• Was hoping someone could help, I more or less see what the issue is but not sure how to fix it. Using WordPress for a project I’m trying to finish up since it was a simple way of setting up a DB, comments and easy for administrators to add pictures.

    Having issues with wordpress showing comments that were posted from the same computer I suppose as feedback telling the user that they posted something. The problem is this computer has many users at a library sitting at it potentially posting things throughout the day so I’d rather not have any unapproved comments showup at all.

    I don’t know what’s causing it to showup however, it’s not in the theme as far as I can tell. I’m not much of a php guy, I can figure out though what to delete from where if I know what I’m looking for however. If someone could offer some advice I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Matt

  • If unapproved comments are showing up on the frontpage (public view) of your site, then it probably is a theme issue. If they are showing in the admin area as unapproved comments, then that is normal…that’s how you know they are there so you can approve or delete them.

    As I’m trying to explain… they’re showing to the user who posted them as it’s feedback that the comment was posted but not yet approved. I need to remove that from I’m guessing comments.php but can’t find the line.

    If you view from another computer or clear cookies they go away so it’s something that needs to be hacked.

    Is it your own home grown theme or a downloaded one? if it’s someone else’s, which one.

    Also a link to your site may be helpful 🙂

    It’s not online, the site runs localy at a computer at the local library with no internet access. The theme was Hyperminimalist with a few minor changes in some of the text.

    How is that computer set up, server wise? If they’re all acting like comments etc are from the same computer, check the IP stored with the comment and see if it’s the computer running WP. If so, then the problem is in your ‘server’ setup.
