FAQ

I just want my moderators can moderate their own comments, is this possible?

Yes, you can play with my filter named “allow_moderate_all_comments”, example of use (add this in your functions.php from theme folder):
1. Code: add_filter( 'allow_moderate_all_comments', '__return_false' ); // This will remove the "all comments" moderation
1. or we can check a user meta to allow one user to be kind of “admin moderator”, example with a moderator user, with ID 123
function check_moderator()
{
return $GLOBALS[‘current_user’]->ID == 123;
}
add_filter( ‘allow_moderate_all_comments’, ‘check_moderator’ );

I use a plugin that adds a page for comment stuff, this page is not here, you’re mean!

No worry, i’ve think about it!
Use the filter “allowed_moderator_menus” and add your plugins pages. Example of use:
function add_my_plugin_page_for_moderator_menu_this_function_got_a_very_long_name_damn_it( $pages )
{
$pages[] = __( ‘My plugin page menu name’, ‘plugin_context’ );
}
add_action( ‘allowed_moderator_menus’, ‘add_my_plugin_page_for_moderator_menu_this_function_got_a_very_long_name_damn_it’ );

Ok, now i can see a plugin menu in my admin bar and i don’t want it!!

Same stuff! use this filter “baw_before_admin_bar_render”, example:
function remove_my_plugin_in_admin_bar( &$wp_admin_bar )
{
$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu(‘my-bad-plugin’);
}
add_action( ‘baw_before_admin_bar_render’, ‘remove_my_plugin_in_admin_bar’ );

Works Great! Thanks! This plugin does the job securely! (while other similar plugins allow edit posts function which is really bad!)

Flawless

Nice Plugin, but…

This plugin looked like it would do exactly what I needed it to do. However, I don’t think in works in MultiSite. I installed it and activated it at the site level, not the network level. I was logged in as Super Admin and once it was installed I was demoted to Comments only. All menu items vanished. Too bad. To unravel: Delete the plugin Go to plugins menu on the site — to see the alert message and plugin deactivation Go into raw database: wp_99_options table (where 99 is your site id number) edit the option value for option_name=”wp_99_user_roles” remove the data between and inclusive of s:9:"moderator";a:2:{…}} change a:6:{ to a:5:{ at the beginning of the serialized data blob Good luck P.S. a workable alternative is the “Comment Moderator” plugin Version 1.3.1 | By 99 Robots. I installed it and tried it out and within 30 minutes I had it fully configured, tested and put into use.
