Questions

Simple Comment Editing is now Comment Edit Core?

Yes. We’ve renamed the plugin to make it easier to find and to more closely tie the plugin to the pro version.

Why doesn’t this plugin come with any styles?

It’s impossible to style an inline comment editor for every theme. We’ve included basic HTML markup that is easily stylable to fit your theme.

With Comment Edit Pro, you can choose between three themes.

Where are the options?

No options 🙂 – Just simple comment editing. If you prefer options, try out the paid add-on Comment Edit Pro.

How do I customize this plugin?

For advanced options, please see the SCE Filter/Action reference or get Comment Edit Pro.

What browsers have you tested this with?

Simple Comment Editing will work all the way back to IE10.

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.
