Comment Author Checklist

This is a WordPress plugin for writers’ critique groups and any other group blog doing some kind of document review. It gives you a new template tag, , that generates a list of registered users. The post’s author and users who have commented on the post are crossed off the list; all other users are left alone.

Example: If Mary has posted a document, Jane has commented on it, and John has not, the tag will display:

  • Jane
  • John
  • Mary

Options:

  • exclude the admin user
  • choose the minimum user role to be show in the list (e.g. Contributor, Author, etc.)
  • sort the list by user ID, display name, first name, last name, or login
  • choose the categories in which to show the list
