To manage your commenting settings and moderate blog comments, navigate to Blog > Comments on your dashboard.
Moderating Comments
By default we show Pending comments for All Posts, though you can use the Post dropdown to select a specific post. For each pending comment you’ll see two options to the right:
- Approve - Click the green checkmark to approve the comment
- Delete - Click the red trash can to delete the comment.
You can also view approved comments by changing the Status dropdown to Approved. When viewing approved comments, you will only see a delete option to the right.
Comment Settings
Below pending and approved comment queues are your blog comment settings.
Allow comments on posts
This setting is global and is the default used for posts. You can turn off commenting on individual posts when creating or editing a blog post.
Comment Approval
There are three options available for comment approval:
- Approve all comments: All blog comments will be automatically approved and published to your site.
- Approve comments from logged in users only: If you have set up membership for your site, your members’ comments will be automatically approved if they are logged in. Anonymous comments will be not be automatically approved and will be shown in the list of pending comments for your review.
- Manually approve all comments: All blog post comments will be added to the pending comments queue where they can be manually approved or deleted.
Be sure to click the Save button after making any changes to your comment settings.
