    Hello,

    I have this issue on 2 websites using Poka Theme. Every time I disable “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”, the system doesn’t “accept” my choice, checking again the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

    I have the same issue and I hadn’t fixed it. I found only one solution, not the best, I added code from this forum for function.php so now I have 2 fields with register, another without.

    Hi cabhal,

    Exactly, this option is enabled by default by the theme because this is how we decided is best for the reviews ratings.
    If you want to disable you can check the following topic: https://pokatheme.com/topic/commenting-by-guests/

    We plan to improve this part in the future versions of PokaTheme.

    Hi!

    The URL is working just fine to me.
    Can you please try again?

    I’m sorry but I can see the link above just fine…

    I’m sending the solution also here:

    You can add the following snippet to your child theme functions.php to enable guest users comments

    function poka_child_init(){
update_option( ‘comment_registration’, 0 );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘poka_child_init’ );

    Hey,

    It’s not working for me (neither the link which leads to a 404, nor the code which I entered into my child theme functions.php.

    //enable guest comments
    function poka_child_init(){
    update_option( ‘comment_registration’, 0 );
    }
    add_action( ‘init’, ‘poka_child_init’ );
    //end enable guest comments

    The comment section is very important for me to be used by guests. I also tried another solution which was offered by a person in this support forum, but it also didn’t work 🙁

    Do you know why it doesn’t work for me? Or a work around?

    Thanks,
    Denno
