Does exactly as required!
by Terrettgnome·1 year ago

Does exactly what it says. Very helpful! Thanks 🙂

Simple and effective
by i0n1ca·1 year ago

I have started using this plugin last year, since then everything was fine from my end but users that were not logged in they couldn’t edit their comment. In august I have opened a ticket to DLX Plugin from the menu inside the plugin page, we had different troubleshooting sessions and Ronald found the issue that was fixed with version 3.0.30

I would like to thank for his support and congratulate for this awesome plugin that make us life more easy. I recommend this plugin to everyone!

Enjoy.

Excellent plugin!
by Plácido Luna·2 years ago

Simple and very efficient.
Just only a question: I edited the .json file of the Spanish translation, but the texts modified there are not reflected when the plugin is run (The delete button, for example, keeps the text “Editar”, instead of “Borrar”).
Where’s the mistake?
Congratulations for the initiative.
Plácido.

Been looking for a plug-in like this for ages
by nudeworldorder·2 years ago·1 reply

I’ve wished there was a simple way for users to edit their comments just about as long as I’ve had a WordPress blog, but all the plug-ins I could find were way over-complicated (like replacing the entire comment system). This one on the other hand is just about perfect. The free version it does require users have accounts and log in, but other than that it does everything I could ask for.

Good Plugin, Lousy Support
by Rick Hellewell·3 years ago

The plugin works as advertised, but it’s editor shows HTML code, and not easy to edit comments.

And support appears almost non-existent. Those are the reasons for this 2-star rating.

I’ll be looking for an alternative – or maybe crafting my own.
