Comment Guestbook

The purpose of this plugin is to add a guestbook site which uses the wordpress integrated comments.

• Consistent styling of guestbook form and comment list for every theme you are using.
• All wordpress comment features are available for the guestbook comments also (e.g. E-Mail Notification, listing in “All Comments” on admin page,…)
• All plugins which are modifying the comment list or comment form will also work with Comment Guestbook automatically (e.g. a captcha plugin for antispam).

Other features and options:

• Setup comment form position (in page, above comment list, below comment list). You can also use more than one.
• Adjust the comment form (change texts, hide elements)
• Ajdust the comment order (newest first, oldest first)
• Option to show numbered pagination links for the comment list
• Ajdust the comment html-code for the guestbook page
