Always Allow Admin Comments

Description

This plugin enables a user with the administrator role the ability to comment on any post or page, even if the comments for that post or page are closed. When the plugin is active, this behavior is automatically enabled.

Administrators can be explicitly prevented from commenting on specific posts via two approaches:

• When creating or editing a post, in the “Prevent Admin Comments” metabox (in the block editor) or the “Discussion” metabox (in the classic editor) there is a checkbox labeled “Prevent administrators from commenting” that only administrators can access. Checking the checkbox will prevent administrators from commenting on the post even though this plugin is active. (If the metabox isn’t visible for you when using the classic editor, then expand the “Screen Options” slide-down panel on the upper-right of the page.)
• Programmatically, via the use of the ‘c2c_admin_can_always_comment_disable’ filter. This can be used be provide more fine-grained access control and contextual handling. See the “Hooks” section for documentation on the filter’s use.
