Commenting Platform That Will Stop Comment Spam

Stopping your comment spam forever is now more possible than ever, thanks to Hyvor Talk.

Earlier we wrote a post on a plugin we found proved to eliminated a spam commenter that was being a bit of a nuisance, even though we use Akismet and reCAPTCHA v3. Somehow these spam comments were still getting by.

We were also using the default comment system offered by WordPress. A long time ago this website used a popular comment plugin, but it used a lot of resources and displayed ads, even though I had selected not to.

Considering another comment system to stop comment spam, we were introduced to Hyvor Talk, a privacy-focused, fully-featured commenting platform, for more than just WordPress [IMG 1 – Click any image to enlarge].

It should be noted that Hyvor Talk is a commenting platform, however, they offer their WordPress plugin that actually connects WordPress with the platform.

Hyvor Talk is used by personal blogs, web applications, and large news publications around the world, serving more than 20 million monthly page views for 1000+ websites. (as of May 2021).

Hyvor Talk is a commenting system developed to help publishers build an engaging audience around their website with comments. They also have there own high-quality built-in tools that are specifically designed to prevent spam. Hyvor Talk also makes the moderation process easier for moderators.

Signing Up For Hyvor Talk

Signing up for Hyvor is quick and easy [IMG 2], for you and your followers. When you signup to add Hyvor Talk to your website, you are called you a 'website owner'.

After you register with the Hyvor Talk commenting system as a website owner, you can then add to your website to their platform. You can do that by using a code or one of their integrations or the WordPress plugin [IMG 1].

If you don't own a website, you can create a Hyvor account and use it to comment on any websites that use Hyvor Talk.

Installing Hyvor Talk on WordPress

Installing Hyvor Talk on WordPress could not be any easier. After you create a website owner account you:

1. Export your comments first if required.
   Import you comments to Hyvor Talk.
2. Install the Hyvor Talk Plugin.
3. From the Hyvor Talk Console, add your website(s) domain. [IMG 3]
4. Tweak the settings to your liking.

They also also include very easy follow instructions on how to do it if you are unfamiliar with how to export and/or import your comments to Hyvor Talk.

Importing Existing Comments to Hyvor

Another nice feature that Hyvor Talk offers is the ability to import existing comments. At this time, you can import your comments from either WordPress or Disqus [IMG 4].

3 Different Comment Loading Modes

The Hyvor Talk plugin will allow you 3 different options to load the comments:

1. On Load
2. On scroll
3. On button click

The only time we would recommend using anything other than "on load" is if SEO is not important to you. Reason being, anything other that 'On Scroll' and ' On Button Click" will prevent Search Engines from indexing the comments and can help you rank for more keywords. Use the default loading method and it won't be a issue.

Change Hyvor Talk Appearance

Finally, a comment system that you can change the appearance of to match your website design. [IMG 5 ].
