Thanks for the update, i just tested when i post a test comment it automatically updates the page with the comment and sends me it to my email. Do you know if i can change it so that after they post the comment, i can then decide to approve or reject and if i approve then it gets shown on my page?
]]>You can also run Akismet to automatically delete really bad spam leaving questionable posts in the queue and then your otherwise ‘okay’ posts just waiting for approval. After a time the above will reduce your workload for comments.
You can tell WordPress to email you about moderated comments.
All of this except Akismet is set in Dashboard –> Settings –> Discussion
There’s probably a plugin or two available to further tweak comment actions. I just never have looked.
]]>I don’t have Akismet because i noticed you have to pay for a personal subscription.
]]>I have to manually go to wordpress and check the Comments section and decide to move to trash or approve it which is not really ideal. It would be nice to get an email notification sent to my address so i know when somebody has posted a comment.
Can anybody else provide any suggestions? Or if somebody can recommend a free plugin i can use to notifiy me of when a comment is posted that i can use to approve or reject.
]]>Thanks i’ve downloaded the plugin and set it up with the support page and after testing when post a comment on my blog i still don’t receive any email notification. Does my hosting site need to something on there end?
I’ll also post a question on WP Mail SMTP by WPForms for assistance.
Thanks
