Hey guys. I’m having a problem when submitting comments. They are being approved automatically even though I’m using comment_status=0

Here’s my code:
```
$http.jsonp(WORDPRESS_API_URL + 'user/post_comment/' +
    '?post_id='+ postId +
    '&cookie='+ user.cookie +
    '&comment_status=0' +
    '&content='+ content +
    '&callback=JSON_CALLBACK')
    .success(function(data) {
      deferred.resolve(data);
    })
```
Please help! Thank you.

Hi,

It also depends upon your WordPress comment approval policy. usually, if the user has previously approved comments, the submitted comment is automatically approved. please check your WordPress > Settings > Discussion.

Actually the problem is with the plugin itself. Setting comment_status to 0 was throwing an error. So I modified the json-api-user/controllers/User.php file to this:

$data = array(
'comment_post_ID' => $json_api->query->post_id,
'comment_author' => $user_info->user_login,
'comment_author_email' => $user_info->user_email,
'comment_author_url' => $user_info->user_url,
'comment_content' => $json_api->query->content,
'comment_type' => '',
'comment_parent' => 0,
'user_id' => $user_info->ID,
'comment_author_IP' =>  $ip,
'comment_agent' => $agent,
'comment_date' => $time,
'comment_approved' => 0,
 );

instead of:

$data = array(
'comment_post_ID' => $json_api->query->post_id,
'comment_author' => $user_info->user_login,
'comment_author_email' => $user_info->user_email,
'comment_author_url' => $user_info->user_url,
'comment_content' => $json_api->query->content,
'comment_type' => '',
'comment_parent' => 0,
'user_id' => $user_info->ID,
'comment_author_IP' =>  $ip,
'comment_agent' => $agent,
'comment_date' => $time,
'comment_approved' => $comment_approved,
 );

Note how comment_approved has been set to 0.

Cheers! 🙂
