Title: Featured Comments Author: Syed Balkhi Published: January 12, 2010 Last modified: October 10, 2016 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/feature-comments.svg) # Featured Comments By [Syed Balkhi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/smub/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/feature-comments.1.2.6.zip) * [Details](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/feature-comments/#description) * [Reviews](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/feature-comments/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/feature-comments/#installation) * [Development](https://ssw.wordpress.org/plugins/feature-comments/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/feature-comments/) ## Description Lets the admin add “featured” or “buried” css class to selected comments. Handy to highlight comments that add value to your post. This plugin makes use of the meta_query option added in WordPress 3.5 to the WP_Comment_Query class, so it is no longer compatible with earlier versions of WordPress. Please report bugs and suggestions on [Github](https://github.com/pippinsplugins/Featured-Comments). ## Screenshots * [[ * Comment Edit Table * [[ * Single Comment Edit * [[ * Class added to comment, as seen on the frontend (screenshot shows source viewed in Firebug) ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload ‘feature-comments’ directory to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress All the options will be automatically added to the edit comments table, and single comment edit screen ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0d19c3943c7c85f17154d65934661a936f01e3134fb0da5b0eb97c1b36cc4a3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple but very Useful Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-but-very-useful-plugin-5/)󠁿 [Hadi Dastangoo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hadidastangoo/) October 18, 2021 Great for stylize special comments.
