rest_pre_insert_comment filter-hookWP 4.7.0

Filters a comment before it is inserted via the REST API.

Allows modification of the comment right before it is inserted via wp_insert_comment(). Returning a WP_Error value from the filter will short-circuit insertion and allow skipping further processing.

Usage

add_filter( 'rest_pre_insert_comment', 'wp_kama_rest_pre_insert_comment_filter', 10, 2 );
