Absolute Comments: Comment Manager with Instant Reply

Absolute Comments allows you to reply to comments right from the email notification. It also automatically fills the reply with the commenter's name (so if you reply to Joe, your comment will be prefilled with "Joe » " for your convenience)

Absolute Comments

There's no setup, no setting. Just upload, activate and forget.

Download Absolute Comments

This plugin is for WordPress 3.1+.

Download the plugin :
ozh-absolute-comments.zip
Extract and upload to your blog, preserving directory structure if any.

Older version

Absolute Comments used to be a feature packed plugin, back in the WordPress 2.x days. WordPress 2.7 implemented most of these much needed features (reply to comments from the Edit Comments page, those stuff you don't even believe weren't always part of WordPress). Older versions are still available but totally unsupported, obviously.

If you like this plugin and you feel it enhances your blogging and community managing experiences, please make my day and simply blog about it to let your readers know about it. They might like it too:)

    Thank you very much for the support! Everything is fine now.

    Cool idea. I finally got around to trying it and I like it. It would cool if the features of this plugin and the WP Ajax Edit Comments plugin by Ronald Huereca were merged into one.

    Hello,

    Thanks for providing such a great plugin. I'm wondering if there is any known conflict with the WP-Spam Free or Subscribe To Comments plugins. Those are the only two I have installed that seem like they would conflict.

    What happens is this: after I click "reply" from an email or the comments page, write the comment, and hit "submit", I am transferred to a blank white screen. No error messages, just a blank browser screen (and the comment has not been posted).

    What's strange is that it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.
