Can non-logged users leave comments?
Even people who are not currently logged in can leave comments.
In the WordPress site settings, people who are not logged in cannot leave comments, so if you disable the plugin, you cannot leave comments unless you log in in general comments.
However, if the plugin is activated, users who are not logged in can also leave comments.
Is there no special setting in the plugin?
Hi @cshj55,
Please navigate to Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Forms admin page, edit the form (by default it's called "Default Form") and configure the "Allow guests to comment" option.
