The default author role does not have the moderate_comments capabilities so you need to add that capability to the author role, so add this to your plugin: function add_theme_caps() { $role = get_role( ‘author’ ); // gets the author role $role->add_cap( ‘moderate_comments’ ); // would allow the author to moderate comments } add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘add_theme_caps’);
You have commenting turned off for logged-out users. To change this setting, visit the Settings > Discussion page in your WordPress admin and uncheck the Users must be registered and logged in to comment box. Remember to update the setting by clicking the Save Changes button.
After some more thought, I got it figured out. It involves multiple functions to go through each step of the process, but here it is: https://gist.github.com/4355955
I finally did the old school way of disabling all plugins and enabling them one by one as suggested by the Studiopress Support team and found out that ‘Genesis Simple Comments’ plugin was causing this problem. Nick, the author of the plugin said that it needs an update, so for now the issue is solved.
To prevent comments receiving add following line to your functions.php file: add_filter( ‘comments_open’, ‘__return_false’ ); And to prevent trackbacks receiving just add this snippet: add_filter( ‘pings_open’, ‘__return_false’ );
A common method to keep all the posts open for comments, is to add this line into the file functions.php in the current theme directory : add_filter(‘comments_open’, ‘__return_true’); where __return_true is just a core function that always returns true. ps: since this seems to be helpful, regarding to the problem described by @user27309, it’s better … Read more
You can store the data in the user meta as an array of post-id -> comment count at last visit and then simply count the comments since that date, for example function get_user_comment_count_since_last_visit($user_id ,$post_id){ //only do this for logged in users if ($user_id <= 0 ){ return 0; } /** * get last comment count … Read more
assumes that your theme is using comment_class(); example (to be added to functions.php of your theme): add_filter( ‘comment_class’, ‘comment_class_logged_in_user’ ); function comment_class_logged_in_user( $classes ) { global $comment; if ( $comment->user_id > 0 && is_user_logged_in() ) { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); $logged_in_user = $current_user->ID; if( $comment->user_id == $logged_in_user ) $classes[] = ‘comment-author-logged-in’; } return $classes; } requires … Read more
This is a false alarm. Many “Security Programs” do that. That’s called FUD. WordPress does not check the Referer header, because it is often empty, and real spammers send the site URL as Referer anyway. But all comment field are sanitized, so no harmful code will be injected. Install an anti-spam plugin, and everything is … Read more
You can store these values in cookies and fill them when you are creating form inputs. So in save_comment_meta_data add something like this: $commenter_data = array( ‘phone’ => $phone, … ); setcookie(‘commenter_data’, serialize($commenter_data), time()+1209600, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false); And then when you’re creating form: $commenter_data = isset($_COOKIE[‘commenter_data’]) ? unserialize($_COOKIE[‘commenter_data]) : array(); echo ‘<p class=”comment-form-title”>’. ‘<label for=”phone”>’ … Read more
