Pro is additive. It never replaces the free plugin’s Comments, Reports, or Settings resources.
The installer detects a missing CommentifyProPlugin in app/Providers/Filament/*.php and prints this snippet rather than rewriting the provider (a mangled panel file would take the whole admin down). Filament is optional. composer.json suggests filament/filament ^4.0|^5.0.

Free plugin (core)

  • Comments — edit, delete, approve / disapprove, bulk actions, filters (user, parent/child, approval)
  • Comment reports — pending / reviewed / dismissed, reporter, reason, IP
  • Commentify Settings — most core flags from the panel (allow_guests stays in config)

Pro plugin

Navigation group Commentify.

Moderation queue (commentify-moderation-queue)

Same Comment model, dedicated table. Badge shows pending count. Columns: id, author (Guest if none), body excerpt, approved, reports badge, commentable type, created at. Filters: pending only, has reports, contains links (http in body), commentable type. Record actions: Bulk: approve, unapprove, delete, ban — all go through Moderator so the audit log cannot drift.

Spam log (commentify-spam-logs)

Pipeline verdicts (review / deny), excerpt, checker, reasons, user id. Not spam — re-approves the matched held comment and submits ham to Akismet. See Spam pipeline.

Moderation audit (commentify-mod-actions)

Who did what: approve, unapprove, delete, ban_author, not_spam, not_spam_unmatched, plus pin / unpin from the queue. Moderator name, comment id, timestamp. The table filter lists the first five; pin rows still appear in the log.

Widgets

  • Pending moderation stat (cached count of is_approved = false)
  • Comments per day chart
Registering the plugin adds these to the panel. They sit on the dashboard with your other widgets.

Policies

Filament actions should remain consistent with Livewire and the API: same CommentPolicy, same bans. Do not bypass Moderator if you add custom actions — that class is the audit funnel.
