Limited Support
Our team is currently on holiday, so support will be limited during this period. Response times may be slower than usual, and some inquiries may be delayed.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’ll resume our usual support by the end of August.
We are trying to modify the plugin functionality. We don't find any hook or filter to disable the comment form for a specific user.
If we add a filter here then we can achieve what we want.
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.
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.
the hook you can use is provided below:
