Title: Merged Comments for WPML Author: Ricky Poon Published: July 14, 2022 Last modified: July 14, 2022 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/merged-comments-wpml/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=2756116) # Merged Comments for WPML By [Ricky Poon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/poonasor/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/merged-comments-wpml.zip) * [Details](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/merged-comments-wpml/#description) * [Reviews](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/merged-comments-wpml/#reviews) * [Development](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/merged-comments-wpml/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/merged-comments-wpml/) ## Description Because WPML creates posts and pages for each language, comments from one do not appear on the other. This plugin merges comments from all WPML translations of the posts and pages, so that they all are displayed on each other. Comments are internally still attached to the post or page they were made on. It uses the `get_comments()` api call, which in some circumstances might not return all posts. This is a fixed version of the no longer maintained WPML Comment Merging plugin: [https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpml-comment-merging/](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpml-comment-merging/) Thanks to Simon Wheatley for contributing the fix. Forked from: [https://github.com/jgalea/wpml-comments-merging](https://github.com/jgalea/wpml-comments-merging/) ## FAQ ### What types of content are supported Initially only posts were supported, but since 1.2 also pages are supported. ### Does it work with the WPML auto translation? It should, but I have not tested it. It hooks in after the WPML hooks (using prio 100) and uses the comments passed to it. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cf08a33f6e051f64b5bfda68599bfd20df2769fd70c375076f846b1a039c37b4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[GREAT!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-15496/)󠁿 [Gerald Drißner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/geralddrissner/) April 17, 2023 A very much needed plugin.
