Index:
Epoch
If you are tired of the classic comment form Divi then install Epoch right away. It is currently one of the best plugins dedicated to comments and, in my opinion, is much better than its famous rival Disqus. It’s loading speed, full compatibility with any theme (integrates natively with WordPress) with page caching, CDN, good experience from mobile and ease of use, makes it a great plugin.
It also integrates with the extremely useful plugin Postmatic, allowing response to comments on the blog directly from your mailbox.
Wp-Courseware (Premium)
With WP Courseware you can create a section of a website with courses, modules and classes, multimedia classes, certificate of completion, import and export of the course, quizzes, and more.
Also, it offers many ingrain with third party services like WooCommerce, MemberPress, S2Member, WishList Member and others.
