Tired of fake email addresses and spam flooding your WordPress comment section? The Email Validator for Comments plugin stops it at the source — by requiring users to confirm their email before a comment is accepted. It’s lightweight, privacy-first, and frictionless for real users.
What Is Email Validator For Comments?
This WordPress plugin ensures only real, verified users can comment on your site. When someone submits a comment, they receive a one-time confirmation link by email. Their comment won’t appear unless they confirm — no account needed, no extra forms, no spam bots slipping through.
- Improve Trust: Only real users with verified email addresses can comment.
- Prevent Spam: Blocks bots, throwaway emails, and abusive activity.
- Better Deliverability: Helps maintain a clean, reputable sender domain.
- Seamless UX: Once verified, users can comment without future confirmation.
Key Features
- One-Time Email Confirmation – Users must verify their email before their comment appears — no password or login required.
- Auto-Delete Unverified Comments – If an email isn’t confirmed within 3 days, the comment is automatically removed.
- Verified Users Skip Confirmation – Returning commenters with verified emails go straight to approval or moderation.
- No Accounts or Third-Party APIs – Privacy-friendly and 100% self-contained. No signups, API keys, or external services needed.
- Abuse Prevention – Only one confirmation email is sent per hour to any single email address.
- Manual Tools for Admins – Clear all verified email records with one click from the admin panel.
- Lightweight and Secure – No bloat, no tracking, and no unnecessary features.
How It Works?
- A user leaves a comment on your post.
- The plugin sends them a unique, one-time confirmation email.
- The user clicks the link to verify their email.
- The comment is approved or sent to moderation, depending on your settings.
- If the email is never confirmed, the comment is deleted after 3 days.
Simple for real people. Impossible for spam bots. The plugin filters out bad actors without punishing the real users.
