## ವಿವರಣೆ

This plugin enables a user with the administrator role the ability to comment on
any post or page, even if the comments for that post or page are closed. When the
plugin is active, this behavior is automatically enabled.

Administrators can be explicitly prevented from commenting on specific posts via
two approaches:

 * When creating or editing a post, in the “Prevent Admin Comments” metabox (in 
   the block editor) or the “Discussion” metabox (in the classic editor) there is
   a checkbox labeled “Prevent administrators from commenting” that only administrators
   can access. Checking the checkbox will prevent administrators from commenting
   on the post even though this plugin is active. (If the metabox isn’t visible 
   for you when using the classic editor, then expand the “Screen Options” slide-
   down panel on the upper-right of the page.)
 * Programmatically, via the use of the ‘c2c_admin_can_always_comment_disable’ filter.
   This can be used be provide more fine-grained access control and contextual handling.
   See the “Hooks” section for documentation on the filter’s use.

### Developer Documentation

Developer documentation can be found in [DEVELOPER-DOCS.md](https://github.com/coffee2code/always-allow-admin-comments/blob/master/DEVELOPER-DOCS.md).
That documentation covers the hooks provided by the plugin.

As an overview, these are the hooks provided by the plugin:

 * `c2c_always_allow_admin_comments_disable` : Customizes if comments should actually
   be disabled for a particular admin user.
 * `c2c_always_allow_admin_comments_post_types`: Customizes which post types are
   supported by the plugin.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * A screenshot of the `Discussion` metabox when creating/editing a post or page
   that allows you to override the plugin to truly disable admin commenting for 
   the post/page. This is the form field used for versions of WordPress older than
   5.0, or for versions later than 5.0 when the block editor is disabled.
 * [[
 * A screenshot of the `Prevent Admin Comments` metabox when creating/editing a 
   post or page that allows you to override the plugin to truly disable admin commenting
   for the post/page. This is the form field used for WordPress 5.0 and later when
   the block editor is enabled (which it is by default).

## Installation

 1. Install via the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or install the plugin code
    inside the plugins directory for your site (typically `/wp-content/plugins/`).
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### Will this plugin allow an administrator to comment on a post whose comments have been automatically closed for being old?

Yes.

### Does this plugin support the block editor (aka Gutenberg)?

Yes, though not entirely. The primary functionality of the plugin–allowing administrators
to always comment on posts–works regardless of the post editor being used. However,
the checkbox that allows the plugin to be disabled on a per-post basis (in order
to actively prevent administrators from being able to comment on the post) is currently
only available in the classic editor. This is unlikely to affect most users.

### Does this plugin include unit tests?

Yes.
