CommentXpert is a powerful and easy to use plugin that gives administrators complete control over comment functionality on their websites. It introduces the ability for users to mark comments as private, making them visible only to the comment author and site administrators. This feature is perfect for confidential discussions or sensitive feedback. Private comments submitted by users go through an admin review and approval process, ensuring a secure and moderated environment. Once approved, these comments remain hidden from other users or visitors. Admins also have the flexibility to convert private comments into public ones if deemed helpful to others, or vice versa, upon the comment author’s request. With an intuitive settings page, admins can effortlessly customize comment behavior to suit their specific needs, enhancing moderation, security, and user experience.
