Ajaxify Comments hooks into your theme and improves the usability of the comment form by validating and adding comments without the need of page reloads. Users can remain on the page and interact with new comments as they’re posted. This plugin also supports lazy loading of comments, which can help speed up your page load time.
<h3>Introduction</h3>
When submitting the comment form, WordPress by default reloads the entire page. This can be a disorienting experience for the user. In the case of errors in the comment (invalid email, duplicate comment, empty comment), these often require a separate error screen and the user has to use the back button to edit their comment. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. Adding to that, comments can be resource intensive, and can slow down your page load time.
With Ajaxify Comments, comments are posted without a page reload. If there are errors, the error message is shown immediately, so the user can correct their comment.
Ajaxify Comments also comes with lazy loading of the comments section. For a page with a lot of comments, this can speed things up considerably. You can load comments when the DOM is ready or when the comment section is scrolled into view.
Moreover this plugin includes an option to automatically refresh the comments on the current page while the user stays on your page without requiring a page reload. This can be helpful in busy comment sections where reply response time is important.

Ajaxify Comments should be compatible with most block themes. If <a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/menu-helper" rel="nofollow ugc">Menu Helper</a> can’t find the selectors, please leave a support request.
<h3>Technical Note</h3>
Since the plugin hooks into the theme on client-side to intercept the comment form submit process, and to add new comments without reloading the page, the plugin needs to access the DOM nodes using jQuery selectors. The plugin comes with default values for these selectors that were successfully tested with WordPress’ default themes “Twenty Ten”, “Twenty Eleven”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Fourteen”, “Twenty Fifteen”, “Twenty Sixteen”. If required, the selectors can be customized to match your theme in the plugin’s settings.

Ajaxify Comments – Ajax and Lazy Loading Comments

This has always been a great plugin. It always worked just fine, even if weweave (the previous owners) stopped maintaining and developing it.

Since DLX plugins took over, it got even better

There’s been a lot of admin UI improvements, and Ronald has showed to be incredibly responsive to implement small additional features that can make life easier.

Sent him a feature request, and was incredibly glad to see that he also judged that it was a useful thing to implement. It took him less than 48h to push it live!

Just excellent

Ajaxify Comments speeds up your comment section, allowing for lazy loading comments, instant comment posting, and seamless success and error messages.

<h4>Live Data Display is a powerful WordPress plugin that loads JSON feeds via HTTP and displays live-updating values on your site — with no page reload required.</h4>
Perfect for live tickers, stock prices, sports results, weather data, sensor readings, and any other real-time data source.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Multiple independent slots: Configure as many data slots as you need, each with its own API URL, refresh interval, and display target.</li>
<li>Shortcode and Gutenberg block: Place data anywhere with <code>[araa slot="slot_1"]</code> or the built-in block.</li>
<li>Auto-refresh: Each slot refreshes independently at a configurable interval (minimum 500 ms).</li>
<li>Server-side initial value: For slots with a refresh interval ≥ 10 s the initial value is pre-rendered server-side and cached, so visitors see data immediately — no flash of empty content.</li>
<li>Proxy for cross-origin APIs: Optional server-side proxy (admin-ajax or REST API) fetches external URLs from the server, bypassing browser CORS restrictions.</li>
<li>Customisable GET parameters: Use <code>#GET_key#</code> placeholders in the API URL to pass the current page’s GET parameters to the remote API.</li>
<li>Prefix / Suffix: Wrap every displayed value with configurable text (e.g. currency symbol, unit).</li>
<li>Error text: Show a custom fallback message when the API request fails or the JSON path is not found.</li>
<li>Page-visibility aware: Slots pause polling while the browser tab is hidden and resume immediately when it becomes visible again.</li>
<li>Active / Inactive toggle: Enable or disable individual slots without deleting their configuration.</li>
<li>Built-in demo APIs: The plugin ships with six ready-to-use REST API endpoints that can serve as live data sources straight away — no external service needed. Each endpoint must be individually enabled under Settings → Live Data Display → API:
<ul>
<li><code>/wp-json/araa/v1/api/time</code> — current server time, date, weekday, and timezone</li>
<li><code>/wp-json/araa/v1/api/countdown</code> — seconds/days until a target date (<code>?to=YYYY-MM-DD</code>; defaults to next New Year)</li>
<li><code>/wp-json/araa/v1/api/random</code> — random integer within a configurable range (<code>?min=1&max=100</code>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Clean uninstall: All plugin data is removed on deletion (optional: keep settings).</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
<ol>
<li>Add a slot: Go to Settings → Live Data Display and create a slot.</li>
<li>Enter the API URL: Paste the JSON feed URL. Use <code>#GET_key#</code> for dynamic GET parameters.</li>
<li>Set the JSON path: Enter the dot-separated path to the value you need (e.g. <code>items.0.score</code>).</li>
<li>Choose a proxy method (only needed for external/cross-origin URLs): admin-ajax or REST API proxy.</li>
<li>Set the refresh interval: How often (in milliseconds) should the value be updated?</li>
<li>Place the output: Use the shortcode <code>[araa slot="slot_1"]</code>, the Gutenberg block, or a custom CSS/jQuery selector.</li>
<li>Optional: Add prefix, suffix, placeholder, error text, and an initial-hide selector.</li>
<li>Optional — enable REST API: To expose slot values via the plugin’s own REST API endpoints, go to Settings → Live Data Display → API and activate the feature. The endpoints are disabled by default.</li>
</ol>
