This is a really cool plugin to get your blog community more engaged. I really hope the author continues to support this plugin!
Nice plugin, but lack of information after intalling
by Malae·8 years ago
On opening the plugins page it says: There are several options ..
On opening the Options page it shows 1 option with a check box: Delete settings when the plugin is deactivated.the rest of the page is blank.
Assuming that I had an installation problem, I went to the Support and found:
How to change settings for decent comments plugin.
and
There’s nothing on the Settings page?? What am I missing?
Both from more than 7 months ago and neither answered by the plugin author, but closed as resolved.
Fortunately one of the posts explained what to do: You drag the Decent Comments Widget on the Widget page.
Had there not been a note about several options and the distraction of the empty Options page, the solution would have been found without resorting to the Support page.
In compensation the plugin does what it is supposed to do and does it well.
Clarify the options issue and provide information about what to do after the initial set-up and I’ll give it 5 stars.
