Belinda · 2 years ago

Hi-
I have installed this plugin with Wordpress 2x but when I reply to a comment, it doesn't show up at all...please advise--thanks!

Debo Hobo · 2 years ago

I am having the same issue.

ilan · 1 year ago

not working for me

monoros · 1 year ago

not working for me

kai · 2 years ago

great~

Arpit Jacob · 2 years ago

hey cool plugin man. How about making it Ajax based also the ability to edit the timestamp.

bob · 2 years ago

great idea

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Arpit,

Thanks for you suggestion, I would definitely incorporate this in the next release.

Thanks
Keith

Nirmal · 2 years ago

Hey nice plug-in, will definitely use it. I was actually searching for a plugin which can comment from the admin panel. Thanks again

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Nirmal,

Glad you liked it, I am using the same plugin to reply to your right now.

Cheers
Keith

Ajay · 2 years ago

Great job on the plugin! This is definitely one must have... just a suggestion, if you can hit the reply button and load the form on the same page instead of a new page, then it will be cooler :)

Geeko · 2 years ago

just testing the reply.

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Ajay,

Glad you liked the plugin, Yes I will be releasing a update on this sometime mid week which will allow you to reply from within the page itself.

Thanks
Keith

Dan · 2 years ago

Nice...

Best Airmiles Deals · 2 years ago

I've been looking for a plugin like this! Thanks so much!

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Best Airmiles,

Glad you like the plugin

Keith

jester · 2 years ago

I have been looking for something like this forever! Thanks for building it...

I do have an error code that generates when I submit a comment from your reply screen. The comment gets saved and appears correctly on the site but the error pops up and does not send me back to the comments screen.

Here's the error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jester/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/jester/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Any ideas?

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Jester,

Thanks for the bug info, I will look into it and fix it, could you please let me know the version of WP you are using and the browser and OS too. It would help me a lot in solving this.

Thanks
Keith

jester · 2 years ago

Hey Keith, I'm running wordpress 2.1.2 on a hosted server that uses cpanel. Browser is firefox 2.0.0.3 on Mac 10.4.9 .

Thanks for looking into it.

alldoneup · 2 years ago

cool, just testing

keith · 2 years ago

Thanks for the information. I will try and fix this issue ASAP, I am releasing a newer version this week, which is much more powerful and integrates with another nifty comments plugin.

The bugs are my priority though and will fix it before i release the next version.

Keith

Jim · 2 years ago

This is a really slick plugin. I like it very much.

I'm getting the same error jester is. I'm using WP 2.1.3 on the same type of server (Bluehost, if it matters) with PHP 4.4.4. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows XP.

keith · 2 years ago

HI Technobites,

Thanks for the link back.

Keith

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Jim,

Glad you liked the plugin, I am working on fixing the bugs and adding new features, should be released this weekend.

Thanks
Keith

keith · 2 years ago

Hi planetOzh,

Thanks for featuring me this as the plugin of the month.

Keith

Sumesh · 2 years ago

Too many plugins would slow down the blog, ya' know!

Patrix · 2 years ago

A much-needed plugin. Thanks.

I got the same error as Jester although it works fine.

Arunn · 2 years ago

great plug-in. works fine without any bugs at my blog.

great job!

keith · 2 years ago

@Arunn - Thanks I am glad you liked it

@Patrix - Just hold on for I am releasing a ajax version for this plugin, you should love it and i think that error should disappear.

Thanks
Keith

Rasmus · 2 years ago

I really don't have anything new to add. I just want to say thank you for writing this plugin. It's brilliant :)

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Rasmus,

Am so glad you liked this plugin, thanks for the compliment.

Keith

Patrix · 2 years ago

No problemo. Will await the AJAX version and then mention it on my blog. Thanks again.

Frilo · 2 years ago

Hi Keith,

I have the same problem as Jester's. Any idea how to solve it ?

Thanks for the plugin anyway.

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Frilo,

Have solved the problem, releasing a new version in next few minutes.

Keith

Matt · 2 years ago

Thank you for the plugin, it's just what I've been waiting for ! :)

Kristoffer Forsgren · 2 years ago

This is one nifty little plugin!

Installed it as soon as I read about it, already loving it... Great job! =)

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Kristoffer,

Glad you liked it, I have added a ajax feature to this plugin now.

