Hi I have the Supreme Directory Theme with my Geodirectory site. I have the Multi ratings and reviews plugin activated. It seems that anyone who has registered a username can click “Reply” to a review, is there a way I can restrict replying to only the business owner? I’m just worried the replies might get very difficult to manage and might get out of hand if anyone can add their two cents for example if someone writes a bad review and then a heap of people follow it up with replies like “yes terrible”, “you should sue”, “let’s boycott” etc.

That removed the reply function thank you. However, does this now mean that a business owner cannot reply to reviews? Do I have to allow everyone to be able to reply or no-one?

I’ll get Giri to have a look at your question after the weekend.
Thanks

Hi there,

Try adding this code in code snippets.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
```
add_filter('comment_reply_link', 'ds_modify_comment_reply_link', 10, 4);
function ds_modify_comment_reply_link($link, $args, $comment, $post) {
    $post_types = geodir_get_posttypes();
    if ($post_types && in_array($post->post_type, $post_types)) {
        if ($post->post_author != get_current_user_id()) {
            $link = "";
        }
    }
    return $link;
}
```
Let me how that goes.

Thanks

Initial tests are showing that it worked perfectly! Thanks Giri! I’m sure this is something that would be great to incorporate into Geodirectory as standard!
