I got a syntax error. I tried fiddling with it a little but I’m out of my league with PHP.

I’m clearly challenged. I tried and couldn’t get it to work.

I will definitely try that. Didn’t even know it was an option. Thanks!

You know, I thought about doing that but the commenting process seems so…unfinished that way. You hit submit and your comment disappears and that’s that. I thought it might tie up the commenting experience a bit more nicely the other way.

I thought this was working for me but then I realized that if you use the value “anonymous” then that is the value for every post and a commenter can see all the other not yet approved posts because they all have the same author (“anonymous”)

I see what you mean and under normal circumstances, Lorelle’s solution would work but my situation is a bit different.

I’m trying to make my blog accept anonymous comments and have them moderated and thus I have to hide/disable the input form for name/email/website and that makes the moderation message not come up at all.

So what I want is to just have a message that comes up for every single comment stating that all comments are held for review before being posted, regardless of the fact that the name/email/website info is not being populated.

In essence, when a comment is submitted, I want that to trigger a message that is not contingent on cookies or commenter’s ID’s.

Thanks!

You deleted the code? Darn! I really needed that.

Gotcha. Thank you!

That’s a great idea. I think I can do the type =”hidden”. Not sure about “commentername” as my skills are not quite there yet but I will try. Any tips you have to that end are much appreciated. Thanks for your help!
