Description

Thrive Comments is a WordPress plugin that swaps out the standard comment form for a more interactive system. It adds upvotes, badges, featured comments, and social sharing, and it gives site owners reporting and moderation tools to manage the conversation.

Key Features

  • Upvotes and Likes – Readers can upvote or like comments, giving quieter visitors a simple way to weigh in.
  • Achievement Badges – Commenters can unlock badges as they take part, adding a sense of achievement to the discussion.
  • Featured Comments – Site owners can highlight selected comments, giving contributors visible validation.
  • Social Sharing – Commenters can share individual comments or the post itself on social networks.
  • Social Login Comments – Visitors can leave a comment using their social accounts instead of signing in separately.
  • Post-Comment Actions – After someone comments, you can redirect them to a URL, show related posts, prompt a share, or open a lightbox when combined with Thrive Leads.
  • Comment Reporting – Reports show visitor activity over time, your most active commenters, and which posts draw the most comments.
  • Moderation Dashboard – A dedicated dashboard sorts comments by criteria such as posts only, replies still needed, or a single page, with keyboard shortcuts for each action.

Who Is It For

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and bloggers who want their comment sections to do more than collect replies. It suits publishers and content teams that handle a high volume of comments and want engagement, sharing, and moderation in one place.
