Approve Comments

Comments do not appear publicly until you approve them. This helps prevent spam and unwanted posts from appearing on your website.

  2. Check the Is approved box.
  3. Click Save.

Why a comment isn’t showing up:

  • It has not been manually approved yet.
  • It may have been flagged as spam in the filter panel.

Troubleshooting

  • A comment isn’t appearing on the blog post.
    Make sure the Is approved box is checked.
  • I can’t find a comment.
    Clear all filters or check if it’s flagged as spam.
  • Too many comments to review.
    Use filters such as Not approved + Not spam to reduce the list.
  • Sorting isn’t working the way I expect.
    Click the same column again to reverse the order.
