    Hello, I’m trying to figure out a problem I have.

    I need to prevent my users from commenting on a post after that post received 15 numbers of comments. In a way I want to set the maximum number of comments a post can get. After that number is reached, I want the comments to be disabled for that specific post.

    Is there a way to accomplish this ? I’ve been searching the right codes for this by experimenting some codes but didnt get any luck so far.

    I would really appreciate it If someone could help me with this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers.

    Hello thanks for the reply. I checked the plugin. It looks a solid one but I’m looking for a way to set a quota for posts in terms of amount of comments they can get. For example:

    If the quota is 15;
    Comments will automatically be closed after 15 comments are submitted to posts

    If the post has 14 comments;
    To comment on that post will be allowed.

    So the limitation will not be on the users or user roles but It will be on the posts.
    Thank you for the suggestion though.

    I tried the code below to make it work but when I change the comment-template.php It gives a critical error when I add a new post.

    if(get_comments_count($post_id)>15) $open=false;

    Cheers.
