  3. These days free wordpress analytics not providing analytics so jetpack do

 

 

Cons:

  1. All In one Plugin high memory usage(Comments, stats,Social share, Security, lot of features as modules)

We can customize comment form

Changing Leave a reply & post a comment

to Custom message like Ask a a question.

Remove powered by wordpress.

Auto commenting system unable to find your websites by footprints.

3. by adding  captcha code system to comment form we can use it efficiently.

Customizing Native wordpress form

Add below code to theme functions.php or create a new custom plugin (i did upload soon)

//change text to leave a reply on comment form
function isa_comment_reform ($arg) {
$arg[‘title_reply’] = __(‘Ask Question:’);
return $arg;}
add_filter(‘comment_form_defaults’,’isa_comment_reform’);
//rename “Post Comment” button
function wpsites_change_comment_form_submit_label($arg) {
$arg[‘label_submit’] = ‘ENTER’;
return $arg;}
add_filter(‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘wpsites_change_comment_form_submit_label’);
//Remove Your email address will not be published
function change_up($fields) {
$fields[‘comment_notes_before’] = ‘<p class=”comment-notes”> </p>’;
return $fields;
}
add_filter(‘comment_form_defaults’,’change_up’);

//Disable HTML tags in Comments
function disable_html_in_comments(){
global $allowedtags;
$allowedtags = array();
}
disable_html_in_comments();

 

Cons:

No real time Commenting.

Its checks error after requesting to php, so the comment written previously may get loose.

What is Replytocom & How to Disable it

?replytocom

Indexes in google searches, it tells wordpress/post and wordpress/post?replytocom

as different to google.

so google its treats as duplicate as penalize until google inteligently knows as single page.

TO avoid this

add  replytocom to robots.txt

for better code any string starts with ? query string  has to block by robots.txt

So here is latest robots txt rules for wordpress

2nd way to disable replytocom by redirection

Add rules directly in htaccess, or disable reply to comment in wordpress discussion.

So users unable to reply the comments of another commenter. it should be there.

Bestway is blocking robots.txt.

yoast plugins also helps to disable replytocom.

 

Tip;  Use Disqus comment plugin.
