Replies as Pending comments

    When I have the Default Post Status set to “Pending”, Postie sets the wp post status as “Pending Review”.

    I also set “Treat Replies As” to “comments” and wp shows these as comments.

    On my test site, the new comment is approved if the user has previously commented. It seems to me that comments should also be “Pending” if the Postie option “Default Post Status” is set to “Pending”.

    We have users on our site that can post and comment fairly well using wp pages. These same people seem to have poor control of their email or a spammer can send an email posing as an address Postie would pass because it is in the wp_users table . Since some of our users also post via email, we want any post by email to be approved.

    I added wp filter ‘pre_comment_approved’ to the filterPostie.php file and that works for me but thought you might want to include something like this in Postie.

    Thanks, Ben

    Good idea. Since the comment statuses are very different than the post statuses I will be adding a new setting for default comment status.
