About this Plugin

Gwolle Guestbook is the WordPress guestbook you’ve just been looking for. Beautiful and easy. Gwolle Guestbook is not just another guestbook for WordPress. The goal is to provide an easy and slim way to integrate a guestbook into your WordPress powered site. Don’t use your ‘comment’ section the wrong way – install Gwolle Guestbook and have a real guestbook.

Static WordPress Challenge

Static pages can display the guestbook content captured during export, but new submissions, moderation processing, live refresh, previews, and other AJAX-powered behavior require a live WordPress origin or proxy such as Static Studio. If login-only posting is enabled, guests will see the configured login-required message and cannot submit.
