Any comment that exceeds the word limit will result in a red change in its count as the user types more words. If users try to post anyway, a warning dialogue will appear below the comment box stating the limit, and the comment will not post. Once the user edits the words that exceed the limit, the comment can be posted. User types are defined when a rule is created, allowing a rule to restrict a specific user type. Multiple rule types can be made if different rules are required. The plugin never restricts or limits the WordPress default user types Administrator, Editor, Author, and Contributor. If the blog administrator creates a rule for any of the three roles (Editor, Author, or Contributor) separately, that rule supersedes the default setting. Other user types that may appear in the user type dropdown do not default to WordPress and would require a rule to be created if limits are needed. This plugin also allows the blog administrator to limit the number of comments. The defined limit applies to each day, week, month, or year. Once the limit set by the selected time span is reached, an alert message explains why further comments are not allowed. The plugin settings allow you to disable the default WordPress flood protection notice, which blocks a user from quickly submitting successive posts and results in a 404 error. Additionally, a user is blocked by default from pasting the same comment, letter-for-letter, under any post. This can also be disabled. The latest addition enables activating a Comment Rules pop-up modal within the post. It can be deactivated in the settings, but is active by default. It appears in the top-left corner above the post’s comment box. You may create the rules to read however you wish in settings, but keep the text rules short, as in the sample text, or they will wrap and distort the appearance of the window. The plugin as a whole is straightforward, uses nearly no system resources, and is compatible with all tested blog add-ons loaded to the initial staging site. This includes membership platforms like Magic Members, MemberPress, Memberships Pro, Restrict Content Pro, LearnDash, S2Member and WooCommerce Memberships. Additionally, the plugin works with any other WordPress module that requires users to register before commenting. To clarify, for the plugin to track activity, a user must be registered and active. Logically, no plugin can monitor or limit unregistered anonymous comments. The plugin limits cannot control guests; only registered users can. As of **version 1.1.3**, you can now, from the metabox in each post, select the post to be exempt from the limit rules saved in the plugin’s settings. This has been a repeat feature request. As of **version 1.1.8**, an administrator can optionally enter a global value in the settings panel to limit the total number of comments allowed on all posts. If the field is left blank, WordPress’s default value is maintained. Notes: This plugin will not work with wpDiscuz where it uses its own hook and templates. If the limit is set to 2 comments in 24 hours, for example, and the moderator deletes one, the subscribers’ comments will now show that another comment remains. Previously, any comments in the trash within a limited time were counted against the subscriber. The plugin’s language support includes: English, Spanish, German, French, and Russian. ### Using in Multisite Installation 1. Extract the zip file contents in the wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation. (This is not created by default. You must create it in the wp-content folder.) The 'mu’ does not stand for multi-user, as it did for WPMU; it stands for 'must-use’, as any code placed in that folder will run without needing to be activated. 2. Access the Plugins settings panel named 'Limit Comments and Word Count’ under options. 3. Configure your settings with two different error messages and save the settings. ### Technical Details for Release 1.2.4 Load time: 0.311 s; Memory usage: 3.56 MiB PHP up to tested version: 8.3.28 MySQL up to tested version: 8.4.7 MariaDB up to tested version: 12.0.2 cURL up to tested version: 8.17.0, OpenSSL/3.6.0 PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 compliant.

The first thing is that I agree with the review by dannydanny; this doesn’t seem to give you the ability to limit posts by people who aren’t members. But that aside, the description of the Plugin was: „This plugin adds above the comment box an active letter counter, word counter, and comment counter, that provides a user constant visual access to their input activity”. I did not see ANY of those. (5.5.1– en_AU, Twenty Seventeen theme.) But what I DID see when the plugin was enabled was that the [Post Comment] control had completely vanished from the page. I’m guessing that it can still be seen by bots since the endless Russian spam postings have continued unabated, it was only humans who did not have access to the button. As soon as I disabled the plugin, the button came back. As soon as I reenabled the plugin, and refreshed the page, it vanished again. (I had windows open in Firefox, Chrome and Edge to check that this wasn’t a browser issue.) With the plug-in active, I couldn’t even see the button when I was logged on as an Admin. I have to again agree with dannydanny; if I give someone an account then it implies that I trust them to not abuse the privilege. THEY aren’t the people that I need to put limits on, and as far as I can see the plugin doesn’t give you the option of limiting non-members. That being the case, I would not have a need for this plugin, and will be uninstalling it once I post this. I didn’t rate it as 1 star out of malice, but the tool tip over 2 stars says „Works”… and if the [Post Comment] button isn’t even visible to an admin it’s really hard to say „it works”. Yes, it stops comments… but in my experience it stops ALL comments that aren’t done by spam bots, since the commenter has no way of posting the comment. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0644517f5727db18e60d42b2a7cb9b88797931d71f3c4176a927da396305617f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not Bad, Missing Important Features](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-bad-missing-important-features/)󠁿 [dannydanny](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dannydanny/) 2020-05-28 1 odpowiedź This plugin is great, but seems to lack the ability to limit comments for folks who are not registered users. For example, if someone comes along that is not a user of my site and wants to add a comment, I can’t limit those. And those are the most important to limit. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the plugin. Also, once you create a limit or a rule, the rules do not show so how can you possibly remember what you’ve done? It just says, „settings saved.” But it does not show that you have created a rule. So there is no way to see what rules you’ve imposed upon each user type. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f129b2ed65254119cbb07257d4e4ca782133999cec7aece89ee3595bb9d1a004? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[LOVE IT](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-2949/)󠁿 [classytech23](https://profiles.wordpress.org/classytech23/) 2020-03-12 This plugin is great at limiting comments on my blog; easy to setup!
