# Comment Moderation Error

 * I have not enabled “Comment moderation is enabled. Your comments may take some
   time to appear.” Nor have I ever enabled it. Now, the message appears and not
   only that, it takes almost a whole 24 hours for some comments to appear on my
   blog even though they are visible in my dashboard.
    Here is a recent post where
   you can see it that “Comment Moderation is enabled” [http://www.housekaboodle.com/house-plans-with-photos-for-cape-cod-cottage-traditional-ranch/](http://www.housekaboodle.com/house-plans-with-photos-for-cape-cod-cottage-traditional-ranch/)
   I have commentluv and they say it is a wordpress problem.

 * Comments from regular commenters are going into spam too for some reason. When
   I reply to a comment, it does not appear either. I have to go into each post 
   and click Update to get comments to display.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and wp-
   config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones.

 * Thanks for the ideas and help. I deactivated all my plugins and reactivated them
   one by one. JetPack is causing the “Comment moderation is enabled” to display.
   Akismet is causing comments written by readers or me when I reply to NOT display
   and then if I delete a comment, it deletes in wordpress, but not on my blog unless
   I go into the individual post and Update it.
    Any suggestions as to how to get
   these two plugins to play nice? Is it a bug in those plugins?