Keith

Jim · 2 years ago

I think you need to update your changelog and version number then, Keith. ;)

Jim · 2 years ago

BTW - the AJAX reply is tight. Exactly the little adjustment that makes this plugin a must-have for every WordPress installation.

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Jim,

Glad you liked it, I have updated the changelog and version and released it at

http://techie-buzz.com/wordpress-plugins/better...

Do visit there to see the entire features.

Keith

jez · 2 years ago

hey, interesting approach, defiantly got to check it out next weekend!
btw. your "else wheres" are broken. they display a "0".

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Jez,

Glad you liked it :).

Thanks for letting me know about the else wheres will fix it shortly

Keith

Matt · 2 years ago

Love the AJAX update ! Thank you.

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Matt, My pleasure :)

Rolando · 2 years ago

It installed without any problem, but when I went to the Better Comment option page, it did not load for some reason. Weird.

I'm on WP 2.2 using a custom theme.

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Rolando,

Thanks for letting me know. Can you let me know a little more about the error, does it have show just the blank screen?

Could you also tell me the Browser version and OS you are using.

Keith

Lanooz · 2 years ago

Since I had updated my wordpress to 2.2 this plugin is out of order. Most people got a problem with it in wordpress 2.2. So..it will be great, if you update this awesome plugin :)

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Lanooz,

Can you tell me the problems you are facing with WP2.2 I will definitely try and fix them.

Keith

Lanooz · 2 years ago

Instead of showing me a comment that I posted via this plugin it's breaking up this whole page. And the error 404 appearing in the part of admin panel.

Here's the screenshot

click

Yes, this page that is appearing that's the error 404.

(and in default: click)

And of course, it doesn't post any comment.

Regards,

Lanooz.

Lanooz · 2 years ago

Ouch. Ignore that first paragraph in this comment above, sorry :)

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Lanooz,

Thanks for letting me know about the problem.

I can see that you are using a customized theme for the admin, I haven't tested it with customized themes yet. But will do it now.

Can you please give me more details about which wordpress version you are using, the customized theme etc.

Keith

Lanooz · 2 years ago

Newest wordpress version - 2.2
And SpotMilk theme for admin panel.
I think that's all..?
If there are other things that you would like to know, just tell.

Jaypee · 2 years ago

I'm running WP 2.2 and using the Spotmilk Admin theme and I have no problem with this plugin. There could another plugin that's causing a conflict.

Btw, great job with the plugin Keith! I like this plugin so much and I just did a review for it here :D

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Jaypee,

Thanks for the review, I am glad you liked it.
Have a few more features I want to add hope to do it soon, just caught up with work so could not implement it yet.

Keith

lilian · 2 years ago

Hi Keith
Awesome plugin! I use it for two of my sites. One is working but the other is not. I get this message:

Your comment is rejected as your browser's agent string has changed since you viewed this post.

Hmmm...I can't figure out why. I am using a modified theme though.

Lilian aka 5xmom

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Lilian,

Glad you liked it. I will have a look at the problem you are facing so that I would be able to help you out.

I will definitely fix this in the next version if I can find out the problem

Keith

Jaypee · 2 years ago

@Keith - You're welcome! Looking forward to the upcoming features for this great plugin. More power! :)

Lanooz · 2 years ago

That's strange. Maybe Japee is right, i could be some plugin fault.
So i will check soon.

Manas · 2 years ago

Thanks for the plugin ... :)

keith · 2 years ago

Glad you like it Manas

Kris Cain · 2 years ago

Great plugin. I will be using this on a couple of sites. I have one question though which was not clear (or I could just be slow ;)). Does this plugin automatically notify the person via email that there is a reply or do they have to check that box for followup?

Thanks!

keith · 2 years ago

Hey Kris,

Nice question, I have not yet really checked or tested that out, but will definitely do that now and let you know.

Keith

Mike · 2 years ago

Quick question.

How did you get that "Spam protection: Sum of @+@?" in the comments section? I'd like to do that instead of using AuthImage.

Thx, Mike.

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Mike,

I am using a wordpress plugin called Math Comment Spam Protection to do that.

