## Description

CommentAura turns the native WordPress comment section into a modern discussion 
experience, without taking your data hostage.

Everything is stored in `wp_comments` and `wp_commentmeta`, exactly where WordPress
puts it. Deactivate CommentAura and every comment, every reply, and every permalink
still works. That is not a migration path — it is the architecture.

#### Built on three promises

**1. Zero lock-in.** Your comments are native WordPress comments. No iframe, no 
external service, no account for your visitors, no export step if you leave. Uninstalling
removes CommentAura’s own data and never touches a single comment.

**2. It works without JavaScript.** The comment thread is rendered on the server,
in your page’s HTML. Search engines index it. Readers with slow connections see 
it. Screen readers read it. CommentAura ships no JavaScript at all — reading, posting,
editing, voting and reacting are all plain form submissions.

**3. No ads, no trackers, no third-party requests.** CommentAura sends nothing to
anyone. There is no analytics beacon, no CDN call, no « sponsored » content injected
into your discussions.

#### What you get

 * **Threaded discussions** that work with both classic themes and block/full-site-
   editing themes
 * **Comment subscriptions** with proper double opt-in — nobody is emailed until
   they confirm, and every notification carries a one-click unsubscribe
 * **Voting and reactions**, with duplicate prevention enforced by the database 
   rather than hopeful bookkeeping
 * **Comment editing** for a configurable window, with every revision retained so
   moderators can always see what a comment used to say
 * **Pinned comments** and per-post discussion closing
 * **A spam baseline** — honeypot and timing checks, no CAPTCHA. CAPTCHAs tax every
   honest reader to inconvenience a bot that can solve them for a fraction of a 
   cent. Works alongside Akismet if you use it.
 * **Rate limiting that does not punish shared networks.** WordPress core matches
   floods on IP _or_ email, so two unrelated visitors behind one office or mobile
   network block each other. CommentAura keys on identity and address together.
 * **Full GDPR support** — registered with WordPress’s own personal-data exporter
   and eraser.
 * **Privacy by construction** — guest identities are stored as a one-way salted
   hash, never as a raw IP address.

#### Moving in, and moving out

Under **CommentAura  Tools**:

 * **Import from Disqus.** Point it at a Disqus export file. Threads are matched
   to your posts by URL — including your old domain, since a move away from Disqus
   usually follows a domain change — and a discussion that cannot be matched is 
   skipped rather than attached to the wrong post. Re-running the same file imports
   nothing twice.
 * **Dry run first, always.** Every import previews exactly what it would do before
   anything is written. That is the default.
 * **Switch from another comment plugin.** Your comments need no migration at all—
   wpDiscuz, Jetpack Comments and Subscribe to Comments Reloaded all store them 
   in `wp_comments` already, which is where CommentAura reads from. What those plugins
   keep in their own tables is the material _around_ the comments, so CommentAura
   brings across the part that would otherwise be lost: subscriber lists and votes.
   Nothing is deleted from the other plugin, and running it twice does not double
   anything.
 * **Export every comment as JSON**, streamed in batches so the size of your site
   does not decide whether the export finishes.

Note that Disqus exports produced since 2019 contain no email addresses and no IP
addresses for guest commenters. CommentAura preserves the display name, imports 
with an empty address, and tells you how many were affected rather than letting 
you find out from a support ticket.

#### Performance

A page with CommentAura active but no comment thread loads **zero** CommentAura 
assets. Not a small file — none.

Rendering a thread costs a fixed number of database queries regardless of how many
comments a post has, because replies are fetched per level rather than per comment.
A post with 10 comments and a post with 10,000 cost the same.

#### Developer friendly

 * A documented REST API under `commentaura/v1`
 * Every template is an overridable partial you can copy into your theme
 * Named callbacks throughout, so hooks can actually be removed
 * PSR-4, PHP 8.1+, strict types, PHPStan level 8

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin through **Plugins  Add New**, or upload the folder to `/wp-content/
    plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. That is it — your existing comments are already there.

Optional settings live under **CommentAura  Settings** in your admin menu. There
are deliberately few of them.

## FAQ

### Will I lose my comments if I deactivate this?

No. This is the entire point of the plugin. Comments live in WordPress’s own tables
the whole time. Deactivate CommentAura and your theme’s normal comment display returns,
with every comment, reply, and link intact.

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. The thread is rendered into the page itself and sets no cookies, so a post 
with comments caches exactly like a post without them. Posting goes through WordPress’s
own comment handler as a normal form submission, which is never served from a cache—
so commenting works on a fully cached page without the plugin having to punch a 
hole in it.

### Does it work with block themes?

Yes. CommentAura integrates with both the classic `comments_template()` path and
the block editor’s `core/comments` block, and produces identical output through 
either.

### Do my visitors need JavaScript?

No. Reading and posting comments both work with JavaScript disabled.

### Does it send data anywhere?

No. There are no third-party requests of any kind.

### Where are votes and reactions stored?

In CommentAura’s own tables, because they do not fit WordPress’s comment schema.
Your comments themselves are never copied, shadowed, or moved.

### Is there a CAPTCHA?

No, and that is deliberate. CommentAura uses an invisible honeypot and a timing 
check instead, which cost your readers nothing.
