. I’m trying safari instead.

   • Hey Leo,
     Disqus is awesome I use it on all my sites besides this one. Facebook comment plugin is great if you have a site geared towards social sharing like ViralNova, Upworthy, etc…
     I think with the Facebook plugin overall you might receive fewer comments.

     Out of wpdiscuz and evolved I am leaning towards wpdiscuz because I like to have a copy of the comments. However, my concern with any commenting plugin is whether or not it stores a copy of the comment to your local DataBase. As the plugin could retire or you might want to move to a different solution.

     Sorry about the error issue you experienced. I am experimenting with different comment spam protection. I get hundreds of spammy comments every day. It’s super hard to filter genuine comments.

     Honestly, I am concerning moving to Disqus or I might try wpdiscuz.

     I see you are using evolved let me know how you get on?

7. Brian

   I read yesterday that Disgus keeps your comments but you can get it all downloaded to your wordpress native comments database.

   What I like about wpdiscuz is that it allows sharing the comments in different platforms too. I am really trying to figure out if there is some big advantage to using Disgus, otherwise why are so many bloggers using it. It is to do with the community, like we can follow each other? So each time we comment, there would be inbound traffic from followers.

   I still need to register with Disgus so I can get the disgus tab of comments evolved working. I’ll report how things get on, but like I say, I am still not 100% on either solution.

   • Hi Leo,

     Yes, Disqus does allow you to store comments locally on WordPress. A few advantages to Disqus is that:
     – users can sign in with facebook, twitter or Google+ to leave a comment
     – you spend less time moderating because if there is a well-known spammer in the community if they were to attempt to comment on your blog chances are they wouldn’t get auto approve.
     – there is that social aspect
     – super easy for users to comment
     – little if no auto bot comments
     – you can also display ads in your comment via Disqus ad network.

     Quick question, what do you think about the default WordPress commenting system?

8. As it is, the default wordpress commenting system is really bare.

   If we use the wordpress commenting system but enhance it with plugins, then it has its uses.

   Some of the uses that have me thinking twice of moving to a third party system like disgus are:
   – comment redirection – redirect those who first comment to a thank you page, where you connect and apply a CTA.
   – subscribe to new comments
   – people can just write a comment by filling in name and email without the need to login

   What about your thoughts about keeping the wordpress comment system?

   • All valid points Leo.
     I ran a similar site to this one before using Disqus, and the feedback I got from readers was that they prefer the default WP comment because they can link back to their sites.

     So if other readers wanted to learn more about a particular commenter they can easily do so.

     If it wasn’t for the thousands of spam comments, we receive every week I would recommend it all day.

9. Brian

   If spam is the only issue, then you could install a recaptcha to the default wp commenting system.

   Wpdiscuz also has a recaptcha add on too.

   Another plugin I am looking at is Postmatic. It allows people to follow the comment updates via email and reply via email will get added to the comments without them having to visit the page.

   • I have just installed one 🙂 My main reason for not doing so sooner is because we have over 30 active plugins which are slowing the site down 🙁

     I do plan to code up a custom fix in the theme when I have some time.

     Postmatic, looks interesting…currently, when I visit their site, half the page does not load. So, I’m not able to take a closer look.
     Great find never the less.

10. Thanks for some useful tips… Lol bribery will always seem to work. I’ll take your recommendations and implement them one by one until I get it right.

11. Hey Brian,

    Thanks for your nice article on “10+ Best WordPress Comments Plugins”. Comment plugins are essential for a business website and these plugins are also best comment plugins and users will get benefit from your awesome guideline.

12. Thanh you ! I can get the disgus tab of comments evolved working. I’ll report how things get on, but like I say, I am still not 100% on either solution.

13. I found lots of interesting information here. The post was well written. I want to be thankful for the way you have put it here. Thanks for such post and please keep it up.

14. The list you have published was great. As my opinion, CommentLuv is now a dead commenting system.
    Anyway, thanks for sharing an awesome content.

    • Hi Jennifer,

      Oh no:( It was great around 2010. The free version seems to be working still.
      Great slider plugin!, you can submit it here: https://saasscout.com/vendors/ it’s free to do so ?

15. DISQUS is one of my all time favorite commenting solution you get way less spam.

    • Hi Almin,

      DISQUS has been one of my favorite for a long time too 🙂
      What I like is that it allows you to backup your comment via default WordPress system.

16. I have been using wpDiscuz for the last year or so. Tried Disqus a couple of times before but it was consistently overbloated (in particular, it was running too many mysterious 3rd party JS files). Will stick to wpDiscuz I guess.

    • Hi xpil,

      Thank you for visiting, wpDiscuz seems like a great engaging plugin. I will have to check it out further.
