RSSMy Top Commentators WordPress Plugin
I am glad to release the third WordPress plugin by Daily Blog Tips. My Top Commentators is a plugin that allows a blogger to discover who are the most active commentators on his blog (via the WordPress Dashboard, so other people will not see this information). You can also use different time frames for this, so you can see the top commentators:
- Today
- Yesterday
- Last 7 days
- This month
- Last month
- This year
- Last year
Secondly, you can also see all the comments left by a single person, and edit or delete them via the plugin interface.
So, what are the possible uses for the plugin? Here are some ideas:
- You could check your top commentators every month to write a post thanking them
- You could see the most active people on your blog to link more often to their articles
- You could see people that support your blog, and email them to propose joint ventures or ask for feedback
People that comment often on your blog are your most loyal readers, so I thought that it would be useful to know exactly who they are.
I would like to thank Pawan Agrawal from MaxBlogPress that coded the plugin specially for Daily Blog Tips. He has more outstanding plugins on his site so check it out.
Installation Guide:
- Download the plugin here
- Unzip the file
- Upload the whole MyTopCommentators folder to your Plugins folder via FTP
- Inside the Plugins section of your WordPress control panel activate the plugin
- Under the Dashboard click on My Top Commentators, and use at will

Nice work, the only problem is that people might start spamming the comments section to get a link to their blog.
Are you going to start using it on your blog?
*Just Noticed Something*
I think that it would be wise to blur out the commenter’s email in the screenshot. Some of them might not like their emails being show publicly.
Rajaie, I think this plugin is much safer then the “Top Commentators” one that people use on the sidebar.
I might do a post once in a while thanking my top commentators, but I won’t do it every month or so, so people will hardly be influenced by that to leave more comments I think.
With this plugin the owner remains in control.
Ops, doing that.
In that case, I think I should give it a try
oki..Satisfied.Giving it a try!
And I too have some good idea if plugins, but don’t know how to code it!
So, can you please advice me, where should I go with my ideas, to get a plugin constructed(coded) ?
nice work.
*still can see those emails here on feed readers lol*
@Satish, you can try to talk with people that code plugins to see if they are willing to do it, or go to elance.com or rentacoder.com and hire someone for the job.
I’ve been wanting something like this for ages, so I’ll be testing it out. In fact, I’ve already downloaded it.
You could definitely do with a page/link that links to all of the DBT plugins that are available. I couldn’t find the other 2!
Dan
@Daniel Haririson, will do.
@Jacky, needs some time for that to change
.
Oops. This is what I’m looking for
Downloaded! And installing… Thanks for this cool plugin.
That is a great plug in, i really wish i used wordpress templates now.
Wordpress seems to be evolving and becoming more and more useful, i might have to try some of their templates.
It is a great idea to thank the most loyal readers i do admit the email i received from the website thanking me for commenting is a very good way of keeping me and others as daily readers of the blog. That along with the good range of articles you currently have on here.
Keep it up Daniel.
Great plugin. I have been looking for one like this for awhile.
I agree with your point on utilizing this plugin is much safer than the “Top Commentators” one that people use on the sidebar. I often see spam comments by the commentators as their sick effort to attract more clicks.
Kudos to DailyBlogTips. I’ll have it installed later.
Nice plugin I must say quite interesting from a statistical perspective
this is a good feature
the other top commentator plugin encourage spamming sometimes
Great work. I think it is very useful.
A nice feature would be a widget or code to display the top commentators in a sidebar or something (just like the “other” plugin). I’ve been using that for some time now and I don’t find that my readers spam my blog to get in that list. In fact, some of my top commentators leave the lengthiest and most thoughtful comments.
I have now this plugin running on my dashboard. And I can say that it’s quite good.
This is a great idea, the top commentators widget does nothing more then encourage spam, but with this plugin you could email the people who comment the most to thank them for it.
This is the beauty of working with wordpress… the brilliance of other people can have a direct impact on how you grow your business to be more efficient and effective.
Hi, Daniel:
I have not downloaded a plugin in weeks, because i feel they are slowing my blog down. There are loads of good wp plugins, such as this, but how many is too many?
Can you write a post on this subject. I run several blogs, and my main blog (Groovy Vegetarian) has quite a few plugins. I would like to know at what point or quantity, should one cease to add more plugins?
Let me know. Thanxs!
I think this is a great idea. I love the ‘dashboard’ idea.
I like this plug in but I also wanna show my top commentators on sidebar. How can I do?
Good one. but, it could have been much better if there was an option to show the list on the sidebar. I don’t like to use a separate plugin for this.
Very nice. Commenting is very important in blogging. We should see the top commentators in the blog.
Great idea!
Very useful plugin. I liked the idea that only the admin can see this info through the Dashboard.

