Descripción
Stop fake or misused emails in your comment section.
This plugin prevents spam and ensures valid email ownership by requiring users to confirm their email address before a comment is submitted.
When a user leaves a comment, they’ll receive a one-time confirmation link by email. Their comment won’t appear until they click the link — no accounts, no passwords and no friction for real users.
Why Use It?

– Comments from verified users go straight to approved or pending in the future.

FAQ
-
Does it store user data?
-
Only temporarily. The commenter’s email and comment content are stored until confirmation. After that, the pending data is deleted automatically. Nothing is shared or transmitted to third parties.
-
Will users have to confirm every time they comment?
-
No. Once a user confirms their email once, future comments from the same email will bypass the confirmation step.
-
What happens to unconfirmed comments?
-
If the confirmation link isn’t clicked within 3 days, the comment is automatically deleted.
-
Does it work with caching plugins?
-
Yes, it’s designed to work with most major caching solutions.
