Description

Previously: #16994, #492, #13657, #8078, #12550

CommentPress has gone through several iterations over the last 14+ years, and the Commons currently has a couple different versions in the codebase. The plugin is no longer available via wordpress.org, so it may well be abandoned. https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/

I'd like to clean this up somehow. Scott, as a starting point, could I ask you to have a look at the current situation and let me know the following:

1. See whether sites running the old cp-ajax-comments plugin are working. We were supposed to migrate away from this versions of CP back in #8078, but we left the old version in place. If it doesn't work at all, I'd like to remove it. Here are some sites to check:

2. Does the new CommentPress work? I don't really know what this means - I think it means activating CommentPress Core and then a CommentPress-friendly theme. If it's fully broken, let's see if it's possible to remove it. If it works but is bad, let's hide it. Some sites running commentpress-core:
