Posts Awaiting Moderation

    I’ve found several threads dealing with comments awaiting moderation, but no answer to the problem of my users who submit a full post and then get no notification that they shouldn’t expect the post to show up on the site immediately. I’m afraid some users will think something has gone wrong unless A) they get a popup explanation of some sort, or B) I can hack the posting page itself telling them what to expect.

    I’m a newbie on 2.0.2. Thanks!

    Thanks for this. Can you point me toward what I’d need to hack? I don’t see it in my template files…

    Probably the /wp-admin/post.php file, not in the theme.

    Why not in the theme?

    I’d just add some extra wording before the call to comments_template() in the appropriate conditional block. (depending on the theme, of course).

    Am I missing something?

    Try putting this code in you comments.php

    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>Your comment is awaiting moderation.<?php endif; ?>

    I am not to tell you were to put it in you code without seeing it. I hope you can figure it out.

    Why the heck nobody reads the OP and posting misleading info? 🙂

    Unless the OP confuses the comments with posts… your answers are wrong.

    You don’t think maybe there was the potential of terminology issues between comments and posts?

    No, I don’t think so. The full first sentece is:

    Also look at the title of the topic!

    Sorry if I was unclear. My issue has to do with full posts, not comments. Seems like this same miscommunication was in other threads about posts as well, causing me to try all the suggestions pertaining to comments, hoping they’d affect posts (which, of course, they didn’t). But I’ll look into hacking the /wp-admin/post.php file later this evening when i get a few minutes.

    I think you were clear enough… it just happens that sometimes we read too fast 🙂

    Got it figured out. Just in case anyone isn’t much good at php (like me), a good place to enter text is right before the line that starts:
    <?php if ( isset($_GET[‘posted’]) ) :

    Moshu, thanks for your help!