Downloaded and installed. A Different idea
I think it is very useful
After I recieved email from Easywordpress that was sent to me regularly, everyday I came to know about new plugins, I felt that I’m left behind by not using Wordpress as my blogging platform. Seeing that there are so many gadgets and plugins to use to promote and make life better.
But, I have decided it wouldn’t be for long now,
It definitely makes good sense to reward your most active participants with a bit of extra link love. I say 3 cheers for the top commentator plug in. If you’re spending the time on the blog it is nice to be rewarded for it in some form.
This sounds like a great way of finding out who is most active on your blog recently and reward them appropriately.
While we’re on commenting, is there a way of displaying a person’s total comment count after their name? In a forums post count kind of way?
great post. I will download your plugin and use it to my blogs. I find it very useful and I am very much interested. I hope i will be able to successfully install it though.
It’s time blogger follows wordpress and provides one such plugin for blogger users
The plugin is really good, esp for a popular blog e.g urs.
I have seen this plugin in use at a lot of blogs, time to use it at mine
, thanks both of you.
Great work. I think it is very useful.
How about option to display the list on a single page so that everyone could see this (without e-mails of course)?

This is perfect. The one I was using wasn’t customizable at all! This is so much better. Thanks!
@rap: It all depends on if they slow your site down. On heroesarg.com i’m running 43 plugins and my site loads 302 queries in 3.163 seconds. Not bad at all.
I use a top commentators plugin right now and have had good success with it. It hasn’t hurt my pagerank that much since I still have a 3. It is a good plugin to have to reward the people who comment most regularly to your site.
This is great and exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you!
That’s a good idea. A wigdet would be great!
Just started using this feature as well and find that it draws more traffic. Thanks for the great article!
are you still using the pluggin?
sorry i could find it on your site.
I’ve been looking for something like this for along time. I’ve already downloaded it.
I’m using it now.
Thank you very much.
nice plugin…
thanks for Sharing
Wow nice plugin, thanks for all
a really great plugin! This is exactly what I’m looking for
yay!
Great plugin. I love websites that have this plugin installed and in use. It really promotes good interaction between the blog readers and writers.
Thank for this gr8 plugin i’ll install and it would be very helpful to get more comment and visitors on blog.
This is a great plug in that really draws a lot of attention to a blog, thanks for the post!
Nice plugin. Now i just need comments…
gr8 plugin but i have a doubt..its the same one thats availbale in wordpress plugin directory? whats the difference between this two?
Great widget and easy to install, Thanks for sharing.
Oops!
I wanted smethng like dis frm sme months… surely will b testing out.
Wordpress seems to be evolving and becoming more and more useful, have tried sme of their templates.
Thanks for this gr8 plugin.
Excellent plug-in, for administrative purposes if nothing else.
That’s a good idea. A wigdet would be great!
I have installed this on my blog as well. The problem is finding people who will post quality comments to your blog. Which is why this widget was created. Yet… I still have difficulty finding the blogs within my niche to share comments with.
An awesome plugin… that is a really great idea.
Thanks for sharing.
Karl
Nice plugins which gives you an idea to post.. I like that!
This plug-in is possibly going to replace the top commentators widget on my blog. How I wish it came with a widget.
Spamming has been a long standing issue with blogs, however with increased protection especially software coming out in 2010 the top commentator addon should not be a problem.
I use the top commentator plugin currently and get good results but it is interesting to learn of this option. If I were to use this version I would also be interested in a sidebar list. Is there a reason bloggers do NOT like the sidebar list.
I’m using Comment Remix to use its powerful function. It is because it may provide top commentator and modification to comments post and provide tagging for comment.
May you differentiate between this plugin and top commentator plugin which one better.
Thanks
