FAQ
What is the use of this plugin?
Plugin name says everything. This plugin prevents the comments from loading automatically when page/post is loaded. Instead, this plugin will lazy load the comments when user scroll down to comments section or clicking on comment button.
I don’t need loader gif image, can I disable it?
Yes, you can!. Just add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.
add_filter( 'llc_enable_loader_element', '__return_false' );
How can I change the button text?
Just add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.
add_filter( 'llc_button_text', function () {
return 'My Custom Button Text';
});
How can I add a custom class to the button?
Add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.
add_filter( 'llc_button_class', function () {
return 'custom-class-1 custom-class-2';
});
Can I use something else instead of loader image?
Yes! There is a filter for this too! Add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.
add_filter( 'llc_loader_element_content', function () {
// Use any html element.
return '<p class="custom-loader">Loading... Please wait.</p>';
});
How to lazy load only only when there specific (or more) no. of comments?
You can simply use below filter to set the minimum no. of comments to lazy load.
add_filter( 'llc_can_lazy_load_minimum_count', function () {
// Lazy load only if there are 10 or more comments.
return 10;
});

Reviews
But support is unresponsive.
It breaks the Moderation notice. The user just gets sent back to the main page and they don’t know if their comment submitted or not. In my analytics, it states that there is a javascript error, so that needs to be fixed. It also breaks the built in discussion settings of breaking the comments into groups, and the feature of clicking “next” to get the next batch Other than that it works. Simple plugin without options.
Great plugin, works fine. I just hope it always gets updated. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations and thank you very much for this wonderful plugin, my website has a lot of comments, several times the vps cpu reached 100% of use on the pages with many comments, this plugin is wonderful, excellent.
Спасибо за отличный плагин! Это то, что я искал.
