7 of the Best Plugins to Manage Comments in WordPress

For a popular WordPress site, managing comments can be a very tedious task – more tedious than evenmanaging links. You can certainly disable comments completely, but you might not want to do it because comments are a great way to interact with your users.

However, when you spend endless days and nights reading and approving comments, you wonder what the point is. The good news is that there are plugins to manage comments. The comment management plugins fall into several groups – plugins that make it easier to leave a comment, plugins that enhance the built-in comments system, plugins to fight comment spam, etc. Here are a few plugins for each of these purposes.

Note: I haven’t included Akismet on the list because it comes preinstalled, and you are probably already using it anyway. It’s not omitted because it isn’t a great plugin – on the contrary, it’s a vital one.

1. Jetpack by WordPress.com

Jetpack by WordPress.com is a huge plugin, and chances are you are already using it. It’s not a plugin for comments only – it has many other features, and comments aren’t its major functionality. This plugin has more than 1 million installs, but I guess this isn’t because of its comment features only. If you install this plugin, you will override the default WordPress comments system – you will get a new comment form and will enable your users to comment on your site from their social media accounts (i.e. no need to register a separate account with your site).

2. WP Advanced Comment

This plugin with a surprisingly low number of installs (1K+ only) for such a good plugin is a real gem as far as comments are concerned. Even its free version is packed with tons of cute features, such as drag-and-drop creation of forms, comments pagination, on and off for guest comments, automatically unpublish comments if they get flagged numerous times for inappropriate content, validation, custom fields, etc. You should try WP Advanced Comment; it’s really outstanding.

3. wpDiscuz

Another plugin that enhances the native WordPress functionality is the wpDiscuz plugin. It’s fast and responsive, and it’s especially good for large sites with millions of comments because it loads pretty fast. You can integrate it with antispam and user management plugins. Among the numerous features of the plugin are nested comments, the ability of users to edit their comments, Read More button for long comments, comments sorting, post sharing, etc. Additionally, there are a few addons for it, such as Emoticons, Google ReCaptcha, Media Uploader, etc. In my opinion, this is the most versatile WordPress plugin for comments, though its modest 10K installs are a bit surprising.

4. Disqus Comment System

The most popular comment management system on the Web is available for WordPress, too. You just need to get Disqus Comment System and enable it. Among the perks you will be getting with this plugin is that comments are hosted and powered by Disqus, nested comments and replies, and better spam filtering.

5. Facebook Comments

If you’d rather your users be able to comment from their Facebook accounts, try the Facebook Comments plugin. With 100K+ active installs, it’s a popular plugin. It doesn’t have tons of functionality, though. With the help of shortcodes, you can add Facebook comments anywhere you like.

6. CommentLuv

If you want to encourage your readers to leave comments and give them a backlink in return, then you will love the CommentLuv plugin. When a user leaves a comment on your site, at the bottom of the comment there is a link to the most recent post on their blog. This functionality is like a comment magnet, but be prepared for lots of spam. too.

7. Disable Comments

Finally, if nothing else works and you hate comments so much you don’t want to see them at all, the Disable Comments plugin is your last resort. Rest assured, you are not the only one – with its whooping 900,000+ installs this plugin is a really popular one. (There must be a reason why!) With this plugin you can disable comments anywhere on your site, or you can select this per post type (e.g. posts, pages, media, or products).

I hope this selection of plugins I’ve picked will make it easier to handle comments. As usually there are many more plugins that didn’t make the list, if you are looking for more plugins, feel free to check them. They might not be as popular as the ones here, but this doesn’t mean you won’t like them more.

That rubber thingy on your Canon dSLR's strap? It has a purpose

Your Canon dSLR has a useful tool on its strap that has likely gone unnoticed. PetaPixelpoints out that the small rubber thingy, (for lack of a better term) on the strap that came with your Canon camera is an eyepiece cover that prevents light from leaking into the viewfinder.

Whenever you don't use the viewfinder to shoot a photo -- when using the self-timer or remote switch, for example -- light can enter the viewfinder and throw off the exposure. To prevent that from happening, just mask the viewfinder with the rubber eyepiece cover.

I use an old Nikon D50 and have no such rubber thingy on the strap. According to my D50 user manual, an eyepiece cover was included in the box. Since it wasn't cleverly integrated onto the strap, I lost it years ago.

