Pre Sale Support
I want the voice feature you guys offer I saw it was 30 dollars but you have to have wpdiscuz plugin. I don’t see a stand alone version of the wpdiscuz plugin I see bundles so you have to buy a bundle and then the voice feature separately.

Hi! I have two quetsions:
1. This is enabled on mobile device through the rich text editor, right? If I have rich text editor off on mobile, people on mobile can’t voice commenting?
2. Where does the voice save? WP media library?
Hi Pagna,
It works with the rich text editor off. You can check it here: https://addons.wpdiscuz.com/wpdiscuz-voice-commenting/
It can be found as all the other comments. In the Dashboard > Comments section.
I had the same question – I think Pagna wanted to know where the audio files go – they go to a folder that wp discuz creates under wp-content/uploads 🙂
Hi,
Please read my answer here: https://gvectors.com/forum/postid/30746/
Hello,
in this answer you linked above, it says that the audio files are stored in the database. Is it still the case? Wouldn’t that be a real burden for the database and might cause performance issues on large websites?
Why not store the audio file in a folder and just keep the link to those files in the database?
Thanks for your answer,
Alb
Hi,
In the database tables, only the file paths are stored, not the actual files. The files themselves are located in the wp-content/uploads folder.
