WP Wall

Description

WP Wall is a “Wall” widget that appears in your blog’s sidebar acting as a cool shoutbox for your visitors.

The comment will appear in the sidebar immediately, without reloading the page.

All comments are internally handled by WordPress so that means you have normal comment moderation, SPAM protection and new comment notification.

WP Wall is fully customizable with a CSS file and included graphics.

WP Wall features:
* Global commenting “Wall”
* Comments are handled entirely by WordPress
* RSS Feed for the Wall
* Smilies
* Instant delete for admin
* Option to display HTML and make links clickable
* Navigation through pages
* Interactive Wall: It can automatically refresh turning into a chat

Plugin by Vladimir Prelovac. Also check out ManageWP.

Nice WP Add-On So Blog Non-Members Can Still Participate

Bill Kochman September 3, 2016

In this day and age of heightened sensitivity to the compromise of personal data and privacy on the Internet, a lot of people do not feel comfortable with providing their personal details when visiting a message forum, blog or other environment where public exchanges occur. In short, folks just don’t want to register, because they honestly don’t know what will happen to their personal data after they provide it. Will it be sold? Will they suddenly begin receiving piles of email spam? Or worse? Obviously, this can have a negative influence on the number of actual registered members that you have on your WP blog. But wouldn’t it be nice if your WP blog visitors could at least let you know through a comment that they stopped by, without having to go through the hassle of actually registering on your blog? Enter the WP Wall plug-in. While you can force them to leave an email address if you want to, you can let them post on your WP Wall without becoming a registered member of your blog, without submitting themselves to a CAPTCHA, and without leaving an email address. According to the author of this plug-in — Vladimir — you will still have protection from anti-spam plug-ins, such as Akismet, being as WP Wall comments are stored in the regular comments section on your blog. Oh, also, unlike some of Vladimir’s more expensive commercial plug-ins, this plug-in is free. So that is a plus. The only reason why I gave this plug-in four stars instead of five, is because I discovered a few small bugs in the CSS interface.
