I thought WP forced every commenter to leave a username. If not, is there a way to require this, ie. refuse to publish without a username?

It’s far too confusing to have scores of “Anonymous” commenter usernames floating around the comment threads.

Is this behavior dictated by WP or by my blog theme?

I’m not using this in a bad way. I’ve made my theme so that all comments are hidden to non admins. Only admins can see the comments. Other users can see the comment form but not their comment… I’m using this as a contact form and I want the admin to be able to reply by email to the commenter at the front end.

I want to keep a page’s comment section visible and open to the public to post comments, But I don’t want anyone except the admins to be able to view the submitted comments. I don’t even want the commenter to see their submitted posts.

Would anyone have a snippet of code for this?

Thanks,

The Commenter name, profile link and comments work perfect. Just it show wordpress default gravatar.

Possible to use commenter facebook profile picture as the Avatar rather than the default wordpress Gravatars?

Thanks in advance.

Would anyone know if there is a plug-in for creating and maintaining a Commenter’s calendar on my wordpress blog?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

I’m using wordpress 3.4.1

I have tried several things but I’m not a coder and can’t seem to get this to work.

This applies to already logged in users:

I need a post author to see his own and all other comments to his post.

I need commenters to this post to see only their own comments (not those of the other commenters) and those of the post author.

The code I’ve got so far is this:

<?php
global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
$author=get_comment_author();
if($author == $current_user->ID):
?>
'comments you need to show'
<?php endif; ?>

Does anybody know how to make this work?
I am aware of the fact this would not yet show the post author comments as well if the current user isn’t the post author, but I didn’t even get that far yet.

I’m using a very similar code in archive.php, which only shows the posts of the currently logged in user. This code works and looks like this:

<?php
global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
if($post->post_author == $current_user->ID):
?> 

'show only the posts of the logged in user'

<?php endif; ?>

Now in the most ideal situation I also need the commenters to upload files (PDF’s), but I would be very happy if the first ‘filtered comment part’ works

I want to code into my origin wordpress theme the ability to notify a commenter regarding a reply they received for their comment.

I do not want to use a plugin since that will just increase the loading time,etc.

Any hints?
