6 Reasons Why We Switched Away from Livefyre

[agentsw ua=’pc’]

Almost exactly a year from today, we decided to make a major switch in our site and ran Livefyre Commenting System to replace the default WordPress comments. It was a product that we fell in love with from the start, and we established great relationship with the folks in the company. Unfortunately, with our recent overhaul, we made the decision to part ways from Livefyre. A lot of our users have been asking us to do a detailed article on the new design and changes. The most common question we were getting was why did we switch from Livefyre. In this article, we will give you some insights into the decision of switching away from livefyre and reverting back to the default WordPress comments.

Why we initially fell in love with Livefyre

Livefyre offered real-time comments, “reduced” spam because of registration requirement, integrated with social media and brought conversation back to the site. Livefyre allowed sign-on with facebook, twitter etc as well. The thought of reducing server load was also in the back of our mind. All that sounds great, but as our site grew we saw us running into a few issues.

What the heck happened?

1. Real-Time Comments

We really enjoyed the real-time comments feature because we were able to have some great chat-like conversations in our comments. It was the best engagement experience that we have ever seen from comments. However, real-time comments got harder to moderate. Spammers realized that they were only a single registration away from getting all of their comments approved on our site.

Livefyre Comment Spam

Note: Normally we would never publish emails or IP addresses of users. This is a spammer, and we feel that it is only fair to reveal their identity.

Back to the point. So we found ourselves cleaning up a lot of these comments on a regular basis. Some would even escape our eyes and stay in for months until a user sees it and reports it as SPAM. One of the reasons why we kept this feature going while moderating these comments was that the user’s link was pointed to their livefyre profile rather than their actual website. So we weren’t out-linking to bad neighborhood sites. This came to an end when Livefyre decided to launch a new feature that allowed users to add their own website links and giving website publishers NO CONTROL over this option. We started seeing an increase in SPAM comments, so we quickly disabled the real-time feature (which was the main the thing that attracted us to Livefyre in the first place).

2. Like SPAM

One of the things that sold us to the idea was that requiring registration will reduce spam. Well that was totally WRONG. Livefyre has a feature called Like. Which obviously was created with great intentions. However, the system is being heavily abused. Let us explain the process. Any registered livefyre user can like a comment if they agree with what is being said. When a user likes a comment, their avatar shows up next to the comment with a direct backlink to the user’s site. Not to mention it is a DO-FOLLOW backlink. Below is a screenshot from Livefyre’s blog itself where you can see Like SPAM in works.

Livefyre Like SPAM

In the example above, this spammer is not a very smart one. He is using the default mystery man avatar. The spammers on our site were smarter. They had their logos as avatar. So you would see a colorful bunch of mini-icons that were being linked to spammy SEO sites, credit card offer sites etc. Some might not believe this to be a real thing, but this is happening. Below is one of the users’s profile that we reported to Livefyre almost a month ago.

Livefyre Like Spammer Profile

No action has been taken so far. The spammer’s profile is still active or at least seems active (because it is visible). Now either this guy really loves every single comment he reads, or they are a spammer. We choose to believe the latter. Don’t believe us, go check out the site link mentioned in his profile, it is an adsense farm website.

Now you are thinking what we described above is bad. The worst part is that there is no notification of who liked what on your website. There is no way for you to know who is SPAMMING your site. The only way to find out is if a user reports it to you, or you accidentally go to one of your older posts and notice this.

When we found out that we were a victim of Like SPAM on numerous articles through out the site (and probably more that we didn’t know about), we knew that we had to switch right away. We felt helpless and out of control. One of the downside for not owning your content.

3. Social Conversation

Social conversation is a very nice option that Livefyre provides. You can choose to bring in your conversations from Twitter and Facebook back to the article. In theory this sounds great, however it has yet to be perfected. We saw a lot of irrelevant comments coming from Twitter. It is a good idea, it just needs more perfection and a better filter. We tried this feature on our site, and it did not work as great as it should have.

