<p>This plugin extends the comment closing functionality in WordPress to allow<br />
you to extend the discussion time when older posts have recent comments<br />
accepted, or to override the comment closing time on a post by post basis.</p>
<p><strong>Note: PHP 4 is no longer supported.</strong> As of version 2.1, Comment Timeout requires PHP 5.2 or later.<br />
If you are still using PHP 4, you should use Comment Timeout 2.0.1.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>You can change various settings globally on the “Comment Timeout” page under the<br />
“Options” tab on the WordPress dashboard. Most of the options are fairly<br />
self-explanatory.</p>
<p>You can also change options on a per-post basis by looking for the<br />
“Comment Timeout” section in the sidebar of the post or page editor.</p>
<h3>Template tags</h3>
<p>Comment Timeout 2.1 introduces two new functions that you can use in your theme:</p>
<pre><code>get_comment_timeout()
</code></pre>
<p>Returns the UTC time, as a Unix timestamp, when comments will be closed for the current post.</p>
<pre><code>the_comment_timeout($relative, $dateformat, $before, $after, $moderated)
</code></pre>
<p>Formats and displays the date and time after which comments will no longer be<br />
accepted on this post. Parameters are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$relative</strong>: Set this to <code>true</code> if you want to display the date in terms of the time remaining<br />
(for instance “in 3 weeks”). Set it to <code>false</code> to display it as an absolute date.</li>
<li><strong>$dateformat</strong>: The format in which the date should be displayed, as used by the PHP<br />
date() function. If you set this to <code>false</code>, it will use the date format that you have configured<br />
globally for your WordPress installation.</p>
<ul>
<li>If <code>$relative</code> is set to <code>true</code>, this parameter is ignored.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>$before</strong>: The HTML to insert before the date that comments will be closed.</li>
<li><strong>$after</strong>: The HTML to insert after the date that comments will be closed.</li>
<li><strong>$moderated</strong>: The HTML to display when late comments are being sent to the moderation queue<br />
rather than being rejected outright.</li>
</ul>

<p>Few users are familiar with the comment block list built into WordPress. Located in the WordPress admin area under “Settings”—“Discussion”, that block list for incoming comments accepts values (words) to identify spam by.</p>
<p>Additionally to plugins like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/antispam-bee/" rel="ugc">Antispam Bee</a> in order to fight spam successfully a curated comment block list is recommendable. You can either update the list manually, or utilize a very detailed global <a href="https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist" rel="nofollow ugc">comment block list</a> that gets updated on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Block List Updater has been developed to keep your comment block list in your WordPress installation up to speed with the curated global list on GitHub.</p>
<p>The plugin will check the global comment block list on GitHub multiple times a day. Whenever new anti-spam values have been added to the global list, Block List Updater will read the global list and update your WordPress database accordingly. While the check-up process will run several times a day, the plugin will only update the database when it detects an actual change of the global comment block list on GitHub.</p>