Keith

cubanresourceful · 2 years ago

Ok, I am wondering, maybe error on my part, but I dunno. When I enable plug-in, not only do I get Better Comment Manager in the Comments tab, but also after the Options tab. Why is this?

keith · 2 years ago

Hi cuban its is not a error it is a feature to make the better comments manager easily accesible

cyt · 2 years ago

I got the following error after activated the plugin:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_enqueue_script() in /home/cytjulia/www/blog/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/better-comments-manager/bcm-edit-comments.php on line 6

any idea what's wrong? thx a lot

keith · 2 years ago

Hi cyt,

Can you please uninstall and reinstall the plugin once again. If the error does not go away I will help you to resolve the issue.

Keith

cyt · 2 years ago

thanks Keith,

i reinstalled the plugin many times last night but the problem still exists, would you please help to check what's wrong with the plugin?thanksthanksthanks~~~~

Ronald Huereca · 2 years ago

cyt,

What version of WordPress are you using? wp_enqueue_script only works on recent versions of WP (2.1+) I believe.

keith · 2 years ago

Thanks for the info Ronald, definitely help to fix the issue.

chase · 2 years ago

I have the same error as well but I am using wordpress 2.0.10

teodora · 2 years ago

tried 1.2 and 1.3 with my 2.01 WP but always get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_enqueue_script() in /.../bcm-edit-comments.php on line 6

:(( any idea why? I'd really need it!

teodora · 2 years ago

hi. i updated WP to 2.2.1 and now it works. It didnt work on 2.0.x somehow.

Thilak · 2 years ago

This plugin is a real life saver, can't imagine replying to comments without this plugin. Folks from Wordpress should certainly add this feature right into Wordpress.

keith · 2 years ago

Glad you liked it Thilak. Yes this feature should defnitely be in the core wordpress

Frank · 2 years ago

Hello, very nice plugin.

i think, it is better, when you change the link to js-library in bcm-edit-comments.php. Then is it not essential, load the own js-library in plugin-folder. WordPress has the librarys in the folder wp-includes/js/ .


<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/effects.js"></script>

with best regards
Frank

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Frank,

Yes i will be changing that soon. I was unaware of this feature earlier but you learn as you start doing things so will definitely do that.

Keith

Ali · 2 years ago

what a wonderful plugin!

keith · 2 years ago

@Nirmal Thanks

@Mr Byte Thanks am glad it saves you a lot of time

@Shankar -Yes its for me too, I upgraded my blog using this itself

Chris · 2 years ago

Amazing plugin. There are only 2 suggestions I have:

1. Remove the top-level menu and replace the old comments page with the "better" one (why have 2?).

2. Integrate with comment e-mail responder.

Great work!

keith · 2 years ago

Glad you liked it. About suggestion 1, I had got lots of requests so that the plugin was easily accesible.

And 2 I will definitely work and release it with the next version.

JosÃ© LuÃs · 1 year ago

Great plugin, thanks!
About 2: is this plugin integrated with comment e-mail responder already? If not, is there an E.T.A.?

Val · 2 years ago

I adore the concept of this plugin, but perhaps I either a) did something wrong, or b) I'm not using it properly. I was under the impression that this plugin would add the replies directly below the original comment ... right now, it posts my replies at the bottom of the page, which isn't very useful for me. Am I doing something wrong?

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Val,

This plugin on its own does not show the comments below the replying comment. You can at anytime use Brian's Threaded Comments and it will automatically switch to that view when you use the threaded reply to reply to a comment.

enkysteady · 2 years ago

Got this error code while try to access to better comments manager panel:Fatal error: Call to undefined function: attribute_escape() in /home/enky/domains/regins.cn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/better-comments-manager/bcm-edit-comments.php on line 12â€œ

Don't know why... Can you help me out?

Nick · 2 years ago

Fantastic plugin! Thank God for people like you who share their talents with the rest of the world. I will be using the Better Comments Manager every day. I found this through Darren Rowse's ProBlogger Tips article 5 Comment Management Plugins for Wordpress.

keith · 2 years ago

Thanks nick that you liked it

keith · 2 years ago

Glad that you liked it Nick.

Jermayn Parker · 2 years ago

Thank you for this plugin mate, heard about if from Pro Blogger and am trying it now :)

keith · 2 years ago

Jremayn its my pleasure

Transcriptionist · 2 years ago

Thanx Keith for this great plugin, thanx Darren for blogging it. I was in search of a plugin like this one for a long time but unluckily, it is not working for me. I'm on WP 2.0.2. It is just giving a blank "better comments manager" screen.

