Version 1.4 · May 23, 2022 Latest

ImprovedUpdated all libraries to the latest version

What it does

Standard WordPress comments only accept plain text, which makes it hard for readers to share a photo of their result, a screenshot of a problem or a related video. This plugin places an image upload icon next to the Post Comment button, so commenters can attach a picture without leaving the form. It accepts common formats such as .jpg, .png and .gif, including images with transparency.

Videos are handled through oEmbed, the WordPress method for displaying content from trusted providers like YouTube and Vimeo. On the settings side, you can adjust thumbnail sizes and captions to match your site's look. The plugin is built to work with WordPress themes, displays well on phones and tablets, uses a lightweight JavaScript setup and supports multilingual sites, including those running WPML.
