New Plugin Alert!
Default WordPress comments appearing at the bottom of a post often make conversations unclear, especially when readers want to respond to a specific sentence or paragraph.
Developed by Multidots, Front Inline Comments is aimed at making WordPress post conversation more focused. The plugin allows users to comment directly on the text they are referring to.
Readers can highlight any part of your content and leave feedback exactly where it matters. This makes discussions clearer, more useful, and easier to follow.

What the Front Inline Comments Plugin Does
With default WordPress comments, feedback is usually general. Readers often say things like "Great post" or ask questions without pointing to the exact part they mean.
Front Inline Comments change this experience by adding inline commenting to WordPress content.
Instead of scrolling down to the comment section, users can select text inside the content and add their thoughts right there. Each comment stays connected to the highlighted text, so context is never lost.
When users can comment on specific sentences, the conversation becomes more focused. Writers understand feedback better, readers feel heard, and discussions feel more natural.
Enhanced Engagement
How Readers Add Inline Comments
After installing the plugin, navigate to any post or page where you want to enable inline commenting.
- A reader highlights any text inside a post.
- A small comment icon appears near the selection.
- Clicking it opens a comment form.
- Once submitted, the comment is shown next to the highlighted text.
Comment Form
Instead of long comment threads at the bottom of the page, discussions appear beside the content. Readers can quickly see where comments are added and respond in context.
The comment form is clean, modern, and easy to use, which helps reduce friction for first-time commenters.
