Easy and quick, almost as if nothing happened at all
Comment Count is correct as I have checked the database, and the pending comments are in there.
This happened since last WordPress Update to 5.5.1
WordPress theme is custom built. Is there any change that needs to be done in the themes to be compatible with the latest WordPress Update?
]]>Not a huge problem, but mildly annoying. I also tried downloading a plugin to delete all pending comments, but that didn’t have an effect, unfortunately. Has this happened to anyone before? Any ideas about what might fix it?
]]>Help is appreciated.
….
wordpress v4.7.2
wp-optimize v2.1.0
But I had unchecked “not to remove pending comments”
But automatic optimization deleted my pending comments also. I am not seeing them even in the BIN.
How can I recover them? I had more than 400 pending comments.
]]>My website is simplynatureplusnurture.com
For the past month I’ve not been able to view my pending comments. It says I have 48 pending comments, but when I try to view them, it is a blank page that says “No comments awaiting moderation.”
Tried deactivating all my plug-ins, to no avail.
Any solution is greatly appreciated. Also, I am not very tech savvy and have very little knowledge of web coding. The simpler the solution is described, the better!
Thank you in advance!
Mary
]]>I also set “Treat Replies As” to “comments” and wp shows these as comments.
On my test site, the new comment is approved if the user has previously commented. It seems to me that comments should also be “Pending” if the Postie option “Default Post Status” is set to “Pending”.
We have users on our site that can post and comment fairly well using wp pages. These same people seem to have poor control of their email or a spammer can send an email posing as an address Postie would pass because it is in the wp_users table . Since some of our users also post via email, we want any post by email to be approved.
I added wp filter ‘pre_comment_approved’ to the filterPostie.php file and that works for me but thought you might want to include something like this in Postie.
Thanks, Ben
