Remove comments tab from

The ‘edit_posts’ capability is required for that menu to display, but if you want users to edit posts, then you might want to change wp-admin/menu.php.

Of course, if you change a core file like that, make a backup before changing, and remember you might need to fix that again for future releases.

there is a way, but not sure you like it or not:
in wp-admin/edit-comments.php , at the first line, put this code:

<?php
	if ($user_level < 9){
	echo "Restricted area";
	exit;
}

this will block users below level 9 (admin is 10).

Cheers

you are right, sorry. this one works and the same code should place BELOW require_once(‘admin.php’) the code :

you can try it at my website if needed

<?php

require_once('admin.php');

	if ($user_level < 9){
	echo "Restricted area";
	exit;
}

————-
edit: if you want to keep the header and footer, then you should move the code BELOW: require_once(‘admin-header.php’);
then add this code (almost same):

*******************
//HACK FOR VIETZON
	if ($user_level < 9){
	echo "<div style='text-align:center;color:red; padding-top:100px';><h1>Restricted area</h1></div>";
	include('admin-footer.php');
	exit;
}
//HACK ENDS

remove div if you want to.

cheers

My workaround
Change edit.php line
<a href="http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=<?php comment_author_IP() ?>"><?php comment_author_IP() ?></a>

With this one.
<a href="http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=<?php comment_author_url() ?>"><?php comment_author_url_link() ?></a>
