AJAX Comments 2.09
December 14th, 2007
There's a new version of AJAX Comments, the asynchronous blog post discussion plugin, available as of this week. Compatible with the latest version of WordPress, as well as WordPress MU, it has been completely rewritten. Several new features were added and numerous bugs were thoroughly squashed through rigorous beta testing prior to release. Geeky documentation is also included for WP Hackers, and the license is now GPLv2:

I've learned a lot since the previous release (2006-07-08). One big lesson was that creating plugins is great fun, but supporting them [for free] is not. Inspired by Hannah Gray's Profile Pics Plugin, and the GNU philosophy on selling free software, there's now a minimal fee for the download. So far I've been very pleased with the unique visitors, the number of downloads, and the caliber of the people downloading my plugin—not to mention the international exposure.
One great example is Miguel Pérez of RUDEWORKS who took advantage of the CSS theming capability to present a very slick integration with his already awesome WordPress theme—a reminder that it is time to update my blog theme...
I want to personally say thank you to all those who support free software! Your US$1 goes towards the prompt release of new features, bug fixes, and email support. The cost is nominal and the benefit is clear. Every download is a contribution to the WordPress platform and inspiration for developers worldwide to focus their creative powers on the WordPress community.

Mike,
Jordy says your a wizard with Wordpress plugins. I'll have to download this one and give it a spin. I am a WP plugin junky, and have about 20 active plugins that have passed my usage approval standards :).
I have been meaning to have a custom plugin written. From what I see you have all the experience I need for my "simple" comment plugin. Send me an email with your pricing hourly or perproject etc.
Cheers,
-Bart

FYI: The plugin has been updated and tested to verify it works with the latest version of WordPress. If you have already purchased, please feel free to email me a copy of your proof of purchase (e.g. the PayPal Transaction ID) and I will email you the updated version free of charge.

Thanks for the plugin, I noticed this line: "if ( ! (is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments) )" in the code. I want to display the ajax comment form on my index.php as well as on other pages. How do I get that to work?
