Hi,

I see, that “show comments by default” option from the admin panel is gone. Is there any chance that this feature will return in the near future? I was really using it.

There are few reasons behind that:

  1. Takes too much space when there are lots of comments.
  2. Slow page loading.

So, we decided to keep it hidden by default.

Is it possible to show them by a filter? Can you post some advice on how to show comments by default? I would like to do that.

I’d like to see this feature coming back to. Loading a handful of ‘teaser’ comments asynchronously and a “more” button would be perfect.

I completely agree with ptrcklpzg: load the first comments and a “more” button. It would help for posts with many comments and would be perfect for those with just a few ones. 😀

I completely agree with ptrcklpzg too!

Nonetheless there should be a option to show last 2-3 or so, and button / link to show them all, with ajaxed pagination if there is to much. That way there is just better UX overall.
