In a template file that I am using as page, I want to allow only 2 users to post comments and allow to all other users to only see these comments( not allow them add comments).

my template file is:

<?php get_header();  ?>

<?php 
if (get_current_user_id()==1 or get_current_user_id()==2 ) {

comments_template( '', true );
                    }
else
{
comments_template( '/comments-with-no-form.php', true );

} ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Normally, when I remove comments_template from single.php, or just remove the <?php comment_form(); ?> from comments.php, changes apply. But in separate template file, nothing is working. The file comments-with-no-form.php is never executed (only style of comments.php changes).

Your help is appreciated.

This if statement is really wrong :

if (get_current_user_id()==1 or get_current_user_id()==2

should be :

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ($user_id==1 || $user_id==2 )

  • I was wrong this is not due to or but the way you called get_current_user_id() and use it. Sorry :/
