Readme

Custom Comment System

A modern, AJAX-powered custom comment system plugin for WordPress. Features a beautifully styled comment form and nested admin reply layouts — designed with Persian (Farsi) language support.

Features

  • AJAX form submission — comments are submitted without page reload using the Fetch API
  • Custom comment form — clean two-column layout with name, email, and message fields
  • Nested admin replies — visually distinct reply boxes connected to parent comments with an SVG connector
  • Jalali (Persian) date support — automatically converts dates via wp_date, compatible with WP-Jalali / Parsi Date plugins
  • Persian digit conversion — English digits are automatically converted to Persian (۰-۹)
  • Responsive design — adapts gracefully to mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • Security — nonce verification, input sanitization, and email validation
  • Shortcode-driven — use [custom_comments] anywhere to render the system

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.0+
  • PHP 7.0+
  • Persian (Jalali) calendar support — optional, for automatic date conversion (e.g. WP-Jalali or Parsi Date plugin)

Installation

  1. Download the plugin and upload the custom-comments-system folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Add the [custom_comments] shortcode to any post, page, or widget where you want the comment system to appear.

Usage

Shortcode

[custom_comments]

Place this shortcode in any post or page content. It renders:

  • The comment submission form
  • A title ("نظرات کاربران")
  • The list of existing comments with admin replies

Template tag (optional)

If you prefer to embed the system in a PHP template:

echo do_shortcode( '[custom_comments]' );

How it works

  1. The plugin registers a singleton class (Custom_Comment_System) on plugins_loaded.
  2. Assets (CSS, JS, Vazirmatn font) are registered via wp_enqueue_scripts but only enqueued when the shortcode is rendered.
  3. The comment form is submitted via AJAX (admin-ajax.php) with nonce security.
  4. Submitted comments are inserted with wp_insert_comment and respect WordPress's comment moderation setting.
  5. The display class fetches approved parent comments and their admin replies, rendering them with distinct orange (customer) and cream (admin) boxes.

Customization

Styling

All styles use CSS custom properties scoped under #custom-comments-system-container. Override them in your theme:

#custom-comments-system-container {
    --color-primary: #E7A439;
    --color-primary-light: #FFF6E8;
    --color-text-light: #fdf6eb;
    --color-text-dark: #66614d;
}

Translation

The plugin uses Persian (Farsi) text throughout. To translate, use the custom-comments-system text domain with .po / .mo files in a standard WordPress language directory.
