   What I just don’t understand or maybe I am missing something, is how to put the Privacy Policy checkbox as in what you have on your comments. Something like, „by using this form you agree to us collecting and storing data as per our privacy policy. Nobody seems to have this information – just the usual comment checkbox which is straight forward to do.

     If I understand what you’re looking to do, you can change the text by editing the text on line 29 in our code above that currently has ‚Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.‘ when replacing, ensure you keep the single quotes.

   Got this working and checked that the cookie was being created as expected, but when I browse away from the blog page and then return to it, I expected the form values to be pre-populated with the values stored in the cookie, but this doesn’t happen and the fields are left blank! I think I assumed that the line $commenter = wp_get_current_commenter(); and subsequent lines esc_attr( $commenter[‚comment_author_url‘] ) etc. would retrieve the stored field values from the cookie. Have I missed something, or am I msundersatding the way the checkbox is supposed to work?

   I normally find great info on your site, but I have to speak up and say in this case, this is not accurate to be ready for GDPR, you need get consent to save their data for the comment/email/name/ip etc in your website database, whether or not they choose to save their details in a cookie for faster commenting at a later time.

   I used css to hide this checkmark and installed a GDPR plugin, unfortunately now that plugin is not prompting people that they have to checkmark to leave their comment, so now we are losing comments. What’s also frustrating is that it appears for all users with no option to show only for EU. Another frustration is that with hiding the wordpress added checkmark, now the users do not see „your comment is awaiting moderation“.

   What if I don’t want the commenters to store a cookie with their personal data at all? Is there a way to deactivate the whole process and to hide this cookie consent for good?

   What if the code is there in my theme already? It’s still not showing up, but it has each of the fields there.

    Thx for the guide,

    but everything described doesn’t seem to be possible, if it’s a wordpress.com page (free/no plan).

    There is no updating and there is nothing in the settings to add an opt-in check box or any other specific code. The only thing in the settings, that implies a possibility to achieve GDPR-compliance is to add a short info, that data will be provided to and stored at automaticc with a link to their privacy disclaimer. Furthermore, plug-ins and access via ftp can not be used.
    —

    Any suggestions on how to include an opt-in check box for users who only use the free wordpress.com solution?
    Or is it not even needed due to the fact that user access to the web space is only possible via the rather limited wordpress configuration page – or due to any other means?

    Hello, I was able to add this in my theme and it works, but there is one problem. I check consent box. Next time, my name and email are filled in, but I have to check consent box again. In default WP theme, if I check remember name, email fields box once, next time it comes checked by default. Is there problem with my theme or this code can be improved?

    Hey there! Great instruction! I am trying to get some sites GDPR compliant as well.

    I was wondering about Genesis websites, I couldn’t find this code in either comments.php OR functions.php so I first tried loading the code from Method 1 in via Simple Hooks after the comment form then I used the code you gave to Mateja in my functions.php. Both gave me a checkbox but… is it supposed to do anything else? Is there somewhere that I can see whether a commenter has checked this box? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    I was not helped by Method 1 and Method 2.
      I could not find the code I needed to edit.

    I’m using the „publisher“ (themeforest) template.

    Can you tell me how to configure the „publisher“ template?
    Thank you

      Hi Alexander,

      Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to come up with a solution for each theme as they use different methods. It would be best to contact your theme developer for support.

    I also got the „Undefined variable: consent“ message when I tried to do this, although the checkbox appeared along with the message.

      Hi Mateja,

      You can try this code in your theme’s functions.php file. You’ll be able to change the label text for the consent checkbox.

      function wpb_comments_privacy($arg) {
         
        $arg['cookies'] = '<p class="comment-form-cookies-consent"><input id="wp-comment-cookies-consent" name="wp-comment-cookies-consent" type="checkbox" value="yes"' . $consent . ' />' .
                                                   '<label for="wp-comment-cookies-consent">' . __( 'Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.' ) . '</label></p>';
           
        return $arg;
      }
       
      add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'wpb_comments_privacy');

    Thank you sir. I have applied the 1st method. Its working but after inserting the code some of the code elements also shown with the checkbox and message which I manually removed. Is it OK? Now its working fine but the checkbox is showing above the message and not inline. How I can inline both the checkbox and the message.

      Hi Kamran,

      No, there is probably something missing in the code. Most likely a quote or a php start or end tag. Carefully review the code to make sure that all quotes are closed and code is properly formatted.

      For styling you will need to use custom CSS to adjust the field.

    Ok, I am ignorant about adding code. I am using the K2 theme, which does not seem to have the updated comments form. I installed Code Snippets, but I don’t understand – does it just know where to put the snippet? I looked at the comments code in the theme files, but it doesn’t look anything like your example here. In fact it has 189 lines of code for comments. Do I just add your „new privacy checkbox optin“ code to snippets and click activate and it inserts it in the correct place? So confused…

      Hi Carey,

      If you find editing theme files difficult, then ask your theme author to release an update.

    Hi! I do not have the above code in your article, as is, but i do have the following code in the comments.php file. The code includes the 4 fields;

    Could you please advise how my code could be edited? Thanks in advance.

      Hi Brian,

      It depends on rest of the code in your theme. Unfortunately, we cannot cover all the possible ways in which a theme may display a comment form. You will need to reach out to your theme author for support.

    I tried using this and got the following notice in place of the checkbox:

    Undefined variable: consent

    So you didn’t define it? How do I do that?

      Huh… It’s working for me. I just need to get the checkbox and label lined-up to match the rest of my form…

      Just so everyone knows I opened up comments-template.php file from the wp-includes folder and found this:

      $consent = empty( $commenter[‚comment_author_email‘] ) ? “ : ‚ checked=“checked“‚;

      Adding this to the above defines the consent and in doing so will remove the notice if you have debug turned on.

      You have to add it before the $comments_args = array. This all depends on how you have your template configured.

      Hope it helps.
