Doodlebee

<p>Simple plugin to show/hide comment replies, rather than have them all listed.  An options page makes it really easy to change different parts of your comment calls.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>This keeps the default “<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_list_comments()</code></a>” features.  A clickable span that triggers the action to expand the replies is also added.</p>
<p>New features are including easing options, as well as allowing images. An options page has been added for further customizations, making it even easier to use.</p>
<h3>Other Info</h3>
<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<p>None at this time.</p>

<p>Given that this is free, I offer limited support. If you have issues with the plugin <em>working</em> I will do whatever I can to help you fix the issue, but when it comes to customization, I’m in limited supply.  I’ll do what I can, but no guarantees.  This is your standard “as is” application.  In all honesty, ask customization questions in the forums – if I can’t help, perhaps someone else can.  (If you want to hire me to customize it, that’s another story – feel free to contact me to do so!)</p>
<p>PLEASE NOTE that the WordPress support system DOES NOT notify me when someone leaves a support question.  It requires me to come back and check manually to see if anyone has had an issue.  Sometimes, I don’t get to do that for a while.  If you left a support request on the forums, and it’s been at least a week since you left it with no response, please drop me an email to let me know so I can attempt to help you out.  I’m pretty good at helping out – but I’m not so good at coming to check the forums – especially when I’m busy with client work.</p>
