A lightweight plugin to block comment spammers by restricting the number of comments an IP can make per day. Includes a beautiful dashboard stats widget.

== Description ==
Tired of bots submitting hundreds of spam comments in a minute and consuming your database resources? "Limit Daily Comments" is a pure, zero-configuration micro-plugin that intercepts traffic before it enters your spam box. Developed lovingly by the JetBuilder team.

Features:
* Blocks users/bots from making more than a specific amount of comments per 24 hours via the same IP.
* Ability to set a site-wide global daily comment limit to protect your server.
* Beautifully designed backend UI dashboard statistics to track your blocked hits today and total hits.
* Completely blocks connections using lightweight HTTP Error 429 (Too Many Requests), avoiding database server overload.
* Bypasses Admins automatically.
* Compatible with CDNs like Cloudflare (correctly retrieves X-Forwarded-For IP).
* Extremely fast logic with zero overhead footprint.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/limit-daily-comments` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Head over to Settings -> Limit Daily Comments to configure your rules. Done!
