This goes in ck-karma.php: function get_cmt_karma($id) { global $ckarma; $karma = $ckarma->getKarma($id); return $karma; } In the comments.php file add this below the loop: $karma = get_cmt_karma(get_comment_id()); if ($karma < -9) { //The rest of the code in the loop will be here, and then you'll need to add a final } at the end. You can change the number from -9 to whatever you want. }