I shoot with a Nikon, so I went to my local Best Buy and asked a patient store associate to open a Canon dSLR box. The included strap had the eyepiece cover that my Nikon lacks. To use the eyepiece cover, I had to remove the rubber eyepiece cup from the back of the camera and then slipped the cover over the viewfinder.

If you need to cover the viewfinder and don't have a rubber eyepiece cover handy -- Lori Grunin, one of CNET's resident photography experts, suggests you simply drape a black microfiber cloth over the viewfinder.

Hearth Stone: How to play

Itching to pick up a deck and start playing? There's no better way to learn than to simply download Hearthstone now and get started! And if you still have unanswered questions after the in-game tutorial, the pages in this section will help you catch up on anything you've missed.

Board Overview

All you need to know about Hearthstone's game interface can literally be summed up with just one screenshot. Don't believe us? Well, check it out for yourself below.

Playing Hearthstone

Let's get started by checking out the first few turns of a typical game of Hearthstone.

Pick Your Starting Hand

The match begins with a coin toss to determine who goes first, followed by both players drawing their starting hands: three cards for the coin toss winner, four for the other player. And because going first does offer a slight strategic advantage, the loser of the coin toss also gets The Coin: a special zero cost card that temporarily increases your mana by one! You can mulligan as many cards from your starting hands as you like. Once both players accept their hand, the match proper begins.

Draw a Card

You draw a cardfrom your deck at the start of each turn, and some cards allow you to draw additional cards during your turn.

Play Cards

One mana crystal isn't much, but there are plenty of low cost cards you can play during your first turn. Like this Argent Squire for example. Minions can't attack the turn they are played unless they have the Charge ability, so the squire is taking a nap until it's her turn to act.

Attack

Our opponent played a minion, and now it's our turn again. With two mana crystals, we can summon another minion, play a spell, or use our hero power. Decisions, decisions... Our Argent Squire is also ready to attack now; we can attack our opponent, or we can take out his minion. Since our squire has Divine Shield, we could take out the opposing minion without sacrificing our own.

Use Your Hero Power

Rogues can summon daggers, so let's grab a knife and use this weapon to take out our opponent's minion, saving our Squire's shield. Weapon-wielding heroes can target heroes or minions, but watch out: each attack costs one point of durability, and once your weapon runs out of durability, it's discarded for good.

End Your Turn

Satisfied with our play, we end the turn. Now it’s up to our opponent to find answers to our threats and adapt his tactics. Will he develop his board by playing more minions? Will he focus on removing ours? Will he bide his time until he can spring a deadly combo on us? Turn by turn, each match becomes more challenging, complex, and fun. What will your strategy be?

Destiny Guide: Where to Find the New Crucible Map Dead Ghosts

Check out and read the game review

There are new Dead Ghosts to find and collect in each of Destiny‘s 27 Crucible maps, added today with Private Matches. Don’t miss any with this guide.

A week ahead of the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron, Private Matches have officially come to the game. As fans started jumping into Private Matches today, they quickly discovered that there was something else waiting for them. New Dead Ghosts have been added to the Crucible, and there is one on every map. For Destiny players on PlayStation, that means there are 27 Ghosts to collect, while those on Xbox have 26 due to the PlayStation-exclusive map Sector 618 (which will remain exclusive until fall 2017).

Arekkz Gaming has a full video guide to the locations of the Dead Ghosts, but be sure to check out our handy text guide.

It will be helpful to load into a Private Match onto each of these maps solo with Control selected, as Control will provide the flags as extra landmarks in finding the Dead Ghosts. Here are all 27 Dead Ghosts:

The Anomaly

Go to the C flag side, by the moon rover. Go towards the opening and to the right in the corner between the crate and the wall will be the Ghost.

Asylum

Near C flag, in the back corner towards the screen and benches, the Ghost can be found in the tall grass on the right side of the hallway.

Bannerfall

Go to the side of the map where if you stand looking towards B flag, the main courtyard and tree are to the left. Jump up onto the platform where the Rift usually spawns, and go right into the interior building. The Ghost will be to the left on a table.

Bastion

Not far from C flag, there is a rock formation with some large boulders scattered at its base. Jump on one of the boulders on the left side of the rock formation’s opening and inside a crater is the Dead Ghost.

Black Shield

Go through the small side tunnel that is to the right when running from C flag to B flag. Before coming out of the tunnel on the side closer to B flag, the Ghost will be on the left lying on the ground.

