Responding to comments left by readers is a critical part of watering your blog so it grows and keeps healthy. Out of the box, WordPress mostly sucks at this: you need to visit your own post and post a reply just as a visitor would do. How suboptimal and time wasting. What you want is the ability to reply to comments from within the same page as where you manage them. What you want is a real “Manage Comments” page.
Absolute Comments : comments as they were meant to be
A simple image being worth a thousand words, let me show you how such a “Manage Comments” page should be:
Absolute Comments : Features
This wonderful plugin will change your blogging life because :
- Effective integration
It is completely transparently integrated within WordPress. No extra page, just WordPress the way you wanted it to be. - Cute icons
Did you see all the tiny icons on the action links? How cute! (can turn them off if you don’t like them, of course). - Quick Reply
If you have mail notifications activated (ie you get a mail each time a comment is posted), the mail will contain a handy Quick Reply link to make things faster than ever.
- Comment Reply Prefill
When replying to Joe, do you always like to start your comment with “Joe »” or “@Joe:” ? Define an automatic pattern so you won’t have to type it everytime (the big animated screenshot above shows this feature) - Threaded Comments Support
Your blog runs whatever plugin to support threaded comments ? So does Absolute Comments - Translations
Nearly 20 languages! See below for thankful credits. The translation template file (.pot) is included, so anyone speaking something that’s not English and using poEdit is encouraged to share their words!
Limitations and troubleshooting
There are a couple of very minor limitations I thought you might need to now, if you haven’t guessed most already
- 2.5+ everywhere: current version if for WordPress 2.5+ and won’t work below. See below for older versions.
- Ajax everywhere: it obviously means you need to have Javascript enabled.
- Javascript everywhere: it means it will have to break some day or another due to the browser, another plugin conflicting, the KGB spying on you, or anything that might look like an excuse for Javascript not to run smoothly. This said, it was developed and tested in MSIE6 and Firefox with nothing but extreme pleasure.
In any case if things are not running as expected, please read the Troubleshooting guide.

I love this plugin, thank you for developing it!
Quick question: do you know if there’s a way to integrate Quick Reply with email? By this I mean, when I “quick reply” to someone in the Manage Comments section, is there a way for them to also get a copy of my response via email?
(If the email feature already covers this sorry for asking… I was a little confused about the email link actually….)
