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?
– Improves trust and deliverability.
– Cuts down on abuse, spam and bot activity.
– Ensures email addresses actually belong to the commenter.
– Comments from verified users go straight to approved or pending in the future.
Features
- Email confirmation required before comment is accepted.
- Comments with unconfirmed emails are automatically deleted after 3 days.
- One-time confirmation — verified commenters skip confirmation next time.
- Lightweight, secure, and privacy-friendly.
- Admin tool to manually clear all verified email records.
- No account creation required.
- No third-party services or API keys needed.
- Only one confirmation email sent per hour to a single email address to prevent abuse.
