New Update has no "Login to comment" section

Hi kflaphi,

Please leave your website URL to allow us to check it. 

Unfortunately this is on my local dev copy so it's not live anywhere to share.

Looking at the console, there are no errors. I also have WP_DEBUG on and nothing appears. Inspecting the element, I noticed that the normal message seems to be commented out?

After doing some investigation, it looks like the there's a section of code on the Form.php that was commented out. Removing the comments makes it work just fine. Was this on purpose or perhaps forgotten about?

Lines 541-558 in Form.php

// else {

?>

<!--

<p class="wc-must-login">

<?php

// if (!$message) {

// echo $this->wpdOptions->phrases['wc_you_must_be_text'];

// $login = wp_loginout(get_permalink(), false);

// $login = preg_replace('!>([^<]+)!is', '>' . $this->wpdOptions->phrases['wc_logged_in_text'], $login);

// echo ' ' . $login . ' ' . $this->wpdOptions->phrases['wc_to_post_comment_text'];

// } else {

// echo $message;

// }

?>

</p>

-->

<?php

// }

Dear @kflaphi,

You only need to disable the "Hide Please login to comment text" option in Dashboard > Comments > Settings > Comment Form admin page.

I tried disabling that and it didn't seem to work either?