Blind Watch

On the A flag side of the map, find the area farthest to the left (the large fan will be to the right) covered with an overhang. In the shade, on the ground is the Ghost.

The Burning Shrine

On this Trials of Osiris favorite, go outside on the “sun side” of the map and go to the center of the area. Head towards the sun and the kill barrier. The Ghost is hiding behind one of the large sqaure stones to the left. You will have to go far enough to trigger the kill barrier countdown timer to snag it.

Cathedral of Dusk

Find the large stone tablet in front of where heavy ammo spawns in the interior of the map. Go straight across towards the chasm and the Ghost will be to the right of the crypt-like box.

The Cauldron

Go to the B flag. When standing on the steps, looking at B flag, drop down into the water on the right side. In the corner to the left of the small tunnel that connects the lower level of that room, is the Ghost.

Crossroads

On the B flag side of the map, (with the rest of the map behind you) the Ghost can be found just to the left of the teleporter to the left of the tree.

The Drifter

Run from the center of the map to B flag. Go to the railing where heavy ammo spawns. Turn right and follow the railing all the way to the wall. The Ghost is on the ground there.

The Dungeons

Walk from A flag to the right and through the door towards B flag, but continue right toward the Special Ammo box that spawns there. Now turn around and check one of the corners to the left.

Exodus Blue

From the A flag side, the Ghost is in one of the buildings furthest away from the center of the map. It is inside of the building that has the Russian “Poba” writing on it. Go inside the doorway and immediately turn right to find it.

Firebase Delphi

Run right from C flag into the room where Heavy Ammo spawns. Turn right and go through the circular opening. Go straight back into that room. The Ghost is near the back wall behind a metal cylinder.

First Light

From the C flag side of the map, pass the building where Heavy Ammo spawns and head towards the domed building slightly to the left. Before jumping down off that ledge, the Ghost is nestled between some crates to the left.

Frontier

Go to where Heavy Ammo spawns between the two rocks (to the right if starting on A flag). The Ghost is hidden well in some bushes against the cliff closer to the A flag side.

Memento

In the middle of the map, there is a Special Ammo crate through a doorway on the left not far from the red car. The Ghost is very easy to spot next to the Special Ammo box.

Pantheon

The Ghost can be found on the A flag side, directly to the left below the raised platform where the Alpha spawn point is located. Look on the stairs on the edge of the chasm.

Rusted Lands

This Ghost requires going into a kill barrier to get to. Go the B flag. When facing away from the center of the map, towards B flag, the wall to the left is the edge of the map. Walk over to the wall at its halfway point. Jump over the wall, and before the timer runs out, grab the Ghost hiding on that side of the wall.

Sector 618

The Ghost is sitting on the middle platform, next to the Fallen barrier right in the middle of the map that serves as a connection between where the Spark spawns in Rift and the upper section of the map.

Shores of Time

This Ghost is hidden behind some crates outside of the tunnel that connects A flag side and the open section outside of the B flag. On the A flag side, before going into the tunnel, check the stacked boxes to the right.

Skyshock

On this very large map, head down towards the water where the plane wreckage is. Check the tail section very close to the water. The Ghost will be on the left side of the opening, next to some grass.

Thieves’ Den

Directly behind the Spider Tank that sits next to A flag, check the pile of gold like material stacked up against the wall to find the Ghost.

The Timekeeper

Go to A flag in the pool of water. With the boundary of the map at your back, there is a narrow broken wall to the left. Jump up on top of it to find the Ghost.

Twilight Gap

This Ghost is hidden in the middle of the map. There is a stack of boxes through the doors that connects the path between A flag and C flag. Walk around it until you see the Ghost resting atop a box in the middle of the stack.

Vertigo

Start at B flag facing the teleporter. Go down the stairs to the right and then take a sharp right at the bottom of the stairs. Walk straight towards the corner for the Ghost.

Widow’s Court

From C flag, go to the right side of the map towards the broken stairs on the way the A flag. The Ghost is on the upper platform in the left corner.

How to Beat Sepiks Perfected in Rise of Iron’s New Strike on Destiny

The classic strike boss from Destiny‘s Year One is back and has a bag of new tricks. Find out how to beat Sepiks Perfected straight away for when Rise of Iron launches.