4. Moderation

When choosing to use Livefyre, we were under the impression that there was a two-way communication between Livefyre and your WordPress database. Which would mean that you can use WordPress moderation to approve, delete, or reply to comments. Well that was not TRUE. It seemed to work for us in the beginning, but recently it backfired. We updated the Livefyre plugin, and all of the sudden we had hundreds of comments pending moderation. Turned out all the comments we had moderated already were back (and marked as pending). Not sure what happened there. We contacted Livefyre support and got the response:

It sounds like you’re trying to moderate comments from within the WordPress Dashboard, which we do not support at the moment i.e changes within your dashboard won’t sync to Livefyre.

We are sure that it was working in the past. Don’t recall which version upgrade it was, but it seemed to mess things up. Talked with a good friend Mitch Canter (@studionashvegas), and he said it worked on his site too. He said it still works for him. So we are not entirely sure what went wrong, but nonetheless, we were left with hundreds of comments to go through and re-moderate.

We were told that in order for this to work, we have to moderate the comments using the Livefyre Moderation Panel. There were quite a few reasons why we absolutely disliked the livefyre administration panel from the start.

  • No Bulk Moderation – If you want to delete multiple comments or mark them as spam, there is no way to do it easily. You have to do it individually. This remains to be the problem even in their NEW interface.
  • Poor Individual Moderation – Simply deleting a comment requires 2 clicks. One is the decision to delete, then giving the reason to delete. This can get tedious. This remains to be the problem in their NEW interface.
  • No control over comments – When we made the decision to switch, there was no option to edit user’s comment. This made it harder to enforce comment guidelines. For example someone leaves a great comment, but ends a signature link (which we do not allow). We either have to accept the comment as-is or delete it. This is fixed in their new interface. You can now edit comments.
  • Replying is a PAIN – For a site like ours, we often find a need to reply to comments. There is no easy way to do this. You will see the comment in livefyre moderation panel. You have to open the article where you can see the comment as pending. Approve it, and then reply from there. This makes the Livefyre moderation panel pretty much useless. In WordPress backend moderation, there is a really cool feature called Reply and Approve. So you can reply to the comment without ever opening a new tab/window for the post.

5. Formatting Issues

We noticed that Livefyre was adding additional CSS as comments text for some users. It has to be some sort of user-end issue because it was only happening to a handful, but we value all of our users. Not sure if this has been fixed or not.

Another thing we noticed was that adding line breaks in your comment was a pain. So we would try to reply to someone and paste a link. However Livefyre’s auto-formatting would get rid of those. Sometimes even caused the links to be broken, so we would have to add extra spaces between the link and the text after that. The biggest problem was that when you are typing, you can use Shift + Enter, and it will show you that the line break was there. See the image below:

Livefyre Line Breaks

6. Not a Fair Compromise

When deciding to use Livefyre, we made some compromises. We gave up some opportunities to get other cool features that Livefyre was providing. But after using Livefyre for an extensive period and see the downsides, we felt that we did not make a fair compromise. Let us elaborate a little bit.

No Custom Styling

We were well aware of this when we switched to Livefyre. Anytime you use a third party script, you lose control over some of the styling. Currently our comment design matches the theme, and it looks beautiful. With Livefyre we did not have control over the looks as much. They do not have the white-labeling option available for the general public. However, we do believe that this service is provided for enterprise level customers.

No Lead Generation from Comments

We knew that once we switch to Livefyre, we would lose the lead generation opportunities from the comment form. We were doing comment redirects for first time users as well as giving the users an ability to subscribe to the newsletter from the comments. We talked with the Livefyre team about adding this. The bottom line was that there is no SIMPLE solution. The solution they proposed was that there is an API available which we can use to hook into their system and collect emails if the user checked the checkbox. There was no possible way to do comment redirect.

Our team’s thought process went a little like this:

In order for us to use this platform and get the features we want, we have to build it ourselves. Whereas there is a perfectly good commenting system in place which is much easier to work with. There are plenty of plugins already available. Well the decision was unanimous.

