Reply To: Need users to be able to posts without posts being approved
I had a lost at the differences between 2.5.4 and 2.6.1 for when it comes to moderation and I saw the new function. It is interesting that it refers to these hooks:
Apparently you can use these hooks and if they return true it will stop performing the moderation check. I don’t know how to implement these hooks, and I am not telling anyone they should implement them. Moderation is a good thing when ti works as intended.
I had a look at my own WordPress Settings | Discussion Settings which is where I understand this gets all the behaviour from and my blacklist and whitelist are empty anyway. But I do have another checkbox ON:
Comments must be approved
I had that on because in my website posts where comments are allowed I wanted control. I don’t know if it is this checkbox that is the cause of every topic and reply needing moderation.
That said, in the same settings page in WP it has options for sending out an email whenever a comment goes into moderation and that is not honoured. So maybe none of these settings are taken into account?
