comments_where Hook
Yes, a quick search of developer.wordpress.org reveals comment_feed_where. Note that this won’t work with get_posts unless suppress filters is turned off, and that what you’re trying to do is going to be very slow with some unreliability.

How is the author’s name given a different color?

How to make comments private for commentor and post author

I tried to write an example, though I haven’t tested it, but it would be similar to this: add_action( ‘pre_get_comments’, ‘author_and_self_comment_filter’ ); function author_and_self_filter( \WP_Comment_Query $query ) : void { // We … Read more

How to query comments only for the current post?
Your arguments for the comment query is empty, so it returns every comment on the planet. You should specify the post ID, to get comments that belong to that post. $args = array( ‘post_id’ => get_the_ID(), ); Take a look into the codex page for more information about arguments.
Exclude child comments in get_comments() or WP_Comment_Query?
This should do the trick, I guess: $args = array( ‘number’ => 10, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘status’ => ‘approve’, ‘parent’ => 0 ); $comments = get_comments( $args ); You can find full list of arguments in Codex.
How would I count the number of times a comment meta field’s value is in a post’s entire comments?
You should be able to do a meta_query in a WP_Comment_Query(): $args = array( ‘post_id’ => ‘post-id-here’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘fish’, ‘value’ => ‘shark’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ ) ) ); // Query the comments $comment_query = new WP_Comment_Query( $args ); // Count the number of comments $count = count ( $comment_query ); … Read more
