I found another piece of code on the internet which I have modified to work.
add_filter('the_comments', 'edit_comments_filter_comments');
function edit_comments_filter_comments($comments){
global $pagenow;
$currentuserid = get_current_user_id();
if($pagenow == 'edit-comments.php' && !current_user_can('edit_others_posts')){
foreach($comments as $i => $comment){
$the_post = get_post($comment->comment_post_ID);
if($comment->user_id != $currentuserid && $the_post->post_author != $currentuserid)
unset($comments[$i]);
}
}
return $comments;
}
As I understand it, this takes the comments pulled in by the query and checks them before displaying them.
