This plugin is a proof of concept for how comment editing might be added to the Customizer, with edits to comments being staged in changesets along with any other changes made in customziation session. It demonstrates scalable lazy-loading of controls/settings via the REST API. It demonstrates both dynamic settings and dynamic partials.
A new Comments section is added to the Customizer, and when this section is expanded the most recent comments are fetched from the REST API and then are added as textarea controls in the section. A button appears at the bottom of the section for loading subsequent pages of comments.
The comments are listed with the comment author and publish date along with the post it was commented on. Only the comment’s content is currently editable. When you do edit a comment that appears in the preview, then the comment will be previewed with selective refresh after a low-fidelity instant preview.
When you navigate to a post and see the comment list, clicking the “Edit Comment” link in the Customizer preview will cause the comment to be loaded into a new textarea control in the section, and the control will then be focused for editing.

This is a natural companion to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-posts/" rel="ugc">Customize Posts</a> feature plugin.

Customize Comments

Edit comments with live preview and bundle edits in Customizer changesets.

This plugin adds a Customizer control to select one or multiple posts (and eventually terms and users).
Core has long had a <code>dropdown-pages</code> control type which is used in the static front page section for the “page on front” and “page for posts” controls. There is a problem with this control however: it outputs the entire tree of pages for every registered instance of the control. For sites that have a lot of pages, this can introduce a performance problem to generate this full list, not only once, but twice for the two controls. This plugin upgrades the “page on front” and “page for posts” controls to instead make use of the Customize Object Selector control, not only allowing for the list of pages to be loaded via Ajax on demand but also for the list to be searched.
When the <a href="https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-posts" rel="nofollow ugc">Customize Posts</a> plugin is active, buttons will appear after the Select2 control to be able to create new posts to add to the selection. The Customize Object Selector will also power the post parent control. See <a href="https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-posts/pull/233" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-customize-posts#233</a>.
This plugin also includes a reusable JavaScript component available at <code>wp.customize.ObjectSelectorComponent</code> which can be used in widgets or other locations.
For an example integration with widgets, see the <a href="https://github.com/xwp/wp-js-widgets/pull/10" rel="nofollow ugc">Post Collection widget</a>.
For an example integration with the Customize Posts plugin, see pending usage as the <a href="https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-posts/pull/189#issuecomment-241216247" rel="nofollow ugc">Post Parent control</a>.
