Hullo @eversatile,
I would like to thank you publicly for your help, I simply couldn’t have made it without your support. I actually used the second of three codes you provided, the last one resulting in comments being just shut off.

I’m summing up here what I did for any future visitor to get advantage of eVersatile’s tips. Again all merit goes to eVersatile.

I needed to close comments on one of my many custom post types after a certain number of comments, and the snippet originally provided in this thread did it nicely, except that it applied to all post types. So:

a) I created atemplate for comments.php in my child theme: for all noobs like myself it means copying the comment.php file from Wp directory inside your child theme and renaming it, in my case to comments-myCPT.php;

b)I modified the newly created comments-myCPT as follows:

if( get_post_type() == ‘myCPTslug’ );
$args = array( ‘post_id’ => $post->ID );
$comment = get_comments( $args );
if ( 1 <= count( $comment ) ) {
echo ‘whatever you want to appear when comments are closed’;
} else {
comment_form();

c)in the single-myCPT file (which I had previously created) I recalled the preferred comments template by adding the appropriate address to this line:
comments_template( ”, true );

which in my case became

comments_template( ‘/comments-myCPT.php’, true );

and that’s all folks.

Thank you very much @eversatile for your snippet, it works really nicely and it has solved most of my current issues.
I’m bumping into this thread to ask you whether you could advise this wp noob and php desperate to limit the comment threshold set by your snippet to certain custom post type(s) only.
I tried to edit your array adding ‘myCPT’=> $post->post_type,
but it just did not work.
I’ realy appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for your help

Just to share my experience with you guys and anybody else landing here, rolling back to version 4.2.4 solved all the issues I was having with this plugin but one (I think I came across this last specific issue scoping the support forum and in case will open a new thread).

I am also mounting Kleo and registered the following:

1)like Mickey, all my checkboxes came selected by default (mine however did not uncheck altogether just by flagging one off)
2)All my custom xprofile select dropdowns showed up with the last alphabetical option pre-selected instead of the field label (i.e For countries the form field was by default set to Zimbabwe instead of Country)
3) If embedded in the members page main body, multiple choices fields sometimes (yea really) were sorted out of the very form css just like a
ol element.

Hope these pieces of info may help Andrea fixing things up with Kleo, whose devs offer, as far as I can tell, a pretty slow followup to support requests.

As for buddypress profile search, very weel done Andrea! As soon as I’ll have finished setting up this installation you’ll have ratings and credit as appropriate. And you should really add a donation button to your site 😉
