Hi @owhited
For the IP, you can use the ‘get_comment_author_IP’ hook:
function lp_remove_IP_for_user( $comment_author_IP, $comment_ID, $comment ) {
if ( ! is_admin() ) return $comment_author_IP; // only do this on admin, though with this particular function, it probably only applies to admin at all
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) return '';
return $comment_author_IP;
}
add_filter( 'get_comment_author_IP', 'lp_remove_IP_for_user', 10, 3 );
For email address:
function lp_remove_email_for_user( $comment_author_email, $comment ) {
if ( ! is_admin() ) return $comment_author_email; // only do this on admin, though it still (maybe) shows on the front end
if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) return '';
return $comment_author_email;
}
add_filter( 'comment_email', 'lp_remove_email_for_user', 10, 2 );
For both of these examples I used “manage_options” as the desired minimum WP capability (admin). You can edit using WP roles as discussed/listed here. For ‘editor’ role minimum, you might change it to say ‘edit_pages’ where it says ‘manage_options’.
There are other ways of going about this, but this is pretty simple if you can add the code to your (child) theme functions.php file or by using a plugin like PHP Code Snippets.