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Transcriptionist,

Thanks for pointing that out to me I will try and fix that error and update the plugin shortly.

Keith

Transcriptionist · 2 years ago

Keith,

Found a similar plugin at digitalramble.com but fell in love with "better comments manager plugin." Awaiting eagerly for you to come out with a fix.

Derek Wong · 2 years ago

I really like this plugin, but I wanted to ask/let you know that I noticed something in the latest release (1.3). When replying to a comment and manually inputting the html for a link (using the complete anchor link, text, etc), it seems to affect the creation of the first javascript link (the edit link). For some reason, it seems to choke on the addslashes function call in bcm-edit-comments.php line 175. It correctly creates the link with the comment content up until the href in the anchor tag, but then improperly outputs all subsequent comment text.

I only looked at it briefly, but I'll try to look some more and let you know.

Let me know if this is known and/or anything that I can do to help. Thanks again!

subcorpus · 2 years ago

this looks like a good plugin ...
installing now ...
will check back if i run into any troubles and need help ... hehe ...
thanks for sharing ...
appreciated ...

Larry · 2 years ago

I'm using Better Comments Manager version 1.3 and I'm having problems when I use html within the comment. Any comment that has html in it, like a link, I can no longer edit the comment with the Better Comments Manager. Here is an example of what I'm getting on the line where the date and time should be displayed:

Sep 8, 12:25 PM â€” [ board minutes. I see that two people on the board that voted against rule changes are up for reelection. Please let your votes reflect how you feel about this issue.

Sherry · 2 years ago

Thank you for this wonderful Plugin of WP!
I followed the steps and activate the plugin, but the [Reply] button doesn't work at all and there came out a "Better Comment Manager" Tab along with Dashboard, Write, Manage and other tabs....

Any information or assistance will be very much appreciated!!

Thank you!!

Hi. I am having a problem with the reply button. When I reply and enter the reply the screen goes blank and say preview true. Did I forget to do something? I have 1.3 version and WP 2.1.2 Thanks for your help. anna www.green-talk.com

keith · 2 years ago

@Anna upgrade to the latest version 1.4 in that I have fixed the bugs and you should be able to reply properly.

JerkyBeef · 2 years ago

I'm having issues with the new WP2.3 and v1.4 any suggestions?

Ã‰rico Oliveira · 2 years ago

I would like to know if the new version (1.4) is compatible with Wordpress 2.3. Thanks.

keith · 2 years ago

It should work fine on 2.3 now, there may be some issues but once I know what they it should work fine. You will get a status to upgrade in your plugins page so that you can upgrade to the latest version hence forth.

John P. · 2 years ago

version 1.4 has a bug in b-c-m.php. Lines 111 and 115 refer to undefined functions. Change 'wpau' to 'bcm' and it should work.

HighTechDad · 2 years ago

I would really like like to say that I love your plugin. It seems that it will offer lots of help to me, once I get an issue worked out. I also use a plugin called "Recaptcha" (which is pretty neat actually - I have written about it here: http://tinyurl.com/ytw8l6 ).

So, Recaptch is a comment spam protection that is visible on my post pages. But, when I use your plugin and try to make a comment, it gets blocked by Recaptcha (saying that I didn't put in the correct info).

So, is there a way to bypass spam protection within your plugin or can you point to a place in the code where I can put in the recaptcha code so that I can enter in the words allowing me to post?

Can't wait to try your plugin!

-HTD

keith · 2 years ago

HighTechDad I am not sure how to help you but will try out the plugin in the combination with re-captcha and fixed the bugs if any

Stephen Hopson · 2 years ago

Is the "Better Comments" plug-in compatible with WP version 2.3?? I am asking because it was not listed on the official WP plug-in compatibility list for version 2.3

Please advise.

Stephen Hopson

keith · 2 years ago

Hi Stephen,

Yes it is compatible with WP 2.3

Keith

Gio · 2 years ago

I'm using this plugin with WP 2.3 but the search feature doesn't show any results? Also, is the Better Comments Manager tabs supposed to appear twice? It is display at the top level nagivation and comments area?

