How to enhance the comment box in the post section?
5 replies · Started by Deepak on September 7, 2020
Hello Team,
I apologise if I am not able to frame my question correctly
Mine is a technical blog where users can post comments with code outputs. Now in the default wordpress comment box, there is no option to highlight a block of text as code or underline (comment box similar to what I see while raising a support question in your forum)
Is it possible to achieve this with generatepress or some plugin which you are aware of?
Regards
Deepak
Hi there,

Hello David,
Thanks for sharing the link.
It covers basics but then isn't there any way to add a comment box similar to what you guys have in the forum? Where end user can select the options such as CODE, LINK, B, I for the selected text in comments.
Regards
Deepak
Comments editor is completely handled by WordPress itself and I don't believe it offers an option to enable the tool bar.
I found a plugin that does this but it hasn't been updated in a very long time unfortunately.
Can I use the code in my theme used by this forum for adding comments? :)
We actually didn't code this.
This forum is using bbPress plugin and this is the default editor :)
