If you want to check whether the current logged-in user is the comment author for the current comment within comments loop, you can use "get_comment_author();". Please note that it seems that it displays the display name of the current comment author. Therefore, to check if the current user is a comment author, it's needed to compare the display name of the current user with the comment author:
global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); if(is_user_logged_in()) { if($current_user->display_name == get_comment_author()) { // your code here } else { // your code here } }
Reference - get current user
$current_user = wp_get_current_user(); /** * @example Safe usage: $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); * if ( !($current_user instanceof WP_User) ) * return; */ echo 'Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . '<br />'; echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . '<br />'; echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . '<br />'; echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . '<br />'; echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . '<br />'; // Display Name of the current user echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . '<br />'; // User ID of the current user
