Hi
Starting with version 7.6.30 the filter wpdiscuz_comment_author no longer works. We were using this to change the author display name, to be anonymous, based on some custom user fields. This now no longer works.
The version 7.6.29 and all prior versions works fine.
Using your demo code found here https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/codex/filters/wpdiscuz_comment_author/ :
add_filter(“wpdiscuz_comment_author”, function ($authorName, $comment) {
$authorName = “Boss”;
return $authorName;
}, 10, 2);
This now longer works either, and “Boss” is not used on any comments that are returned via the AJAX request.
If someone could please look into this, as for now, we are locked at 7.6.29.
Just wanted to say, it's not just you. Doing it for me too. I use it to display the comment count for each comment author.
@aptharsia I managed to fix this by changing the priority of the hook. For me this worked:
add_filter(“wpdiscuz_comment_author”, function ($authorName, $comment) {
$authorName = “Boss”;
return $authorName;
}, 10000, 2);
Obviously change it what will work for you (and your code).
This fix is very change as there is no other usage of the wpdiscuz_comment_author hook within the theme and / or other plugins and does the same on a blank theme.
