Allow visitors to comment but not answer
Hi,
I’m trying to allow people to post anonymous questions with the Anspress plugin. But I only want my moderators to answer them. However, in case the questioner wants to follow up, they can comment on the answers. So basically, no answering permission for visitors, only questioning and commenting ones. Is this possible? How should I do that? Thank you!

The Anonymous permission should be SPLIT, Allow Asking a Question and Allow Answer.
I agree, is that possible with some modification of the code?
Rahul has promised that a long time ago.
Yeah, I wish this feature can be available as well. The current setting options are a bit illogical in certain cases.
I hope you guys have seen AnsPress option -> user roles, there you can specify almost access permission of AnsPress.
Anonymous comment is not possible in AnsPress at the moment but it is possible with minor modifications.
I have see the roles but i can’t understand how to make the Visitors (anon) to Ask a Question but not to answer a question.
Exactly, there’s no roles for anonymous visitors.
Any chance I can know how to edit the code to implement this feature?
@Bowen_Zheng Roles and caps are only for logged in user. Allowing anonymous comment require some changes in our core code. I will check if that will be possible to release in upcoming version.
I see. But there aren’t options for me to do what I want. I don’t want anonymous people to answer questions, but they can comment. Because anonymous people can ask questions and I want to give them a way to follow up. You have the “Asker can answer” option but it won’t work with anonymous people. I guess I just need some ways to always show the comment button instead of hiding it when the user is anonymous.
