But support is unresponsive.
It breaks the Moderation notice. The user just gets sent back to the main page and they don’t know if their comment submitted or not. In my analytics, it states that there is a javascript error, so that needs to be fixed.
It also breaks the built in discussion settings of breaking the comments into groups, and the feature of clicking “next” to get the next batch
Other than that it works. Simple plugin without options.
Great plugin, works fine. I just hope it always gets updated. Keep up the great work!
