Once installation is complete, a wpDiscuz menu appears in the admin sidebar for adjusting layouts, social login, ratings, and antispam filters.
When the goal is to transform the comment box into a hub for active discussion, wpDiscuz positions itself as a direct replacement for the standard WordPress system, with more than 100 settings for adjusting display, votes, sorting, and moderation flow.
