wpDiscuz – Comment Author Info is a premium add-on for the wpDiscuz WordPress plugin. It is designed to transform the standard comment section into a more community-driven space by providing detailed background information on the people leaving comments.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The add-on adds a “Quick Info” hover effect and a “Full Info” pop-up window that appears when interacting with a commenter’s avatar or name. It organizes this data into four primary tabs:
Profile Tab: Displays the user’s display name, nickname, website, and biography. It also shows “Last Activity” dates and integration badges (like myCRED).
Activity Tab: Lists all previous comments made by that specific user across the entire site, including dates and direct links to those comments.
Votes Tab: Shows a history of how the user has voted (Likes/Dislikes) on other comments.
Subscriptions Tab: Allows the user (and others, depending on settings) to see what topics or threads they are currently following.

User Statistics: Automatically calculates and displays the total number of approved, pending, spam, and trashed comments for every user.
Social & Engagement Data: Integrates with the “Follow” system, allowing users to follow/unfollow authors directly from the pop-up.
Granular Display Settings: Admins can choose exactly which fields to show (e.g., hide the “Votes” tab but keep the “Profile” tab).
Role-Based Restrictions: You can restrict the visibility of author info based on WordPress user roles (e.g., only show info for “Subscribers” or hide it from “Guests”).
Translation Ready: All front-end phrases and tab titles can be customized or translated directly through the wpDiscuz dashboard settings.
Block/Unblock: Includes functionality to block authors directly from the profile interface.
The primary intent of this add-on is to build trust and authority. By allowing readers to see a commenter’s history and reputation (badges and total likes), it discourages “hit-and-run” trolling and encourages high-quality contributions from established community members.
