    I am having an issue with people writing comments and they are appearing before someone approves them. How do I hide comments entirely until an administrator approves?

    Thanks, S

    Login to wordpress and select: Settings >> Discussion

    Put a check in: “An administrator must always approve the comment”

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks but I did that and the comment still appears beneath the post but has a note that says “Approval Pending” it is very strange because it shows what the person wrote for a comment – Not quite sure what the purpose would be of an approval if everyone can read it anyway???

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks, S

    And who else sees it besides the
    a) comment author
    b) the admin
    ?

    Is there anybody else seeing it?

    Ok, so you’ll have to forgive me – I didn’t realize that the author of comments was able to see them even before they were approved….my apologies.
    It seems to be working as it should.

    Thanks for the quick response! S
