What it solves
The problem
Our readers have no place to discuss articles under editorial moderation.
What your site gets
The site has moderated discussions attached to its content.
Questions buyers ask
- Which comments appear publicly?
- Visitors read and reply to approved threads. Approval follows the effective verification policy and parent status.
- Can editors inspect submitted text?
- Moderation context shows the complete submitted text before moderation.
- How is a waiting submission recovered?
- A comment-specific verification resend can recover the selected submission without publishing it.
Use it in your project
Add public discussion where conversation helps the page. Editors decide which contributions become visible and can review moderation history afterwards.
Picture it on your site
For a discussion beneath a guide, agree what a useful contribution looks like and who moderates it before inviting readers. Try both an accepted comment and one that should stay unpublished. A discussion area earns its place when someone can maintain it, rather than leaving visitors with an unattended channel for questions.

Is this right for your project?
Give responses an owner
Collecting a message is only useful when somebody knows what to do next. Decide who reviews incoming activity, what a visitor should hear back and when a record can be closed or removed. The package can provide the supported collection or moderation workflow; your team supplies response times, escalation rules and the tone of the conversation.
Follow a visitor through the workflow
Try the public interaction as a visitor, then find the resulting record in the admin and complete the staff task. Check validation, permissions and what happens when a response cannot be delivered. This is a better launch check than testing the form alone, because it proves that the interaction reaches the people responsible for handling it.
One customer organisation; up to 5 named users. Each entitlement covers one production website or application and up to two non-production environments, with a maximum of three active installations.
12 months of protected downloads, updates and included standard support.
You may ask Capell for a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Requests are assessed case by case against the recorded order, access and support history. This applies to live paid first-party packages; third-party author sales have separate terms. Read the Refund Policy
Renewal is charged at the price current when you renew. The price is shown before you pay.
Marketplace listings can describe install impact and data access.
This installs as a Composer package. Check its removal guidance and retained-data policy before uninstalling it.
Paid checkout adds access to the purchasing account after payment. Review compatibility and site impact, then follow the installation steps for this package.
This listing has no page of its own in the demo. Open the demo to see Capell running.
Before you install
Review the impact below before running the commands in a covered Capell application, starting with a non-production environment. Required dependencies are listed above.
- Admin and public surfaces
- The package declares: administration screens, frontend integration, public routes. Review the release documentation for configuration and exposure in your application.
- Data and migrations
- Database migrations are declared. The installation flow can change your database; back up data and review the release migrations before installing. Uses package-local configuration and Capell metadata needed to enable the feature.
- Background work
- A complete jobs and scheduler assessment is not available here. Confirm background processing and worker requirements with the publisher.
- Access controls
- Package access controls are declared. Review role grants and the host authorisation configuration before allowing users into the new workflow.
- Removal and retained data
- A verified uninstall and retained-data assessment is not available here. Removing the Composer package does not establish that its data is deleted. Confirm cleanup, retention and dependencies with the publisher before removal.

Areas reviewed
- Strict, maintainable PHP

- Compatibility and interoperability
- Meaningful behavioural tests

Accepted limitations
- Comment author verification relies on emailed links, so a site with outbound mail misconfigured will hold new authors in an unverified state. Cross-package integration was not exercised by this per-package review; the local suites used SQLite, and live browser flows and server-database behaviour were not exercised. The MySQL/MariaDB-specific timestamp-repair branch was reviewed in source but was not executed by this SQLite attestation run.
Access follows the account that owns the extension. Review the release trail and verification evidence here before installing.

Before checkout
Know who owns access and what happens next
Payment, customer account ownership, site activation, and package access are separate steps. The checkout reference lets support trace a problem without moving the licence to another account.
Who processes the payment and taxes?
Lemon Squeezy is the seller and hosts paid marketplace checkout. Any VAT due is calculated and added by Lemon Squeezy at checkout, and Lemon Squeezy issues the tax receipt. Capell does not collect card details; it activates the matching marketplace licence after payment is confirmed.
Which account owns the licence?
The signed-in customer account that completes checkout owns the Capell licence, support history, and future install access. Capell surfaces a link to the tax receipt issued by Lemon Squeezy. Use the intended organisation account before paying.
How does the site receive package access?
The install flow connects the licence to the requesting site. Paid and private packages then use authenticated Composer access from the customer account that owns the licence.
What happens if checkout is cancelled or expires?
No licence is created until Lemon Squeezy confirms payment. After a cancellation or expired quote, return to the same marketplace listing and start a fresh checkout so price and package details are recalculated.
How do I request a refund?
There is no self-service refund button. Email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase with the account email, the order or receipt reference, the package and your reason. Capell reviews the recorded purchase and, where approved, submits the refund through Lemon Squeezy. Read the Refund Policy
What should I do if access does not appear?
Keep the checkout reference from the page or receipt and contact support before trying another account. Support can trace the payment, customer account, licence, and connected site from that reference.
