Plugin Description

Comment Validator can be used to ensure comments pass certain rules before a comment can be submitted:

  • Checks comment to ensure they are longer than the minimum, shorter than the maximum and also allows comments to be forced into moderation based on length.
  • A honey pot field can be enabled which, if set, will prevent comment submission.
  • A delay on the time taken between page load and comment submission can be enforced; the number of seconds is configurable.

This plugin is multisite compatible; each site can be set to use network settings or locally defined ones.

  • Download the latest release of the plugin from GitHub.
  • Upload the entire zip file using the Plugins upload function in your ClassicPress admin panel.
  • Activate the plugin.
  • Configure relevant settings via the configuration page in the admin control panel (azurecurve menu).
