Limit comment length by setting minimum and maximum character rules for WordPress comments.

== Description ==

Comment Limiter helps site owners control the length of comments submitted on their WordPress site.

With this plugin, you can define minimum and maximum character limits for comments, helping reduce low-effort comments, spam-like submissions, and overly long responses.

This is useful for blogs, communities, review sections, and any site where comment quality matters.

== Installation ==

2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
