Frequently Asked Questions

You mention native comments as a feature. Why is that important?

Supporting native WordPress comments instead of third-party solutions offers several long-term benefits:

Customization and Flexibility: Native comments offer greater flexibility for customization, allowing you to tailor the comment system to fit your specific needs and enhance user engagement without being restricted by third-party features or limitations.

Seamless Integration: Native comments are built into WordPress, ensuring compatibility with themes and plugins without the need for additional integrations or custom coding.

Performance and Security: Native comments are managed within your WordPress ecosystem, reducing reliance on external services that could impact site performance and introduce security vulnerabilities.

Data Ownership: By using native comments, you maintain full control over your data, ensuring that user interactions and content remain on your site and are not subject to third-party policies or potential data breaches.

Will lazy loading my comments negatively impact SEO?

Google and other search engines will still be able to index your lazy-loaded content as long as it is visible by the time the user reaches the comment section in the viewport.

To ensure that Google sees all content on your page, make sure that your lazy-loading implementation loads all relevant content whenever it is visible in the viewport. Source.

With the ability to set custom triggers and scroll offsets, you have the tools to ensure your comments are an SEO benefit to your site.

Are the overlay messages required, or can I hide them?

There are some early plans to add inline error messages, but for now, the best way to alert the user is via an overlay.

Does the plugin work with WPML?

Yes, it does. We even have a guide on WPML integration.

Does this plugin work like wpDiscuz?

Tools like wpDiscuz take over the entire comment section, and as a result, you are constrained within that ecosystem. Ajaxify Comments works with your native comments and does not do a complete take-over.

Does this plugin work with BuddyPress?

No, it does not.

Does this plugin work with WooCommerce reviews?

Yes, absolutely.