Anna · 1 year ago

I am having problems with the recaptcha plug in and this plug in. I can reply but it never shows up. So I contacted recaptcha and they gave me this work around but since I am php challenged and have no idea how to patch anything, I will give everyone the link and hope they know what to do.

I am afraid if I manually add and delete I will mess things up

I did ask for advice and will post what they tell me.

Here was the link:

http://www.coolfactor.org/~gavan/recaptcha.diff.

Any advice?

R&B Junkie · 1 year ago

Hey! I've a question, what kind of plugin do you use to make threded comments like this ?! Could you please let me know per mail?!

Thx For This Pluginn

Samuel · 1 year ago

Hi Keith!

Thanks for your great plugin!

Are you planning to add locale support (for translating into another languages) for the next version?.

It will be great!

In fact, I'm planning to make a spanish translation for the current version, but I'll not like to make it all over again when new version of BCM gets published :(

JTPratt's Blogging Mistakes · 1 year ago

I always thought it was quite the pain to reply to comments and wondered why that ability wasn't natively in the WP dashboard. Thanks a lot for this very needed plugin!

J · 1 year ago

I use wordpress 2.3 and the latest better comments manager (1.5.1). Whenever I try to reply from the admin panel I get a blank page or go back to the normal comments link. I can do just fine using Minefield (firefox for leopard) but I'm having problems using this with Safari. Do you know how I can fix this?

zoso · 1 year ago

if you got time, please do ajax on wordpress 2.5. thank you.

Keith Dsouza · 1 year ago

Hey zoso sorry did not get what you meant, can you please elaborate a bit more on this.

zoso · 1 year ago

in wp 2.5beta the ajax functions are disabled for BCM

Keith Dsouza · 1 year ago

Hey zoso,

I tested the plugin in WP2.5 and it worked fine, I will check with other users though if they are facing any issues.

Thanks for the heads up though if there is any issue I will release a update shortly.

Lomes · 1 year ago

I'm just about to implement this in 2.5 so hopefully the issue gets resolved (if there IS an issue).

One thing I've read is that some plugins will work if they were in a 2.3 installation that is upgraded to 2.5, but not in a vanilla 2.5 install. Something to do with the initial config when you enable the plugin...

Not sure if that's where the poster having issues is coming from, but might be helpful. Hope to see official 2.5 support soon!

Beth · 1 year ago

I just upgraded from 2.3 to 2.5 on my test d/b, and BCM worked fine! :D

Erum · 1 year ago

Testing plugin. Thanks!

Bradford · 1 year ago

I'm trying to use Better Comments Manager, but cannot seem to reply to the comments. My error console says that buildReplyForm is not defined. Tested in FireFox and IE. Any thoughts as to what may be causing this? Thanks!

Hannelore · 1 year ago

Hi, I have tried this plugin, but it does not work with the headpace2 plugin (its not possible to drag and drop the modules).

Thanks anyway!

lisa · 1 year ago

Hi there-
I am hoping you can help me. I just downloaded the plugin...but it says 'no posts match criteria.'
Recently i imported my blog over from wp.com. All my comments are there in the admin 'comments' menu, but NONE are listed on any posts. DO you know how i can fix this and what is causing it? I believe this is why the plug in isnt working yet for me.
Thanks so much!

Ari Herzog · 1 year ago

I've used this plugin for several weeks, works excellent! I recently upgraded from WP 2.5 to 2.7, and while I don't see any problems, I was wondering if you were planning on releasing an update and/or could verify it works with 2.7?

Thanks!

Psychedelic · 11 months ago

thanks good

şubesi · 11 months ago

I can’t think of an easy way to do that generically, especially given that Wordpress Hashcash can’t whitelist anything, only banlist things it thinks are bad. It would be possible to add this as a special option, though, to drop failing comments into akismet and let it sort it out…

tayland · 11 months ago

I have installed and try. Great plugin thank you.

PCGazete · 11 months ago

Thanks for the plugin :)

yulius · 10 months ago

great plug in, i need this for my wp blog

evden eve · 10 months ago

I want to use it - but I have a problem. I secured the /wp-admin/ with a htaccess pass. So I need to enter a pass before I get to the admin-login.

Fine, BUT if I use the Plugin given by you, I need to enter the pass too, but my users of course do not know the pass. How can I get rid of this problem? Any help appreciated.

Daniel · 10 months ago

not working for me
I am using wp 2.71
