WordPress Comments
This is a short tutorial on moderating your WordPress comments.
When you log in to WordPress you’ll notice it says Comments, Approved, Pending, and Spam near the center of the screen. Click Comments to continue.
Whenever someone makes a comment it goes into the queue for approval. If you don’t have any pending comments don’t fret, you’ll get some soon enough!. You’ll notice the post at the top is a light yellow color, because it hasn’t been approved yet. Clicking Approve allows web users to see that specific comment on your post. The right hand column shows which post the comment belongs to. Next click Spam to see what has been caught in the spam queue.
This is where anything that the spam filter catches goes. You may or may not have any spam at this point, but as you post more you’ll get more spam. Sometimes the spam filter catches something that isn’t spam (which happens if someone tries to post more than a few HTML links in their comment). If this is the case you can approve the comment just like you would any other comment. When you want to remove all of your spam you can click the check box next to Author, select Delete Permanently from the drop box and hit Apply.
That’s about all there is to know about comments, so I hope it helps.
