The purpose of this plugin is to add a guestbook site which uses the wordpress integrated comments.
Using the wordpress integrated comments system has some important advantages:
- Consistent styling of guestbook form and comment list for every theme you are using.
- All wordpress comment features are available for the guestbook comments also (e.g. E-Mail Notification, listing in “All Comments” on admin page,…)
- All plugins which are modifying the comment list or comment form will also work with Comment Guestbook automatically (e.g. a captcha plugin for antispam).
Other features and options:
- Setup comment form position (in page, above comment list, below comment list). You can also use more than one.
- Adjust the comment form (change texts, hide elements)
- Ajdust the comment order (newest first, oldest first)
- Option to show numbered pagination links for the comment list
- Ajdust the comment html-code for the guestbook page
- Option to include all comments of your site in the comment list on the guestbook page
- Sidebar widget to show recent comments with a lot of options
- Show a message after a new comment was made. This option you can also enable for all post/pages in your blog
