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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
