Description
wpDiscuz Private Comments is an add-on for the wpDiscuz commenting plugin. It lets commenters mark comments as private so a thread is visible only to its author, moderators and administrators. Site owners can control which roles may create or moderate private comments.
Key Features
- Private comment threads – Commenters can turn a comment into a private thread that stays hidden from other visitors.
- Private submit button – A small button beside the submit button marks the comment as private before it is posted.
- Make thread private – A [private] button on a parent comment turns the whole thread private after it has been submitted.
- Role permissions – You choose which user roles are allowed to set comments as private.
- Private comment moderators – You can assign moderation of private comments to specific user roles.
- Per-form control – The private comment option can be switched on or off for individual comment forms and post types.
- Moderator email alerts – Moderators receive an email when a new private comment is posted, with editable subject and body text.
Who Is It For
This add-on is for WordPress sites already using the wpDiscuz commenting plugin, especially those that need confidential discussion inside comments, such as support requests or sensitive feedback. It suits site owners who want to decide which user roles can post or moderate private comments.
