 * Is there a way to hide discussions/comments for anonymous visitors?
 * I only want registered & logged in users to be able to read discussions/comments,
   but couldn’t find options and plugins…

 * Look harder under your options > general.

 * That’s only for posting comments… Anonymous users can still read comments, even
   if that option is turned on.

       if (is_user_logged_in())
       	comments_template();
       else
       	echo "You can see comments when you have signed in.";
       ```
