Comments and RGPD

[meilusiono]

Hi,

I need to update the comments display so that it’s in compliance with the RGPD legislation.

I’ve used the code that appears here, but only works if the user is logged in:

I need the user to accept the privacy policy before sending a message.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Sandra

Hi,

not just a text message, also a checkbox they have to accept before being able to send the comment.

You can see what I mean in the attached screenshot.

Thanks,

Hi,

You will have to alter theme code or to use a plugin like this one : https://wordpress.org/plugins/gdpr/

Hi Radu,

I know I have to alter the theme code, my question is: which file should I edit in order to have the default WP comments.

Thanks,
Sandra

Hi,

This it’s the file : wp-content/themes/kleo/comments.php

And here’s generated the comment form : wp-content/themes/kleo/functions.php:533

You can alter the code by pasting this code : https://pastebin.com/raw/96uby7NX into your child theme functions.php and it will override the form from parent.

The new theme update is not GPDR compliant.

WordPress now comes with a checkbox to accept the privacy policy. This theme overrides it.

Please solve it or let me know how I dissable the kleo comments functions and use the WP ones. I need to be GDPR compliant.

Thanks,
Sandra
