This update comes with few interesting features which I would like to explain a bit more.
New Email Notifications
From now on, you would be having much better email notifications.
Reply notification and admin are quite similar, except that admin does not have reply comment part.
Here is admin notification example:
Here is reply comment notification example:
New design helps to solve the following problems:
- you see user avatar you replied or left comment
- if this is reply, you see comment to which reply was made
Import HyperComments
Long story short, it is now possible to import comments from HyperComments (HC).
We wanted to make this feature available long time ago and finally it is possible to do now.
All you need is link to their XML export file, put it in the special field inside “Tools” tab and click on “Import” button.
If you encounter any troubles while migrating comments, you can use “Revert” button, which would delete all comments that were imported from HC.
Cache directory
Originally cache directory was located inside wp-content/plugins/anycomment/cache, meaning it was inside plugin directory itself.
This is not so good, as some of the users did not have correct write permissions, so we moved it to wp-content/cache/anycomment.
Changelog
Here is complete changelog.
