wpDiscuz User & Comment Mentioning

Description

The User & Comment Mentioning addon adds to wpDiscuz the ability to mention users and comments directly in the text field, using the @ trigger to open a selector with registered names and # to reference comments already published in the thread. The extension sends email notifications to the mentioned user and converts the mention into a clickable link pointing to the profile or cited comment, ideal for those who maintain blogs with long discussions and want to encourage direct replies among participants.

Key Features of User & Comment Mentioning

• At-sign mentioning
  Type @ in the comment field and select the user from a dropdown list of registered names.
• Comment references
  Use the # character to cite previous comments in the same thread with an automatic link.
• Email notification
  Sends an alert to the mentioned user informing them that they were cited in a discussion.
• Clickable mention link
  Turns the mentioned text into a link that leads to the profile or referenced comment.
• Native wpDiscuz integration
  Fits the mention selector into the comment form without requiring additional theme configuration.

Benefits of User & Comment Mentioning

• More interaction in the thread
  Participants receive a direct alert and return to the post to reply, increasing time on site.
• More organized discussion
  Comment mentions make it clear which reply each user is reacting to in the conversation.
• Social network feel
  The @ and # behavior brings the comment section experience closer to the Twitter and Facebook format.
• Spontaneous visitor return
  Those who are mentioned receive an email and tend to return to the site to continue the conversation.

Who Is User & Comment Mentioning Recommended For?

• Those who maintain blogs with an active comment section and want to encourage direct replies among readers.
• Community sites, forums, or news portals that already use wpDiscuz and seek to make the conversation more dynamic.
• Designed for those who produce extensive editorial content and notice recurring users interacting with each other in the comments.

How to Download User & Comment Mentioning

User & Comment Mentioning is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it with wpDiscuz already installed on the site. The new mention options will then appear within the wpDiscuz settings in the admin dashboard.

By adding the @ and # feature to the wpDiscuz form, the extension turns the comment area into a space for direct conversation instead of simple isolated replies. Email notifications ensure that no one misses a citation, and the automatic link to the profile or cited comment gives immediate context to those who arrive later in the thread, creating dynamics similar to social networks within the site itself.