Third-Party Registration

Again, we were aware of this when we signed up to use Livefyre. We knew that we would have to require our users to sign up with a third-party service “Livefyre” to comment on our site. We believed that it was for the greater good because we will have meaningful conversation and other added features. All the WordCamps we attended, we always had a few users come up and complain about the commenting system. We got numerous user emails about it as well. Folks were having trouble commenting behind a firewall, some folks just felt their freedom to comment on WPBeginner was lost. Yes, a few months back Livefyre added guest commenting as a feature. But it still encourage users to signup with Livefyre afterwards. This again was not a fair compromise. We let our users down. A lot of them stopped commenting. Few would comment via email to let us know if we made a mistake etc. This was really disappointing for us. Some of these users said, they would happily register to comment, if they were signing up for WPBeginner. But we were requiring them to signup with a third party. We talked with Livefyre about this. They do have an enterprise API that will let you keep your own user base. All user data would be yours. However, the integration process didn’t seem as straight forward. Don’t recall the whole thing, but basically we would have to create a separate bbPress or BuddyPress database to hold all users. It just sounded too confusing. We chose not to go forward with that.

At the time, these compromises did not sound like a big deal compared to all the cool features that we were getting with Livefyre. However as time went by, we were able to see a clearer picture from our experience.

So What Now?

Well, we have switched back to the built-in WordPress commenting system. Few users emailed us asking what we are using to add the sign in with Twitter / Facebook option that you see below. We are using a combination of two plugins (by the same author @otto42) called Simple Twitter Connect and Simple Facebook Connect.

Update October 12, 2012: We got rid of both twitter login and FB login options mainly because we saw that people weren’t using it as much. Getting rid of them makes a significant impact on load times. We would rather have the site faster for the majority :)

We have met and talked with numerous users who love using Livefyre. While it was not a right fit for our site, you are more than welcome to try it out for yourself. We would like to hear your thoughts on Livefyre. If you have an opinion, feel free to comment below.

2. how to Like how to SPAM

One how to of how to the how to things how to that how to sold how to us how to to how to the how to idea how to was how to that how to requiring how to registration how to will how to reduce how to spam. how to Well how to that how to was how to totally how to WRONG. how to Livefyre how to has how to a how to feature how to called how to Like. how to Which how to obviously how to was how to created how to with how to great how to intentions. how to However, how to the how to system how to is how to being how to heavily how to abused. how to Let how to us how to explain how to the how to process. how to Any how to registered how to livefyre how to user how to can how to like how to a how to comment how to if how to they how to agree how to with how to what how to is how to being how to said. how to When how to a how to user how to likes how to a how to comment, how to their how to avatar how to shows how to up how to next how to to how to the how to comment how to with how to a how to direct how to backlink how to to how to the how to user’s how to site. how to Not how to to how to mention how to it how to is how to a how to DO-FOLLOW how to backlink. how to Below how to is how to a how to screenshot how to from how to Livefyre’s how to blog how to itself how to where how to you how to can how to see how to Like how to SPAM how to in how to works.

how to src=”https://cdn3.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespam.gif” how to alt=”Livefyre how to Like how to SPAM” how to title=”Livefyre how to Like how to SPAM” how to width=”520″ how to height=”400″ how to class=”alignnone how to size-full how to wp-image-5993″ how to data-lazy-srcset=”https://cdn3.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespam.gif how to 520w, how to https://cdn3.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespam-300×230.gif how to 300w” how to data-lazy-sizes=”(max-width: how to 520px) how to 100vw, how to 520px” how to data-lazy-src=”data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=’http://www.w3.org/2000/svg’%20viewBox=’0%200%20520%20400’%3E%3C/svg%3E”>

