Is it possible to make it so that users have to log in to be able to post comments? I've been using ZENphoto for about 3+ years now and here lately I'm getting hit HARD with spam bots just posting all kinds of crap for comments. I really have to stop this or take the site down. Yes it's that bad. I've received about 200+ comments since last night.

I've also looked to be able to disable comments but didn't see that either.

Many thanks for anyone's help in advance.

PS My first post here so I hope I got it in the correct section. Thanks again! :)

    If you want to only have users be able to comment, then use the `comment_form` plugin's option "Only members can comment". Note that you will have to give your users the appropriate rights as well.

    If you want to completely disable commenting, you can simply disable the plugin.

    Thank you so much for the fast reply! I've got it setup now.. I've never enabled any plug-in's as I've been happy with ZENphoto straight out of the "box"! :)

    But I got it all setup now with a log-in field and capcha and only members can comment!:)

    Thanks again!!!!
