If anyone is looking for a plugin that adds extra comment fields to the wordpress comment section, I have a solution for you!
I spent absolutley ages searching around for something that would work – couldn’t believe it would be so hard to get one measly extra comment field onto the comment form…
Despite trying various solutions, I ended up paying a developer to modify an old one.
For this reason, I am not giving it away (it’s just a few dollars), but will make it free when I have recovered my costs. I am also committed to keeping it up to date.
The plugin allows you to add additional fields to the WordPress Comments Form.
* You can add as many extra comment fields as you like – I’ve set it up with 3 enabled, phone number, age and location. You can see these below on the comment form for this page (feel free to test it).
* You can easily change these, delete these or add additional fields – it’s up to you how many you have!
* Additional fields do not show on the submitted comments, even after you have approved it. This is because these extra comment fields are hidden comments (like the email field) – if you want to be able to display any of the additional fields, this could be achieved by modifying the code (I can provide additional paid support if you need it).
* The additional comments fields do not show in the WordPress dashboard (comments summary section) – but they do show in the admin comments section.
* The additional comments fields do not show in the admin email notification – although this can be enabled with a small change in the plugin code.
* Tested and working on WordPress version 3.02 (Dec 2010)
* Tested and working on Twentyten theme (also tested on several other custom themes)
It works fine in Twentyten and I have also added it to a few other custom themes – so it does work and is easily modifiable with a little bit of HTML / PHP knowledge. If you don’t feel comfortable with modifying the code, I can provide paid support.