In how to the how to example how to above, how to this how to spammer how to is how to not how to a how to very how to smart how to one. how to He how to is how to using how to the how to default how to mystery how to man how to avatar. how to The how to spammers how to on how to our how to site how to were how to smarter. how to They how to had how to their how to logos how to as how to avatar. how to So how to you how to would how to see how to a how to colorful how to bunch how to of how to mini-icons how to that how to were how to being how to linked how to to how to spammy how to SEO how to sites, how to credit how to card how to offer how to sites how to etc. how to Some how to might how to not how to believe how to this how to to how to be how to a how to real how to thing, how to but how to this how to is how to happening. how to Below how to is how to one how to of how to the how to users’s how to profile how to that how to we how to reported how to to how to Livefyre how to almost how to a how to month how to ago. how to

how to src=”https://cdn4.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespamprofile.gif” how to alt=”Livefyre how to Like how to Spammer how to Profile” how to title=”Livefyre how to Like how to Spammer how to Profile” how to width=”520″ how to height=”430″ how to class=”alignnone how to size-full how to wp-image-5994″ how to data-lazy-srcset=”https://cdn4.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespamprofile.gif how to 520w, how to https://cdn3.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/livefyrelikespamprofile-300×248.gif how to 300w” how to data-lazy-sizes=”(max-width: how to 520px) how to 100vw, how to 520px” how to data-lazy-src=”data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=’http://www.w3.org/2000/svg’%20viewBox=’0%200%20520%20430’%3E%3C/svg%3E”>

No how to action how to has how to been how to taken how to so how to far. how to The how to spammer’s how to profile how to is how to still how to active how to or how to at how to least how to seems how to active how to (because how to it how to is how to visible). how to Now how to either how to this how to guy how to really how to loves how to every how to single how to comment how to he how to reads, how to or how to they how to are how to a how to spammer. how to We how to choose how to to how to believe how to the how to latter. how to Don’t how to believe how to us, how to go how to check how to out how to the how to site how to link how to mentioned how to in how to his how to profile, how to it how to is how to an how to adsense how to farm how to website. how to

Now how to you how to are how to thinking how to what how to we how to described how to above how to is how to bad. how to The how to worst how to part how to is how to that how to there how to is how to no how to notification how to of how to who how to liked how to what how to on how to your how to website. how to There how to is how to no how to way how to for how to you how to to how to know how to who how to is how to SPAMMING how to your how to site. how to The how to only how to way how to to how to find how to out how to is how to if how to a how to user how to reports how to it how to to how to you, how to or how to you how to accidentally how to go how to to how to one how to of how to your how to older how to posts how to and how to notice how to this. how to

When how to we how to found how to out how to that how to we how to were how to a how to victim how to of how to Like how to SPAM how to on how to numerous how to articles how to through how to out how to the how to site how to (and how to probably how to more how to that how to we how to didn’t how to know how to about), how to we how to knew how to that how to we how to had how to to how to switch how to right how to away. how to We how to felt how to helpless how to and how to out how to of how to control. how to One how to of how to the how to downside how to for how to not how to owning how to your how to content.

3. how to Social how to Conversation

Social how to conversation how to is how to a how to very how to nice how to option how to that how to Livefyre how to provides. how to You how to can how to choose how to to how to bring how to in how to your how to conversations how to from how to Twitter how to and how to Facebook how to back how to to how to the how to article. how to In how to theory how to this how to sounds how to great, how to however how to it how to has how to yet how to to how to be how to perfected. how to We how to saw how to a how to lot how to of how to irrelevant how to comments how to coming how to from how to Twitter. how to It how to is how to a how to good how to idea, how to it how to just how to needs how to more how to perfection how to and how to a how to better how to filter. how to We how to tried how to this how to feature how to on how to our how to site, how to and how to it how to did how to not how to work how to as how to great how to as how to it how to should how to have.

