Featured Comments

By Pippin Williamson

Description

Lets the admin add “featured” or “buried” css class to selected comments. Handy to highlight comments that add value to your post.

This plugin makes use of the meta_query option added in WordPress 3.5 to the WP_Comment_Query class, so it is no longer compatible with earlier versions of WordPress.

Please report bugs and suggestions on Github.
