Help to remove "Must be logged in to reply" link in comments

[Karl1]

Hi, anyone knows how can I remove the link on the comments, the one that says that you must be logged in to reply.
I need to leave the text without the link

thanks

No clue. That text is Theme-specific.

@chip : I think you are wrong.

@Karl1 : Click on [Settings] then go on [Discussion] then [Other comment settings] and uncheck [Users must be registered and logged in to comment].

Hi Miroslav, I guess I didn't explain myself. I don't want to let everyone to comment. Only the registered users.
Usually in a comments thread if you are not logged in, you have the message that says that you must be logged in to comment and in every existent comment there's also a reply to this comment.
As for the very last at the bottom, I could remove the link by modifying the comments.php , but the reply to this comment I cannot find it
Please check screenshot

-What you explain in your message will let anyone to comment on

Maybe your comment form is rendered by the comment_form() template tag, so you looking at comment-template.php you can try something like this:

 function my_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
    $defaults['must_log_in'] = ''; // or whatever you want it to say
    return $defaults;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'my_comment_form_defaults' );

No. He's asking how to remove the text, not the functionality.

Unfortunately, without knowing what Theme he's using, there is absolutely no way to give the OP specific instructions for modifying/removing that content.

That said: Konstantin is probably correct. If I had to guess, I'd say the OP is using Twenty Eleven - in which case, the "must be logged in" text is coming from the `comment_form()` function, and can be removed using the filter, as he suggests.

hey,
I'm using Phenomenon theme from Bluzz, and I need just to remove the link as this is a closed site (only clients can comment), I mean, the blog side the public can see (but not reply or comment), and if they click in the reply link it will forward them to the WP default login page (I need to avoid that), if you see the theme you will see a login button in the top right already.
**So, basically I want to leave the text without the link

Maybe your comment form is rendered by the comment_form() template tag, so you looking at comment-template.php you can try something like this:

 function my_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
    $defaults['must_log_in'] = ''; // or whatever you want it to say
    return $defaults;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'my_comment_form_defaults' ); 
  

I don't have that, rather I've the following in my functions.php :

function mytheme_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
   $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>


<li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
  <div id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
    <div class="comment-left">
      <div class="comment-author vcard"> <?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='60'); ?> <?php printf(__('<strong>%s</strong>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?> </div>
    </div>
    <div class="comment-right">
      <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
      <em>
      <?php _e('Su coment&aacute;rio tiene de ser aprovado.') ?>
      </em> <br />
      <?php endif; ?>
      <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ) ?>"><?php printf(__('%1$s at %2$s'), get_comment_date(),  get_comment_time()) ?></a>
        <?php edit_comment_link(__('(Edit)'),'  ','') ?>
      </div>
      <?php comment_text() ?>
      <div class="reply">
        <?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php
        }


?>  

any idea?

Karl, that renders the comments themselves, but not the comment form. Take a closer look at the templates in your theme :)

[Karl1]

the comment form is in the comments.php, right?
