You can submit bug reports or feature requests in the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/jnorell/comment-tweaks/issues). Patches are preferred as pull requests. ### Known Bugs & Compatibility You can check bug reports in the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/jnorell/comment-tweaks/issues) and check the [Changelog](https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-tweaks/#developers) for fixes. 1. Jetpack: if you have Jetpack’s comments module enabled, that is what you will get for entering comments, not the wp editor. ## Screenshots * [[ * WP editor enabled for comment field in twentynineteen theme. ## Installation #### WordPress Admin Go to the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress, click ‘Add New’, search for ‘Comment Tweaks’, and click ‘Install Now’ for the ‘Comment Tweaks’ plugin. Once installed, click ‘ Activate’. #### Plugin Upload An alternative to installing via the WordPress admin page is to upload the plugin to the WordPress installation on your web server. 1. Upload the plugin (the entire `comment-tweaks` directory and everything in it) to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Does Comment Tweaks work with Gutenberg enabled in WP 5.x? Yes. The editor added to comments will be the WP editor (quicktags and/or tinymce), not Gutenberg. ### I can’t find any settings for the plugin, are there any? Yes, the plugin settings are under Settings > Discussion > Comment Editing. Customizing the editor settings is possible using a filter, there is currently no settings page for this. ### How can I customize the WP editor settings? You can use the `comment_tweaks_editor_settings` filter to customize the appearance of WP editor. ``` array( 'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,bullist,numlist,aligncenter,blockquote,link,undo,redo', 'plugins' => 'charmap,colorpicker,hr,lists,paste,tabfocus,textcolor,fullscreen,wordpress,wpautoresize,wpeditimage,wpemoji,wpgallery,wplink,wptextpattern,media', 'relative_urls' => true, ), 'quicktags' => false, ); return $settings; }, 10, 2); ?> ``` ### Can I use the ‘Add Media’ button Yes, the ‘Add Media’ button can be enabled using custom settings for the WP editor, allowing site users to access media. ``` true, 'tinymce' => array( 'media_buttons' => true, 'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,bullist,numlist,aligncenter,blockquote,link,undo,redo', 'plugins' => 'charmap,colorpicker,hr,lists,paste,tabfocus,textcolor,fullscreen,wordpress,wpautoresize,wpeditimage,wpemoji,wpgallery,wplink,wptextpattern,media', 'relative_urls' => true, ), 'quicktags' => array( 'buttons' => 'strong,em,ul,ol,li,block,link,img,close', ), ); return $settings; }, 10, 2); ?> ``` ### Image captions display the [caption] shortcode Correct, enabling the ‘Add Media’ button allows users to add content and markup to the comments, but it does not change how that content is interpretted and displayed by your theme. You can alter comments display to process shortcodes, but **be very careful not to create a security vulnerability**. If anonymous users can add comments, and those comments are processed to execute shortcodes, you can easily allow anonymous users with many ways to abuse your site. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d41daaad5020a5f3760c8fcd092f5060c72f584e7007a3f31746083f3d752f56? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I realy love it.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-realy-love-it/)󠁿 [chienluong](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chienluong/) April 17, 2020 1 reply This plugin will be better if you can hook more functions.
