Can’t Approve Comments! Please Help!

  • When I try to appove pending comments from the edit-comments.php page, it changes the link from Approve to Unapprove as expected, but the comments do not appear in the article. Also, if I check the checkboxes and try to approve them in BULK it goes to a blank page.

    When I go back to the list of pending comments, all of the comments I previously approved are pending again.

    I upgraded to 2.7.1. via the automatic-wordpress-upgrade plug-in but this didn’t fix the issue.

    Anybody have any ideas?

  • I don’t seem to have an issue with bulk approving, only approving via the dashboard.

    Also – I think matthewc is definitely onto something – if I turn off email notifications for comments the issues seem to go away. Anyone else confirm same?

    I’m currently having connectivity trouble, so can’t get any further with this issue, but thought I’d update what I found so far anyway.

    I *think* the issue has been resolved for me by matthewc’s suggestions.

    I checked in my hosting control panel and turned off php4, forcing php5 to be used as the default.

    I then reuploaded class-phpmailer.php and class-smtp.php from the wp-includes folder.

    So far it appears as though the issues have disappeared.

    Hi,

    My bloggers encounter below error message when they tried to approve the comment via the notification email (click on the “Approve it” link) that sent by WordPress. But no error message appear when they approve the comments from the Administrator Panel.

    “Error 403
    We’re sorry, but we could not fultill your request for /blogname/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?p=1433#comments on this server.
    You do not have permission to access this server. etc…”

    I’m currently using WordPressMU version 2.8.4a.

    Please help, and many thanks in advance.

    I have the same issue and it just suddenly appeared for me as well.

    I’ve had to access the underlying mysql database directly via phpMyAdmin to approve those comments.
