If you allow users to comment while they are not logged in, they will have a \u2018not verified<\/em>\u2018 tag next to their name in the comments of your site. You may want to turn off this user verification status<\/strong> for the comments of your themes. This can be done via a global setting or by individual theme settings in the Drupal 7 admin dashboard. Removing user verification status is very simple in Drupal 7 and can be done by following these instructions.<\/p>\n

Disabling user verification status for comments in Drupal 7:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Drupal 7 Admin panel.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Using the top menu area, click on the Appearance <\/strong>option.
    \"_main-dashboard-appearance\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. This will bring up the themes page where it lists all themes installed within Drupal 7. Locate the Settings <\/strong>tab at the upper right corner of the screen and click it.
    \"appearance-theme-settings-tab\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. This brings you to the main Appearance <\/strong>page. You will see Global Settings<\/strong> followed by the name of all enabled themes as a top menu bar. To set this setting for all themes, be sure you are set to Global Settings<\/strong> by clicking on the label. If you wish to turn off this setting for a particular theme, simply click on that theme\u2019s name in the menu. You will then see a Toggle Display<\/strong> list. Find the User Verification Status In Comments<\/strong> setting. Simply click the checkbox to disable it. It is disabled if there is no longer a check in the box.\n

    Note that not all themes support the global settings. If that is the case for your theme, simply choose the theme name at the top instead of Global Settings<\/strong> to go to the settings for that particular theme. Then you willl be able to turn off the logo for that theme.<\/p>\n

    \"appearance-toggle-verify-status-comment\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  5. Click on the Save Configuration<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page to save the change. Below is an example of how the comment will appear before and after the setting is toggled.

    \n\n\n\n\n
    Before<\/th>\nAfter<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    \"user-verify-before\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/td>\n
    		\"user-verify-after\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now you have successfully turned off user verification status for comments in Drupal 7!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
