I want to make it so that anyone visiting my website can see the comments on articles, but ONLY certain Memberpress memberships can actually comment. It seems like this should be easy but I just can't figure it out. Please help.

Hi,
Please check out the wpDiscuz "Disable commenting for roles" option. For more information, please visit: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/getting-started/manage-comment-forms/comment-form-settings/#disable_commenting_for_roles

@asti Thanks for the suggestion but it still does not work. I went to the default form (only form) and checked "NO" under "Allow guests to comment and I checked "Yes" under "Allow guests to view comments." Unfortunately guests can still not see the comments under the articles.
Any other ideas??

@asti Check out this article https://smallwarsjournal.com/2025/05/12/north-korean-special-forces/ If you visit the site as a guest you will not see the comments. When I login as a member, I can see the comments and I am able to make comments. I want to make it so that guests can see the comments made by members, but will not be able to comment themselves unless they become a member.
We don't find such an issue on our test websites. Could you please send the admin login details to info[at]gvectors.com email address? I'll ask the developers to check the issue for you.
