## Description

Comment Saver temporarily stores the content of comments in a browser cookie
 just
in case something goes wrong while submitting the comment. For example, if the user
forgot to include their name and email address and those fields are required, the
comment may be lost on some browsers. When the user returns to the comment form,
Comment Saver will automatically populate the comment box if the cookie is still
set. It will remove the temporary cookie once the comment has been successfully 
submitted, or after one hour.

## Installation

This plugin follows the [standard WordPress installation method](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins):

 1. Upload the `comment-saver` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. That’s it… there’s nothing to configure
