Moderating on a per category basis

  • Dear all,
    I’ve been using WP for quite some time now, and I enjoy it a lot. Recently I acquired a digital camera, and thought of creating a new posts category in my blog, called “Pictures”. Doing so, I expect my family and close friends to be able to watch my shots as I take them.
    But one thing concerns me: I’d like my family and friends to be able to post comments to the pictures, but not anyone else. So I was wondering if there would be a way to moderate comments based on a category name. In my case, every post saved to “Pictures” category that got comments would need to be moderated before the comments actually showed up.
    Is there any way you can suggest me to do such a thing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

  • Hi Daniel,
    I’m sure I could put together a relatively simple hack for you.
    What version of WP are you running?

    planetthoughtful,
    Your quick hack has been working, already, in my blog. And I must say that it works terrific! Thank you very much for your time and patience!
    Just as a suggestion for the developers, and also for other users who might come into this thread, wouldn’t it be a good idea to incorporate such funcionality into WP’s core? I mean, when creating a new category, one could have the possibility to select whether it should be moderated individually or not.
    Thanks again for the help.
    Daniel