Destiny is getting a remastered strike with Rise of Iron, in addition to the brand new strike Wretched Eye. Like many of Destiny‘s strikes that have been “Taken-ified” in The Taken King and the April Update, Rise of Iron will remix the first strike many players ever played, The Devil’s Lair.

To see the entire new strike in action, overflowing with the new Devil Splicer enemy faction, check out Destiny YouTuber Mesa Sean’s video:

Rise of Iron’s version of The Devil’s Lair appears to be even more changed than some of the other remastered strikes of the past. While many of the older remixed strikes feature packs of Taken among the normal enemies, this one feels a lot different.

First off, when players spawn in, they do so into the new winter version of the Cosmodrome. That carries through the strike with walls that have been cut through by the Devil Splicers and snow in the open areas. That said, the progression of the strike is much the same.

In the first main room, where players faced off against Fallen and Hive while the Ghost had to go through three rounds of hacking, players will now face off against Devil Splicers, and for only two rounds. Some of the spawn points of the enemies have changed, but the section still ends with a major Fallen Captain, albeit a Splicer version.

After that, in the the open area outside of Sepiks’ door, the Spider Tank is no more. Instead Hive and Devil Splicer skirmish, and Guardians will have to deal with both enemies.

Finally, once fireteams reach Sepiks’ room, they will find that the boss is no longer Sepiks Prime, but Sepiks Perfected (the same boss players face off against in the expansion’s first story mission). This new version of the boss has been modified and transformed by SIVA, the technological virus that takes center stage in Rise of Iron. And Sepiks doesn’t just look different, the fight has some new mechanics.

Whereas previously, Sepiks was pretty much a giant bullet sponge, some new mechanics have been added. At certain times of the fight, Sepiks will teleport away and gain an elemental shield rendering the giant Servitor immune to damage. At the same time, Splicer Captains spawn in with Scorch Cannons with the corresponding damage type. Kill the Captains, take their Scorch Cannons, and fire the one round at Sepiks to knock off its shield and continue damaging it.

In addition to showing off the new strike, Mesa Sean is also able to get a glimpse at the new Hoard Chest mechanic being added, which will drop strike specific loot that players can open with a Skeleton Key (which is a random drop from completing strikes). This allows players to open chests in strikes for the loot they are searching for most.

There is one other classic strike that is being remastered for Rise of Iron, The Summoning Pits, which has yet to be shown off.

Destiny: Rise of Iron launches September 20th on PS4 and Xbox One.

Check in at PokeStops!

Look around on your map for the blue icons that denote Pokestops.

These blue icons are often landmarks, sculptures, noteworthy buildings and more, and getting close to and swiping the image that appears in the circle will score you free items like Poke Balls to catch Pokemon,Eggs to hatch Pokemon, and upon reaching level 5 - Potions and Revives to heal your Pokemon from Gym Battles.

To use the Pokestop, you must move your character near enough to activate it (there's a ring around your character that shows how close you are). Once you have it activated, you must tap on the blue icon, then swipe to spin the blue disc that shows a picture of the spot on your screen. This will release items. You can either tap to collect them, or simply exit the Pokestop and they will be collected anyways.

Note that you must remain near the Pokestop to obtain the items, which can be difficult in moving vehicles!

How To Become a Gym Leader in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go is the popular game of mobile and have more about game on PC in here. You can click and get some of new games coming out

If your Pokemon are up to the task, you can then begin battling the defending trainers one by one (from lowest CP to highest CP) and kicking them out of the gym with each victory. Check back for a future game guide about how the combat system shakes out. As each trainer is ejected, the gym’s prestige level is reduced slightly. Once the gym is cleared out of trainers to battle, you’ll be kicked out as well. Continue returning to the gym and the Prestige level will eventually drain down to zero and the gym will appear grey (unclaimed) on the map. At this point, you’ll be able to claim the gym and leave one of your powerful Pokemon behind to protect it while you’re not around (similar to resonators in Ingress). Other trainers on your team will be able to come by and leave Pokemon as well to increase the Prestige level and help protect the territory.

Keep in mind that this gym is now a target for members of the opposing teams. Checking back and seeing how the gym is holding up is another agenda item to add to your rotation of tasks in Pokemon Go. Don’t be surprised if stealing gyms is very difficult for you at the game’s lower levels, but it will become a valuable skill and a great way to earn experience once your Pokemon are strong enough and up to the task.

Good luck out there, trainers!
