The Final Word

This plugin is built for and requires O2 to be installed.

This plugin allows you to mark a selected comment as the one that effectively sums up the conversation from the thread. This is great for disucssions that require a final decision to be made, support threads where one comment has the best solution, and a host of other uses.

Functionality includes:

• Marking a chosen comment as the ‘top comment’
• The top comment is displayed at the top of the comment list with a ‘view in context’ anchor link
• The top comment is also highlighted in context in the thread
• Only one comment can be selected as the top comment
• The top comment flag can be removed
• Only users who are able to edit the post can select a top comment
• Includes basic styling for top comments
• ‘Top comment’ label can be translated and/or filtered

Will this work without O2?

No. In the future it might be updated to work with other themes, but O2 has such a specific way of handling comments that this won’t work elsewhere just yet.
