comments

When you use Disqus you are in a way giving away the control to that company. The module is indeed very nicely built, you can access Disqus admin section from within your WP admin panel, but like I said; you are handing over the “root control” to Disqus.

You can try to modify the query using the comments_clauses filter: $args = array( ‘user_id’ => 0 ); add_filter( ‘comments_clauses’, ‘custom_comments_clauses’); $comments = get_comments( $args ); remove_filter( ‘comments_clauses’, ‘custom_comments_clauses’); function custom_comments_clauses( $clauses ){ $clauses[‘where’] = str_replace( ‘user_id = 0’, ‘user_id IN (1, 2, 3)’, $clauses[‘where’] ); return $clauses; } Update: You could also add a … Read more

is_page() is not available at that point try using global $post that way the post ID should be available for comparison. add_filter( ‘preprocess_comment’, ‘wpb_preprocess_comment’ ); function wpb_preprocess_comment($comment) { global $post; if ((strlen( $comment[‘comment_content’] ) < 60 ) && ($post->ID == 42)) { wp_die(‘Minimum allowed comment length is 60 characters.’); } return $comment; }

Yes, possible. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file- add_filter( ‘get_comment_text’, ‘replace_comment_texts’ ); function replace_comment_texts() { return “This comment is hidden”; } I have written a plugin few days back, that does the exact thing. You can try this too- https://wordpress.org/plugins/mask-comments/

From the Disqus plugin core: // Only replace comments if the disqus_forum_url option is set. add_filter(‘comments_template’, ‘dsq_comments_template’); Which certainly implies that Disqus uses the <?php comments_template(); ?> include to include it’s own files, so I would advise leaving it where it is 🙂
