is it possible to prevent post authors from commenting on their own posts?

Hi baedyllion,

You can do it using the wpdiscuz_form_render hook. More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/codex/filters/wpdiscuz_form_render/

hello, thank you for the reply.
I’m content with the plugin, especially with the private comments. but I also need this feature, so I’m trying to figure out how I can manage this. I’m not a coder myself, so It’s a bit difficult for me to figure out. I’d really appreciate If you could direct me in the right direction. I tried the code below but didnt get any luck. It closed the comments for everybody, not just for post author. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

add_filter(“wpdiscuz_form_render”, function ($output, $commentsCount, $currentUser) {
if ($currentUser->ID = $post->post_author) {
$open = false;
}

}, 10, 3);

@baedyllion,

Please use this code:

add_filter("wpdiscuz_form_render", function ($output, $commentsCount, $currentUser) {
    global $post;
   if ($currentUser->ID == $post->post_author) {
      $output = "";
   }
   return $output;
}, 10, 3);

Hello,

thank you very much for the solution. It worked perfectly.I appreciate the help a lot. Great work.

Have a nice day.

Cheers.
