 * I’m having a problem with one of my Word Press blogs. I’ve had this problem since
   starting the blog a year ago. It’s holding ALL comments for moderation regardless
   of content. The only checkbox activated under “Before a Comment Appears” is “
   comment author must fill out name and email”. Under “Comment Moderation” I don’t
   have any link restrictions and just a few major spam words. Nothing is on the
   blacklist, other than checking the box to blacklist comments from open and insecure
   proxies.
 * Any idea on what might be causing all comments to be held for moderation?
 * Thanks

 * Is there a space in those boxes ?
    That would cause it.
 * What version of WP ?

 * No spaces, but that was a good thought. I’m on WP 1.5. My other 1.5 blog doesn’t
   have this problem (and it’s on the same server)
