Let subscibers VIEW comments but not MODERATE

    I run a pretty deep WordPress site and need functionality to allow SUBSCRIBERS to be able to SEE all the comments they’ve made.

    I know the Members Plugin allows for adding moderate_comments permissions, but that’s too much capability—I can’t allow subscribers to edit/delete.

    Does anybody know how to create a CUSTOM ROLE or modify the moderate_comments role capability to allow subscribers to see but not edit?

    Really appreciate any consideration and help!

    I poked around the code a bit, but was not able to get the results you need. The default “Contributor” role appears to allow viewing all comments, but no editing. In /wp-admin/edit-comments.php line 43, there seems to be an ‘edit_comment’ capability, but creating one to match had no effect. Same for an ‘edit_comments_per_page’ reference. I could find no ‘read_comment’ capability, except something similar in BuddyPress. We’ve opted to not go with the complexity of BuddyPress, but are working through some of the limitations of the Groups Forum plugin (which we’ve purchased) to achieve a similar capability.
    I dislike WP comments in any form anyway, so we are looking to Custom Content Types, Forms Manager and Groups Forums for interactivity.

    To make a long story short – what you want does not seem evident in the core or members plugin, so perhaps you need to approach it from another angle…
