[Solved] How to hide the comment form for a specific user instead of user role?

@faltushamim,

You should add the custom code in the theme template files and not call the comments_template() function for the current user. 

We have some user permission system. Some users can post only public comments and some can post only private comments. We need a way to hide the comment form only from specific users. So the users can't see the submission form but can see the comments. If I follow your suggestion then the whole comment system will be hidden which is not the thing we want.

@faltushamim,

We may suggest the following solution:

• Install some user role creator plugin,
• Create some new user role, e.g. "Restrict comment"
• Change those users' user role to "Restrict comment" 
• Then hide the comment form for this user role in wpDiscuz plugin settings. 

I do know that I can achieve by following your suggestion. In our case we need a way to to hide the form programmatically. If we have a filter in the line that I showed, we can do that easily without modifying the wpdiscuz plugin.

@faltushamim,

the hook you can use is provided below:

I missed that hook. I think It will work. Thank you very much.
