I like wpDiscuz and I’ve used it because it offers a much better commenting experience
than the default WordPress system, but the update frequency has become ridiculous.
Over the past few weeks, there's been update after update after update, sometimes
only a few days apart. At this point, it feels like every time I log into WordPress
there’s another wpDiscuz update waiting for me. If these were all critical security
fixes, I’d understand, but many of them appear to be bug fixes, tweaks, or fixes
for issues introduced by previous releases. That creates unnecessary maintenance
for site owners, especially since wpDiscuz recommends clearing caches and purging
CDN caches after updates. When you manage multiple WordPress sites like I do, this
gets old very quickly. I appreciate active development, and I’d much rather use 
a plugin that is maintained than one that has been abandoned. But there needs to
be a better balance. Non-critical fixes should be tested and bundled into fewer,
more substantial releases instead of pushing a new version every few days. The constant
update cycle has reached the point where I’m considering replacing an otherwise 
good plugin simply because I’m tired of maintaining it.

Day 2 I managed after a day and half to get rid of the "fill in the required fields"
message that popup for users wherether logged in or not, its the rich editor and
the name and email field that causes this issue. If I make the name field required
and the email optional and deactivate the rich editor on both desktip and mobile
then the message dissappear but now it creates 2 new issue. Star ratings are not
clickable and comment nesting for replies doesn't work eventhough the feature is
turned on in wp discussion tab. If you reply to a comment the comment gets posted
as an individual /standalone comment at the top of the comment section and not as
a nested reply. Honestly, I'm done struggling. I fix 1 thing and multiple other 
stuff breaks in your plugin! I'm now dropping star ratings because of the additional
issues that now arised. —— Day 1 The plugin is nice, especially the star ratings
but it's a nightmare to setup. The whole day I've tried to get the plugin not to
show "input too short" and "fill in the required fields" error messages. My input
is set to min 1 and unlimited to max so basically the default settings but it gives
the error of "input too short" so I changed it from 1 to 2 min and from unlimited
to 1000 max and finally the message stopped. But now it gives the "fill in the required
fields" error. I unticked the option in the wp discussion tab for users must fill
in their name and email before they can comment. Great. Now I disabled the required
field in the wpdiscuz default form field for name and email. It worked once. I closed
out of my site, opened it again and navigated to a post and tried to comment and
theres the "fill in the required fields" block, so I fill in the name eventhough
it's not required anymore and the email and hit the button and there's the message
again. There's nothing left to fill in. I changed the comment requirements to users
must be logged in, now the name and email boxes vanish but I still can't comment,
the same error message popup. I even went as far to disable everything in the wordpress
discussion tab, cleared the cache and cookies, logged in via incognito and my tablet
on another email and still get the same error message. I deactivated all my plugins
and still same message. I don't use jetpack so it can't be their comment form thing
causing conflicts. I switched from my kadence theme to the default twenty-five theme
and same error. It works once. There's no restrictions setup to how many times someone
can comment either. Guests that comment needs to fill out the name and email box
everytime they want to reply to a thread, aint filling it in once enough until they
leave the page? Only thing I want is for logged out users not to be able to comment
under the anonymous lable. I'm about to uninstall the plugin as I can't be bothered
to struggle this much with it. It's definitely not worth spending another day trying
to get rid of those messages. I'm not a developer, and before I spend money on hiring
one just to make a plugin work, I'd rather just not use it.

After an upgrade to php 8.3 the plugin broke my customer's website. It took some
discussions here at WP.org to convince the plugin's team to add more validations
into their code.But after they fixed it the PHP errors are gone. Thanks!

#### Comments – wpDiscuz v7.6.72 – 07.10.2026

 * Fixed: A comment whose image was refused for its width or height was saved anyway,
   and the error message was empty. The `wpdiscuz_mu_preupload` action now fires
   before the comment is saved, so a file it refuses stops the comment.
 * Fixed: The on/off switches on the settings page showed their state by color alone
   and could not be used from the keyboard. They now show a cross when off and a
   check mark when on, and can be reached with Tab and toggled with Space. Switches
   in addon settings tabs get the same fix.
