Hello,

I have a site with many old posts with new posts set to close comments automatically after 21 days (via a setting in WordPress). However if you visit an old post where the comments are closed, you can still vote. Which is kind of a weird interaction on "frozen" content and could be abused. Is there a way to prevent voting of comments once comments are closed for a given post?

Hi @ckoerner,

We'll add a new class in the wpDiscuz HTML template, so you'll be able to hide those buttons via CSS or JS code. Please wait for the next update.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.
