Instead of displaying the default WordPress “die” page when an error occurs (such as submitting a duplicate comment), the plugin shows user-friendly validation and error messages directly below the comment form. This helps visitors correct issues without leaving the current page. The plugin also allows you to customize the comment form submit button text to better match your website’s style. ### Features * Add JavaScript validation for required comment form fields. * Display validation errors without reloading the page. * Prevent the default WordPress “die” page on comment submission errors. * Display duplicate comment messages below the comment form. * Customize the comment form submit button text. * Improve the overall comment submission experience. * Lightweight and easy to configure. ### Use Cases * Improve the user experience during comment submission. * Reduce visitor frustration caused by the default WordPress error page. * Provide clear validation messages before form submission. * Customize the appearance and wording of the comment form. * Create a smoother commenting experience for your visitors. ## Screenshots [⌊JavaScript validation messages.⌉⌊JavaScript validation messages.⌉[ JavaScript validation messages.
