Message can be shown to: * unregistered commenters when they leave text input field for e-mail address * registered commenters to whom their registered e-mail address is checked * unregistered commenters after they post a comment in a dialog, to whom their entered e-mail address is checked * registered commenters after they post a comment in a dialog, to whom their registered e-mail address is checked * registered users in administration notices, to whom their registered e-mail address is checked * registered users in admin bar, to whom their registered e-mail address is checked * registered users on their profile page, to whom their registered e-mail address is checked * users who fill registration form when they leave text input field for e-mail address Options are fully customizable. See FAQ for more information. This plugin is lightweight, it adds only one field in database which is deleted if you uninstall plugin using WordPress‘ built-in feature for deletion of plugins. Also it will only load jQuery file to head of your page if it wasn’t already loaded by theme or other plugin(s). Checks for gravatar are done via simple AJAX. If you want to speed up your web site and save on bandwidth and server resources, it is recommended that you also install plugin [Use Google Libraries](http://jasonpenney.net/wordpress-plugins/use-google-libraries/) which will load jQuery file from [Google AJAX Libraries](http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/). In order to plugin works, it needs to be on server with PHP 5 and on WordPress 2.8 or above. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings form with all expanded options⌉⌊Settings form with all expanded options⌉[ Settings form with all expanded options [⌊Message shown to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings⌉⌊ Message shown to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings⌉[ Message shown to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings [⌊Message shown to registered commenter on default theme with default settings⌉⌊ Message shown to registered commenter on default theme with default settings⌉[ Message shown to registered commenter on default theme with default settings [⌊Message shown in a dialog to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment⌉⌊Message shown in a dialog to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment⌉[ Message shown in a dialog to unregistered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment [⌊Message shown in a dialog to registered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment⌉⌊Message shown in a dialog to registered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment⌉[ Message shown in a dialog to registered commenter on default theme with default settings after posted comment [⌊Message shown in admin bar⌉⌊Message shown in admin bar⌉[ Message shown in admin bar [⌊Message shown in administration notices⌉⌊Message shown in administration notices⌉[ Message shown in administration notices [[ [⌊Message shown on a registration page with default settings⌉⌊Message shown on a registration page with default settings⌉[ Message shown on a registration page with default settings [⌊Message shown on a registration page (multisite) with default theme and default settings⌉⌊Message shown on a registration page (multisite) with default theme and default settings⌉[ Message shown on a registration page (multisite) with default theme and default settings [⌊Message shown in a bbPress reply form of a Twenty Eleven theme in line with avatar⌉⌊ Message shown in a bbPress reply form of a Twenty Eleven theme in line with avatar⌉[ Message shown in a bbPress reply form of a Twenty Eleven theme in line with avatar ## Installation 1.

You can change default options on ‚Discussion Settings‘ page ## FAQ Do I need to show message in all cases (comments, profile, registration)? No, you can select where you want to show message, you can select all cases or just one. Can I choose where on page to show message? Yes, you can choose below which elements on page to show message. There are several elements already available to choose for all cases and you can alternatively add custom element by providing it’s id. Since this plugin uses [jQuery selectors](http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors) to find element, you can add even more advanced filters for selecting. Note that all selectors start with # .

Whole message is wrapped with div with ID depending on case: * `gse_comments_message` for comment form * `gseaftercommenting` for modal * `gse_admin_notice` for administration notice * `gse_profile_message` for profile page * `gse_registration_message` for registration page * `gse_ms_signup_message` for signup page on multisite * `gse_bbpress_message` for bbPress Can I customize text of message? Yes, you can write any message you want, even use HTML tags you want. Note that you should leave link with URL placeholder if you want to show link to Gravatar’s signup page pre-filled with user’s e-mail address. Can I have different message for all cases? Yes, if you use filters. Can I translate plugin to language other than English? Yes, this plugin is fully internationalized, you can translate all text and link to locale version of Gravatar’s site.