4. how to Moderation

When how to choosing how to to how to use how to Livefyre, how to we how to were how to under how to the how to impression how to that how to there how to was how to a how to two-way how to communication how to between how to Livefyre how to and how to your how to WordPress how to database. how to Which how to would how to mean how to that how to you how to can how to use how to WordPress how to moderation how to to how to approve, how to delete, how to or how to reply how to to how to comments. how to Well how to that how to was how to not how to TRUE. how to It how to seemed how to to how to work how to for how to us how to in how to the how to beginning, how to but how to recently how to it how to backfired. how to We how to updated how to the how to Livefyre how to plugin, how to and how to all how to of how to the how to sudden how to we how to had how to hundreds how to of how to comments how to pending how to moderation. how to Turned how to out how to all how to the how to comments how to we how to had how to moderated how to already how to were how to back how to (and how to marked how to as how to pending). how to Not how to sure how to what how to happened how to there. how to We how to contacted how to Livefyre how to support how to and how to got how to the how to response:

It how to sounds how to like how to you’re how to trying how to to how to moderate how to comments how to from how to within how to the how to WordPress how to Dashboard, how to which how to we how to do how to not how to support how to at how to the how to moment how to i.e how to changes how to within how to your how to dashboard how to won’t how to sync how to to how to Livefyre. how to

We how to are how to sure how to that how to it how to was how to working how to in how to the how to past. how to Don’t how to recall how to which how to version how to upgrade how to it how to was, how to but how to it how to seemed how to to how to mess how to things how to up. how to Talked how to with how to a how to good how to friend how to Mitch how to Canter how to (@studionashvegas), how to and how to he how to said how to it how to worked how to on how to his how to site how to too. how to He how to said how to it how to still how to works how to for how to him. how to So how to we how to are how to not how to entirely how to sure how to what how to went how to wrong, how to but how to nonetheless, how to we how to were how to left how to with how to hundreds how to of how to comments how to to how to go how to through how to and how to re-moderate.

We how to were how to told how to that how to in how to order how to for how to this how to to how to work, how to we how to have how to to how to moderate how to the how to comments how to using how to the how to Livefyre how to Moderation how to Panel. how to There how to were how to quite how to a how to few how to reasons how to why how to we how to absolutely how to disliked how to the how to livefyre how to administration how to panel how to from how to the how to start.

5. how to Formatting how to Issues

We how to noticed how to that how to Livefyre how to was how to adding how to additional how to CSS how to as how to comments how to text how to for how to some how to users. how to It how to has how to to how to be how to some how to sort how to of how to user-end how to issue how to because how to it how to was how to only how to happening how to to how to a how to handful, how to but how to we how to value how to all how to of how to our how to users. how to Not how to sure how to if how to this how to has how to been how to fixed how to or how to not.

Another how to thing how to we how to noticed how to was how to that how to adding how to line how to breaks how to in how to your how to comment how to was how to a how to pain. how to So how to we how to would how to try how to to how to reply how to to how to someone how to and how to paste how to a how to link. how to However how to Livefyre’s how to auto-formatting how to would how to get how to rid how to of how to those. how to Sometimes how to even how to caused how to the how to links how to to how to be how to broken, how to so how to we how to would how to have how to to how to add how to extra how to spaces how to between how to the how to link how to and how to the how to text how to after how to that. how to The how to biggest how to problem how to was how to that how to when how to you how to are how to typing, how to you how to can how to use how to Shift how to + how to Enter, how to and how to it how to will how to show how to you how to that how to the how to line how to break how to was how to there. how to See how to the how to image how to below:

6. how to Not how to a how to Fair how to Compromise

When how to deciding how to to how to use how to Livefyre, how to we how to made how to some how to compromises. how to We how to gave how to up how to some how to opportunities how to to how to get how to other how to cool how to features how to that how to Livefyre how to was how to providing. how to But how to after how to using how to Livefyre how to for how to an how to extensive how to period how to and how to see how to the how to downsides, how to we how to felt how to that how to we how to did how to not how to make how to a how to fair how to compromise. how to Let how to us how to elaborate how to a how to little how to bit.

