[Resolved] Hide all comments from all logged out users

[Dominik]

Hi I would love to hide all comments (the comment functions completely) from all logged out users, such as shown here: http://wpsites.net/web-design/hide-comments-logged-out-users/

Example Page: https://dotzauerinstitut.de/uebungen/klimmzuege/

I’m a GP Premium customer – should/can I use hooks? What’s the best solution for this issue?

Thank you!

Hi there,

It’s possible, but takes a little coding.

First, copy the comments.php file into your child theme.

Then find this line:

// No direct access, please
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;

And put this after it:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :

Then at the very end of the file, find this line:

</div><!-- #comments -->

And put this after it:

<?php endif; ?>

Hope this helps 🙂
