 * Hi
    Would someone be able to assist? Hopefully, this is the correct forum area
   for this subject.
 * When using moderated comments is there a way for a message to appear for when
   a comment is submitted a message appears to say “The comment is waiting for approval”
   For example?

 * It’s difficult to tell from your question whether you want a message to the admin
   or a message to the commenter.
 * The default comment handler does show such a message to the commenter. The theme
   may not use the default comment handler, though. The theme can supply its own
   handler, and leave that part out (or not).

 * Hi [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) thank you for your
   reply
 * For sites that are moderated.
    I want is once someone leaves a message on a post
   that message appears.
 * Does that make sense?
