Huge set of customizing options and helpful support. It’s the ideal enhancement for the default WP comment funcionality.

I removed some security plugins that I do not need anymore and the plugin worked wonderfully. It had crashed my website before, but I discovered it may have entered in conflict with other plugin I had.Now that it is working beautifully, I am anxious to try it in the official website. I hope it will engage my readers even more with the content. This plugin is fantastic. I recommend!

El plugin tiene muchas funciones y muy útiles, fácilmente personalizables y con una interfaz muy clara. Faltaría traducir la interfaz al castellano en mi caso, veremos si es posible colaborar en la tarea.
