wpDiscuz – Online Users for WordPress

You’ve seen it happen — someone lands on your post, reads the comments, then leaves without saying anything. They weren’t opposed to joining. They just didn’t know anyone was there.

wpDiscuz – Online Users flips that script. It shows visitors exactly who’s currently browsing your site in real-time. One small addition that creates social proof, turning passive readers into active commenters.

What It Does

Live tracking appears across your WordPress site. Visitors see exactly how many people are viewing or engaging with content right now. That visibility builds trust and nudges silent readers toward participation.

• Online visitor count on posts and pages
• Avatars and display names for logged-in users
• Sidebar or footer widget placement
• Admin dashboard tracking active users
• Shortcode for custom placement

Key Features

You’re in control. Pick your display style — avatar grids, compact lists, or simple counters. Set how often the count updates so you’re not hammering your server. And users can opt out of appearing in the online list if they value their privacy.

• Display styles: avatars, names, or counters
• Customizable refresh rates for performance tuning
• Privacy toggles and opt-out capability
• Compatible with any WordPress theme
• Minimal drag on page load

Who It’s For

Bloggers running active comment sections see the biggest impact here. Membership sites can show members who’s currently online. News sites display reader activity. Even small sites benefit from that “alive” feeling.

How To Use It

Standard WordPress install. Head to wpDiscuz settings, pick your display options, drag the widget into your sidebar, or drop the shortcode wherever you need it. No code. No templates to edit.

Why Get This Extension

Social proof works. When people see real humans are present on your site, they stick around longer and interact more. This extension adds that proven engagement tactic in about five minutes of setup.

Commercial license included. Use it on unlimited client sites or personal projects. Pay once, updates for life.
