FAQ

Is Hyvor Talk free?

Hyvor Talk is a paid service with generous tiers for small websites. The WordPress plugin is free to install. After installing, connect it to your Hyvor Talk website, which you can create at Hyvor Talk Console. See our pricing for more details. We offer a 14-day free trial.

How can I get support?

You can contact us via live chat on our website (https://talk.hyvor.com) or email us at [email protected]. If you have an issue with the WordPress plugin, you can create an issue on GitHub.

What does “privacy-focused” mean?

Integrating third-party JavaScript snippets into websites is common but can impact privacy by giving these services access to user data, which is often sold to advertisers. Our privacy-first approach is different: we don’t track, profile, or sell user data. We only collect minimal data needed for our service and charge a transparent fee, avoiding reliance on ads or data monetization.

Where is data saved?

Your website’s data (comments, etc.) is saved in our secure servers located in Germany.

What happens if I deactivate Hyvor Talk plugin on my website?

You will no longer see the embeds on your website. You can reactivate the plugin at any time to get them back without losing any data.

How can I customize the plugin?

Our plugin itself is pluggable. It exposes multiple hooks that you can use to customize it. See hooks docs for more details.

Exciting

kenwosu August 14, 2022

Very wonderful to see Hyvortalk providing support for Wordpress. Please liaise with Wordpress content creators on Youtube etc to get the word out about Hyvortalk so that we can get a rich community going here. You have a killer feature: the ability to collapse nested replies. This already puts you years ahead of most other commenting systems on Wordpress.
