jQuery Comment Replies

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   it is the best one yet! It works the best by keeping all of those messy multi-level nested comments and replies nice in neat. I love the simple “show comments”, and “Hide comments” It works perfect! Other more advanced plugins can not seem to do what this simple plugin does. They all look messy where this plugin makes your conversations neat and easy to read/understand. I only wish that the original plugin author would come back here and keep this plugin up to date. It would be a shame if it stopped working in future releases.

   What a great plugin! The amount of times I’ve thought to myself, “if I could just hide all those damn replies so the page isn’t so messy”. Thanks @doodlebee, you rock!

   The plugin will work and do as says, but it’s heavy and doesn’t integrate well with all themes — it will alter your comment layout causing you to do a lot more styling just to get back to normal. I did a lot of research and found this. USE THIS METHOD INSTEAD. Works absolutely perfect and uses very little code. Integrates seamlessly. http://devgrow.com/simple-threaded-comments-with-jcollapsible/ Thanks!
