Press release 12th December 2018
Civitas Marketing Limited (The owner of Elegant Marketplace and Layouts Cloud)
Have taken over the Management and enhancement of THE most popular commenting and backlinking WordPress plugin for bloggers – COMMENTLUV
COMMENTLUV has over a million users of both the premium and free version so its no small task to maintain a service level on that scale.
Andy Bailey the creator of COMMENTLUV has allowed us to do this for two reasons.
6 Years ago Andy B was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis His coding projects inevitably suffered from a lack of attention due to the debilitating nature of the disease and has now, pretty much, come to a halt. Andy B is of course disappointed with the situation to say the least but, remains ever cheerful and deals with the trials and tribulations of MS with great humor and a solid frame of mind.
Enter Andy B’s Uncle – Andrew Palmer the ultimate owner of Elegant Marketplace and Layouts Cloud.
Andy B needed a trusted resource to take over the helm of running a massively popular plugin. There can be no more connected person than an Uncle who is both proud of his Nephews development skills and the success that COMMENTLUV enjoyed. Together with his best friend and business partner Sean Barton, Andrew has taken over the management, development and hosting of COMMENTLUV as of the 12 December 2018.
In the coming weeks;
- Sean and Andrew will be developing a brand-new website
- Give a much-needed facelift to COMMENTLUV
- Change the licensing model of the premium version to an annual subscription in order to maintain a great support infrastructure
- Invite previous users to sign up at a super discounted rate
- Set up a Closed Facebook Peer to Peer Support Group
AND, most importantly – maintain Andy B’s legacy of producing the most popular commenting plugin out there.

Hello,
I hope Andy B is doing a well as possible.
How do I get on the list for “a mad discount to all previous premium users”?
Thanks
Hi Sandra, the link to the sign up is above – it won’t be much as we are doing an annual subscription – new update is going to be out very soon as we are working on it this week
This is great news. Will you be honoring previous clients from Andy and will you share some tips also.
I can’t wait for the new version of the plugin to launch as I am looking for a way to put comments on my blog that is better than the normal WP Comments. Is there a release date yet as the last time I looked everything had just said “soon”!
I’m so very excited you’re revitalizing an excellent resource. I’m looking forward to finding out more about the Pro version soon.
Hi Andrew,
All the best on your revamping the plug-in. I hope it will get fully revitalized!
Thanks so much. We are nearly there – 🙂
So, you aren’t honoring the customers who have already paid for the premium version?
As I said previously. We are redeveloping a pretty much-deprecated plugin. We have cleaned it up – published the new free version on .org and are working our way through the premium version to see what we add, delete and improve. The previous version of CommentLuv reached the end of life and as the new owners and developers, we regard it as a new plugin. Having said that, we will certainly be looking at how we can help previously signed up customers to benefit from our new iteration.
This is great news. Will you be honoring previous clients from Andy? Hopefully yes, looking forward to seeing this come back to life. Wishing Andy well.
We cannot guarantee that as we are now updating the plugin to be fully compatible with – well, everything. What are doing is giving a mad discount to all previous premium users. Sign up to the mailing list to be kept informed.
