Reviews

Great for making Internet being alive

Hypothesis is one of those technologies that understand what the web is all about. This plugin for Wordpress makes easy for everyone to get to know the project. It works neat. Thanks!

Great tool for peer review

suchurchill June 4, 2019

Although this plugin appears not to have been updated, it’s because it’s simple code still works efficiently and well. This is a great tool for group annotation and public peer review, and the technical support from Hypothes.is is top notch! Great plugin created and maintained by great people!

Simple, but effective

Nate Angell July 13, 2018

While it’s relatively easy to add open-source, standards-based Hypothesis annotation to any website by adding just a line of code, this plugin makes it even easier and enables some basic configuration controls such as limiting annotation to just post or page types, excluding annotation on the home page, blog page, or specific posts/pages, highlights on by default, sidebar open by default, etc. I agree it would be nice if the plugin supported custom content types beyond WP’s standard pages and posts.

Convenient and easy installation

jpolka March 3, 2018

Very simple to install, and I appreciate the options to customize when the sidebar is displayed! One thing I’d love to request are shortcodes to open the sidebar, akin to the “Annotations” buttons eLife has implemented (example here: https://elifesciences.org/articles/33220) This would help make the tool and any existing annotations more visible.

Great plugin

trevorNanders September 3, 2016

Works perfectly. No problems installing it. interface and integration are great. The only Decent annotator plugin available IMO. One thing that would make it perfect: allowing full integration in the wordpress install with annotations stored in the database and users being able to annotate once logged in to the wordpress powered website. This is the only real downside that each user/visitor to my website has to register and login to hypothes.is in order to see and use the feature. Still, a fantastic plugin.

Fantastic idea,

kokdemir September 3, 2016

That is a fantastic idea, I wish there were to be a wp user integration that syncs with hypotesis database. This is a great feature for membership sites!
