weird emails from moderating on comments
-
Hopefully you get the content of the comment to, so you can read it in the email.
The first link takes you to your WP admin screen to confirm that you accept the comment. It’s not published before you do.
The second link takes you t a WHOIS server, so you can check up on what domain the comment came from, and eventually who owns the domain, as you might not know the commentor.I guess you get one more link, so to go to your blog and read the whole comment before you approve it.
If you don’t want to approve every comment, you can change that from your WP Dashboard. I’d want to approve the first comment from a new commentor and then let WP automatically publish new comments from the same reader.
Thanks,
I do not get the comment content when I turn on the setting “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”
the emails come in like the one above.
when I uncheck the setting, the comments post just fine.
thanks
Strange indeed. I usually don’t decide any approvements directly in the mail, but use the “You can see all comments on this post here: ” – link. This brings me to my wp admin page an I can read the full comment and any other waiting moderation.
Better safe than sorry 🙂I am not sure what you are saying petit in your comment.
Further research shows me this:
When I check the admin setting I note above, when a new person posts, it says there is a new comment – say number 7000, but in the admin, it says there is no comment by that number.
If I make a comment when logged in, it says 7001 and it shows just fine in the admin.
any ideas?
thanks – i did the upgrade to 2.0.1 about a week or so ago.
This seems to me to be another question, one about comment numbering. In may last entry I was still discussing your moderation of email posts, and explained my habits in that regard.
Others have had problems ( new thread here 🙂 with the numbering of comments after an upgrade to 2.01.Maybe this tread will help:
