I used a lot of the comment plugins I found in this article, and to my surprise, they all worked with the new version of WP. (v2.3.3) I’m glad, though, that I read the full instructions for one particular plugin before installing it, because it won’t work if you have some of the other comment plugins I’ve used. I tend to use as many plugins as I can find, so have dealt with incompatibility issues in the past.

Incompatible Plugins

The following plugins cause issues with WP Ajax Edit Comments

* The Comment Luv Plugin (to my surprise, this plugin gives you and your commentors the ability to edit your comments, so the issue is resolved anyway!)
* Any plugin that posts comments via Ajax and doesn’t require a page reload. An example plugin is JQuery Ajax Comments.
* Any plugin that loads jQuery improperly without queuing it with WordPress.
* WP PostRatings on ISO-8859-1 blogs. Characters load and save incorrectly.
* Google Ajax Search

I’m currently using the Comment Luv plugin, and the article recommends using an Ajax powered edit plugin. I guess my point here is to make sure that you always read the entire list of features, details, and notes by the plugin authors. Doing this myself, I saved myself a huge headache.

I’m also using the following plugins to make my comment area more enticing for my surfers:

I still want to install these plugins:

I have to tear myself away from the computer for a while, but I’m pretty satisfied with all that I’ve learned today. I had to re-write a lot of the CSS in order to get all these plugins working the way I wanted them to!
