This plugin currently works perfectly with WordPress 6.6.2
I just wanted to remove the website” field but found that it was much more useful than that: I could add a note at the top of the form to see our Comment Guidelines and a note at the bottom to ask commenters to check that they had input their name and a working email address.
I sure hope the developer keeps this up-to-date!
P.S. I can’t find a clear path to donate!
