I saw a thread where someone created the following code to restrict certain member types from commenting and I was wondering how could I adjust it to restrict a certain member type from comment replying? I don’t mind if they post or if they comment…but I don’t want comment replies for specific membertypes. Also below is the code of the comment restriction. Also not sure where to post this code snippet.

/**
* Check weather user is restricted from commenting.
*
* @param int $user_id User id.
*
* @return bool
*/
function buddydev_is_restricted_commenter( $user_id ) {
// Never restrict super admin from commenting.
if ( is_super_admin( $user_id ) ) {
return false;
}

return bp_has_member_type( get_current_user_id(), ‘student’ );
}

/**
* Check user can comment or not.
*
* @param bool $can Bool.
*
* @return bool
*/
function buddydev_user_can_comment( $can ) {
$activity = new BP_Activity_Activity( bp_get_activity_id() );

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

// Do not restrict for its own activity.
if ( $activity->user_id == $user_id ) {
return $can;
}

if ( buddydev_is_restricted_commenter( $user_id ) ) {
$can = false;
}

return $can;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_can_comment’, ‘buddydev_user_can_comment’ );
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_can_comment_reply’, ‘buddydev_user_can_comment’ );
