Concern On “My Content and Settings”

    I notice when the toggles are turned on under “My Content and Settings” the user has the ability to bulk delete all of their comments from the site.

    While I understand this is a part of GDPR compliance, this is not the only option. Testing the process myself, it seems very vague what will occur. I think non-tech users may accidentally delete their comments which will lead me to having to restore them. It seems very easy to bulk delete comments as a user. Vague when the email confirmation comes through as well.

    I think this should be removed from the front end and would be best left as a request to the administrator of the site.

    To put this in perspective in the WP world, a post author does not have a way to delete all of their posts without the approval of the site admin. Yet, this is still GDPR compliant.

    A user simply needs access to their data, and a way for it to be removed. We can accomplish that without this front end method. I would love the current method to be changed. It would be great to enable some of the features under “My Content and Settings”, but it will be an admin nightmare when someone accidentally deletes all their comments.

    Thanks guys.

    Hi @bward,

    I think this should be removed from the front end ….

    Please use the following CSS code to hide the “Delete this comment” button:

    .wpd-wrapper #wpd-content-item-1 .wpd-item-right i, .wpd-wrapper #wpd-content-item-2 .wpd-item-right i {
    display: none !important;
}
.wpd-wrapper #wpd-content-item-1 .wpd-item-left{
    border-right: none;
}

    The CSS code should be added in the Dashboard > Comments > wpDiscuz > Settings > Styles and Colors admin page, “Custom CSS Code” textarea.

    Please don’t forget to delete all caches and press CTRL+F5(twice) on the frontend before checking.

    Thanks so much for the help!

    You got me on the right track. I was able to modify the bulk comment delete option. I will share the css rules for others.

    /* hides bulk delete comment section */
    .wpd-wrapper .wpd-user-email-delete-links {display: none;}
    .wpd-bulk-desc {display: none;}

    /* hides individual delete comment option */
    .wpd-wrapper #wpd-content-item-1 .wpd-item-right {display: none;}
