Hello,
I've added some fields to the comment form. I would like the values of these fields in the comment list to be visible only to users connected to Wordpress. Is it possible to do this?
I look forward to hearing from you,

Thank you for your responsiveness. However, I would like everyone to complete it (logged in or not) but only logged in users can see this field in the list of comments (This is private data but useful for administrators).
You can use the CSS code provided below:
.wpdiscuz_unauth .wpd-custom-field.yourCustomfieldClassname {display :none !important;}
Just change the yourCustomfieldClassname to the one you've created. Each field has its specific classname.
Insert the code in the "Custom CSS code" textarea, located in the Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > Styles & Colors admin page.
Don't forget to delete the caches before checking.

Thank you for your reply. This solution, although visually perfect, seems to me very risky and not very recommended for the protection of users' private data (one look in the HTML code with the inspector and everything is visible). Don't you have an idea for a more suitable solution (Filter , Action...)?
You can use JavaScript code:
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
jQuery('.wpdiscuz_unauth .wpd-custom-field.yourCustomfieldClassname ').remove();
});

Thanks for this solution, which already seems more secure. However, isn't it really possible to do this not in JS but in functions.php in order to be completely secure?
I'll check with the developers to see if they can provide a solution for you. I'll update this topic as soon as I have more information.
The developers will add a new hook. Once the new version of the wpDiscuz plugin is released, you'll be able to use the PHP code.

Thanks for the good news 🙂 Another question: is it possible for logged-in users to see commenters' e-mail addresses?
