Key Engagement Features
Thrive Comments treats your comment section like a community forum rather than a simple text box.

-
Featured Comments: “Pin” the best comments to the top of the thread to highlight high-quality contributions.
Conversion & Post-Comment Actions
One of the most unique aspects of this plugin is the ability to trigger actions after someone submits a comment:
-
Display a Custom Message: Thank the user personally.
-
Social Sharing: Prompt the user to share their comment (and your post) on social media.
-
Related Posts: Automatically show relevant content to keep them on your site.

Redirect to URL: Send commenters to a specific landing page or thank-you page.

-
Dedicated Moderation Dashboard: A streamlined interface separate from the standard WordPress “Comments” tab.

Delegation: Assign specific comments to different team members or authors for replies.
-
Automatic Linking: Set specific keywords to automatically link to your products or relevant articles whenever they appear in a comment.
