Managing Comments

on Friday, April 23, 2010

Your WordPress website allows visitors to comment on your posts and pages (if it is setup to do so). Comments do not automatically get published to your site. First, a comment gets checked by a SPAM filter that tries to weed out most of the comments that you are not going to see. Then, the comments that make it passed that process will email to you. Go to your WordPress admin to manage the comments, where you can Approve it and post it to the site, or Spam/Disapprove the Comment and it will be removed

Please Note: You will receive an email for every comment that goes to your site. Please dont click the links in that email. Go through your HomeQuest account to get to your SIte Admin tool. HomeQuest logs you into your WordPress site automatically, these links do not work for that.

Step 1. From the Site Admin Dashboard, look at the "Comments" section. Comments awaiting your attention show in yellow.

Step 2. Hover your mouse over the comment, and click "Approve" to add it to your site, or hit "Spam" if it is strange, unsolicited, or unwanted

There are automatic spam comment filters built into our system. However, this will not catch all of them and sometimes you will have to click "Spam" to mark comments and prevent them from going onto your site.
