Comment Moderation
I want people to be able to leave comments without anyone having to “approve” them – so they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason puts all comments (including my own!) into the spam folder. I have to go in, see a comment in spam, mark it “not spam”, then “approve” it. I have checked and rechecked the WordPress settings and do not understand why it’s not letting people post comments that appear immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience.September 2010 S M T W T F S « Aug 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 -
