Article Approving System

  • My blog allows visitors to create an account and post their own articles from the Front-End of the website. I created a “Pending” category to prevent spam or bad articles from appearing on the main page. All new articles are posted to this “Pending” category.

    I have created a page which lists these “Pending” articles.

    On my main page only articles in the “Approved” category are shown.

    I’d like my website to have an Approval system for these “Pending” articles. The idea is to have a select few users (sort of like moderators) Approve the article by clicking a button.

    After an article has received a certain amount of approvals, let’s say 5, the article is automatically moved to the “Approved” category. Which will mean it’s posted on my main page.

    How would I achieve a system like this? Are there any plugins for this kind of system? I would like everything to happen on the Front-End of the website.
