    Hello,

    Basically what I want to achieve is to have anybody posting a comment, and me moderating the comments.
    But I keep having the message “You must be logged in to post a comment”.

    I thought I had done everything that was needed:
    – under “Option / Discussions” I have checked : “Allow people to post comments on the article”
    – on the article level I have also checked : “Allow Comments”

    Any idea where the problem may come from ?
    I have the “Role Manager” plug-in activated.

    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Yannick

    Yo!

    Go to admin >options

    Then, right under the “E-mail address” field, you have a section “Membership”…

    Uncheck the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

    That should solve your problem…

    Hi SimonJ,

    Thanks , you’re right it works , now unregistered users can post comments.

    But actually what I want to achieve is to be able to moderate the comments before they appear. Now, unregistered users can post a comment, but their comment appear in real time. I’d like them NOT to appear before I validate them in the admin.

    Is it possible to do so ?

    Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

    Back to Options -> Discussion with you.

    See that “Before a Comment Appears” section? I personally check the bottom two options.

    Hi HandySolo,

    The 3 options are :
    * An administrator must always approve the comment
    * Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
    * Comment author must have a previously approved comment

    I have checked the number 1 and 2.
    I have not checked the number 3.

    From my understanding, I don’t need #3, and #1 should be enough to achieve what I want. But by checking the 3, it seems to work fine 🙂

    Thanks,
    Yannick
