Your theme looks great—until you reach the comments.
Better Comments gives you a clean set of controls for the comment form, comments, reply links, and avatars. No custom CSS required, no replacement comment platform, and no changes to your existing comments.
Why Better Comments?
- Give the comment form the same visual language as the rest of your site.
- Make comment cards, reply links, fields, and focus states feel intentional.
- Choose an avatar shape that fits your brand, from circles to polygons and stars.
- Let registered users upload a custom avatar from their profile.
- Improve smaller screens without rebuilding your theme’s comment template.
- Keep WordPress native: your comments, hooks, filters, and moderation workflow stay in place.
- Keep the frontend lean: assets load only where comments are displayed, and generated styles are cached.