No how to Custom how to Styling

We how to were how to well how to aware how to of how to this how to when how to we how to switched how to to how to Livefyre. how to Anytime how to you how to use how to a how to third how to party how to script, how to you how to lose how to control how to over how to some how to of how to the how to styling. how to Currently how to our how to comment how to design how to matches how to the how to theme, how to and how to it how to looks how to beautiful. how to With how to Livefyre how to we how to did how to not how to have how to control how to over how to the how to looks how to as how to much. how to They how to do how to not how to have how to the how to white-labeling how to option how to available how to for how to the how to general how to public. how to However, how to we how to do how to believe how to that how to this how to service how to is how to provided how to for how to enterprise how to level how to customers. how to

No how to Lead how to Generation how to from how to Comments

We how to knew how to that how to once how to we how to switch how to to how to Livefyre, how to we how to would how to lose how to the how to how to href=”https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-do-lead-generation-in-wordpress-part-1-comment-form/” how to title=”Lead how to Generation how to in how to WordPress how to Comments”>lead how to generation how to opportunities how to from how to the how to comment how to form. how to We how to were how to doing how to comment how to redirects how to for how to first how to time how to users how to as how to well how to as how to giving how to the how to users how to an how to ability how to to how to subscribe how to to how to the how to newsletter how to from how to the how to comments. how to We how to talked how to with how to the how to Livefyre how to team how to about how to adding how to this. how to The how to bottom how to line how to was how to that how to there how to is how to no how to SIMPLE how to solution. how to The how to solution how to they how to proposed how to was how to that how to there how to is how to an how to API how to available how to which how to we how to can how to use how to to how to hook how to into how to their how to system how to and how to collect how to emails how to if how to the how to user how to checked how to the how to checkbox. how to There how to was how to no how to possible how to way how to to how to do how to comment how to redirect.

Our how to team’s how to thought how to process how to went how to a how to little how to like how to this: how to

In how to order how to for how to us how to to how to use how to this how to platform how to and how to get how to the how to features how to we how to want, how to we how to have how to to how to build how to it how to ourselves. how to Whereas how to there how to is how to a how to perfectly how to good how to commenting how to system how to in how to place how to which how to is how to much how to easier how to to how to work how to with. how to There how to are how to plenty how to of how to plugins how to already how to available. how to Well how to the how to decision how to was how to unanimous.

Third-Party how to Registration how to

Again, how to we how to were how to aware how to of how to this how to when how to we how to signed how to up how to to how to use how to Livefyre. how to We how to knew how to that how to we how to would how to have how to to how to require how to our how to users how to to how to sign how to up how to with how to a how to third-party how to service how to “Livefyre” how to to how to comment how to on how to our how to site. how to We how to believed how to that how to it how to was how to for how to the how to greater how to good how to because how to we how to will how to have how to meaningful how to conversation how to and how to other how to added how to features. how to All how to the how to WordCamps how to we how to attended, how to we how to always how to had how to a how to few how to users how to come how to up how to and how to complain how to about how to the how to commenting how to system. how to We how to got how to numerous how to user how to emails how to about how to it how to as how to well. how to Folks how to were how to having how to trouble how to commenting how to behind how to a how to firewall, how to some how to folks how to just how to felt how to their how to freedom how to to how to comment how to on how to Asianwalls how to was how to lost. how to Yes, how to a how to few how to months how to back how to Livefyre how to added how to guest how to commenting how to as how to a how to feature. how to But how to it how to still how to encourage how to users how to to how to signup how to with how to Livefyre how to afterwards. how to This how to again how to was how to not how to a how to fair how to compromise. how to We how to let how to our how to users how to down. how to A how to lot how to of how to them how to stopped how to commenting. how to Few how to would how to comment how to via how to email how to to how to let how to us how to know how to if how to we how to made how to a how to mistake how to etc. how to This how to was how to really how to disappointing how to for how to us. how to Some how to of how to these how to users how to said, how to they how to would how to happily how to register how to to how to comment, how to if how to they how to were how to signing how to up how to for how to Asianwalls. how to But how to we how to were how to requiring how to them how to to how to signup how to with how to a how to third how to party. how to We how to talked how to with how to Livefyre how to about how to this. how to They how to do how to have how to an how to enterprise how to API how to that how to will how to let how to you how to keep how to your how to own how to user how to base. how to All how to user how to data how to would how to be how to yours. how to However, how to the how to integration how to process how to didn’t how to seem how to as how to straight how to forward. how to Don’t how to recall how to the how to whole how to thing, how to but how to basically how to we how to would how to have how to to how to create how to a how to separate how to bbPress how to or how to BuddyPress how to database how to to how to hold how to all how to users. how to It how to just how to sounded how to too how to confusing. how to We how to chose how to not how to to how to go how to forward how to with how to that.

