Save Name/Email Comments Checkbox Default State

Hi there,

This is handled by WordPress itself so something like this might help:
https://www.webfulcreations.com/remove-or-edit-save-my-name-email-and-website-in-this-browser-for-the-next-time-i-comment/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/checkbox

Hi Leo, thank you. This worked, for anyone who might need it in the future (I adjusted the code that was hiding the website input):

add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', function( $fields ) {
    $commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();

    $consent   = empty( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) ? '' : ' checked="checked"';

    $fields['cookies'] = '<p class="comment-form-cookies-consent"><input id="wp-comment-cookies-consent" name="wp-comment-cookies-consent" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="yes"' . $consent . ' />' . '<label for="wp-comment-cookies-consent">Save my name and email in this browser for the next time I comment.</label></p>';

    return $fields;
}, 20 );

Glad you've figured out :)
