Featured Comments

Lets the admin add "featured" or "buried" css class to selected comments. Handy to highlight comments that add value to your post.

<p>Updating and extending <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/feature-comments/" rel="ugc">“Featured Comments” by Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti</a>, Extraordinary Comments enables a site operator to highlight particular comments where they appear in threads, and also display them together in a widget and dedicated archive. Comments can be set “featured” either where they appear in comment threads – via a menu visible only to users at Editor level and above – or from “Comments” in WordPress Admin via the “on-hover”/Quick Edit menu. An option to “bury” comments in the same way is also available on the same menus.</p>
<p>Comments featured or buried in Featured Comments will still be featured or buried in Extraordinary Comments, and prior “in-thread” styles should still apply. Extraordinary Comments also corrects a defect in Featured Comments that prevented its front end option from working as intended.</p>
<p>As ever, facility with CSS and PHP will help you get the most out of a plug-in like this one, though Extraordinary Comments has been designed with the idea of working  with standard themes “out of the box.”</p>
<h3>EXTRAORDINARY COMMENTS IS INTENDED FOR STANDARD WORDPRESS COMMENT THREADS</h3>
<p>This plug-in will not work with 3rd Party commenting systems like Disqus or Facebook Comments, and either may not function or may require specialized adjustments to work with custom commenting set-ups or plug-ins.</p>
<h3>Additional Info</h3>
<h4>Still to Come</h4>
<ol>
<li>Archives for Individual Commenters</li>
<li>Integration with a full <a href="http://ckmacleod.com/wordpress-plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">“Commentariat Suite”</a> of WordPress plugins. </li>
</ol>
<h4>Thanks!</h4>
<p>All gratitude to Pippin Williamson and Utkarsh Kukreti for the original Featured Comments. Thanks also to all of the developers and everyday code-hackers, far too numerous to name, upon whose work I have depended.</p>