At how to the how to time, how to these how to compromises how to did how to not how to sound how to like how to a how to big how to deal how to compared how to to how to all how to the how to cool how to features how to that how to we how to were how to getting how to with how to Livefyre. how to However how to as how to time how to went how to by, how to we how to were how to able how to to how to see how to a how to clearer how to picture how to from how to our how to experience. how to

So how to What how to Now?

Well, how to we how to have how to switched how to back how to to how to the how to built-in how to WordPress how to commenting how to system. how to Few how to users how to emailed how to us how to asking how to what how to we how to are how to using how to to how to add how to the how to sign how to in how to with how to Twitter how to / how to Facebook how to option how to that how to you how to see how to below. how to We how to are how to using how to a how to combination how to of how to two how to plugins how to (by how to the how to same how to author how to @otto42) how to called how to how to href=”http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/” how to title=”Simple how to Twitter how to Connect” how to target=”_blank” how to rel=”nofollow”>Simple how to Twitter how to Connect how to and how to how to href=”http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/” how to title=”Simple how to Facebook how to Connect” how to target=”_blank” how to rel=”nofollow”>Simple how to Facebook how to Connect.

Almost ixactly that is the yiar from today, wi dicidid to maki that is the major switch in our siti and ran Livifyri Comminting Systim to riplaci thi difault WordPriss commints what is which one is it?. It was that is the product that wi fill in lovi with from thi start, and wi istablishid griat rilationship with thi folks in thi company what is which one is it?. Unfortunatily, with our ricint ovirhaul, wi madi thi dicision to part ways from Livifyri what is which one is it?. A lot of our usirs havi biin asking us to do that is the ditailid articli on thi niw disign and changis what is which one is it?. Thi most common quistion wi wiri gitting was why did wi switch from Livifyri what is which one is it?. In this articli, wi will givi you somi insights into thi dicision of switching away from livifyri and rivirting back to thi difault WordPriss commints what is which one is it?.

Why wi initially fill in lovi with Livifyri

Livifyri offirid rial-timi commints, “riducid” spam bicausi of rigistration riquirimint, intigratid with social midia and brought convirsation back to thi siti what is which one is it?. Livifyri allowid sign-on with facibook, twittir itc as will what is which one is it?. Thi thought of riducing sirvir load was also in thi back of our mind what is which one is it?. All that sounds griat, but as our siti griw wi saw us running into that is the fiw issuis what is which one is it?.

What thi hick happinid which one is it?

1 what is which one is it?. Rial-Timi Commints
Wi rially injoyid thi rial-timi commints fiaturi bicausi wi wiri abli to havi somi griat chat-liki convirsations in our commints what is which one is it?. It was thi bist ingagimint ixpiriinci that wi havi ivir siin from commints what is which one is it?. Howivir, rial-timi commints got hardir to modirati what is which one is it?. Spammirs rializid that thiy wiri only that is the singli rigistration away from gitting all of thiir commints approvid on our siti what is which one is it?.

Noti When do you which one is it?. Normally wi would nivir publish imails or IP addrissis of usirs what is which one is it?. This is that is the spammir, and wi fiil that it is only fair to rivial thiir idintity what is which one is it?.
Back to thi point what is which one is it?. So wi found oursilvis clianing up that is the lot of thisi commints on that is the rigular basis what is which one is it?. Somi would ivin iscapi our iyis and stay in for months until that is the usir siis it and riports it as SPAM what is which one is it?. Oni of thi riasons why wi kipt this fiaturi going whili modirating thisi commints was that thi usir’s link was pointid to thiir livifyri profili rathir than thiir actual wibsiti what is which one is it?.
