Welcome @janew, happy to know it worked!

Yeah, it will become a bit easier with Gutenberg and full site editing, but from that point on, the code will still do wonders … it always does 🙂

Have a great day,
Alex.

Hi @janew , that could be easily done by adding an IF in the mo_remove_default_comment_field() function, checking for is_user_logged_in() condition or something similar.

If you need help with that please open a new topic and mention me there and I’ll have a closer look – just to avoid any trouble we both could get in by “hijacking” an old topic 🙂

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi @mgo3, that would be possible with a Marketplace plugin, sometimes called Multi Vendor.
Woocommerce has one here and there are quite a few others, like Dokan, WCFM Marketplace, WC Marketplace etc.
These, coupled with some incentive/gamification features like free samples or affiliate coupons (if your sellers agrees of course), can become a very powerful selling tool 😉

Hi @wpguillaume, planning is done, only need to find the time to write the code, test it and deploy it. Sorry for delay, things became crowded here and side projects take longer than I’d like now ..

Have a great week!
Alex.

You’re welcome & thanks for feedback! 🙂

Now, making the Name required would need that part of form to be rewritten, but even though a visitor can write just about anything there, like “Anonymous” for example which is otherwise default – so not sure if that would be useful in the long run.
Thing is, the whole mechanism with email and user registration is in place to make sure the commenters are real users.

For the other issue plese look in Settings -> Discussion for an option named “Comment must be manually approved”. If that is activated then that’s the cause, please deactivate it and and submit a comment to see if that solves it.

Have a wonderful day!
Alex.

Hi Damien, glad to hear that!

The UI can be easily styled because it’s in the front end actually and any custom CSS code added in Customizer will do 😉
Had no idea that USP already offers size limits, I believe it didn’t long time ago – thanks for heads up!

Hi Kanger,

First thing coming to my mind is how did you disabled the child theme without access to wp-admin? 🙂

Now, assuming you have FTP or some other kind of file access to the website the best way is to enable debug mode and look in the log file,
For this open the wp-config.php file situated in the root of your website and replace anything you have about debug there ( by default one line: “define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);” ) with these:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );

Then make sure you have the troublesome child theme active, go to your wp-admin page (that will be blank), then open the “debug.log” file inside the /wp-content/ directory – there will be the thing that caused the blank screen.
Don’t forget to change back “‘WP_DEBUG’, false” when finished 😉

Another place to search for information about this is the web server logs (Apache?) – access to this log is provided by your hosting provider somewhere in your web hosting control panel.

Good luck!
Alex.

Hi Sam,

Please add the following code in the functions.php file of your child theme to change the commenter “Name” into “Nickname”:

// change "Name" label in comments form
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'mo_comment_name_field_custom_html' );
function mo_comment_name_field_custom_html( $fields ) {
	// first unset the existing author field:
	unset( $fields['author'] );
	// ... then re-define it as needed:
	$new_author = '<p class="comment-form-author">' . '<label for="author">' . __( 'Nickname', 'textdomain'  ) . ( $req ? ' <span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '</label> ' .
			'<input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30" maxlength="245"' . $aria_req . $html_req . ' /></p>';
	// ... and put it on top of the fields array:
	array_unshift($fields, $new_author);
	// done customizing, now return the fields:
	return $fields;
}

I would appreciate a bit of feedback on these last 2 changes: are they working as expected on your website?

Thanks!
Alex
