Approving every post to my blogs

  • Unknown's avatar

    Every time someone posts to my blogs I have to approve the post before is gets posted.
    I would rather allow posts to show immediately after posting and without my having to approve each one.
    Am I just not seeing the setting that would allow posting without my approval?
    I don’t mind getting the post via e-mail, that way I can delete offending posts.
    P L E A S E H E L P M E . .

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Do you mean blog posts or comments? As for the “offending posts” please give us a direct link to one of them.

    No offending posts….

    Example: I have a (non-static) main page. I have Medical, Personal, Travel, Florida, and About sub pages.
    If my son or my friends make a comment (right – those are not posts I guess) I get an e-mail showing the comment and I have to approve it every time regardless of who sends it.
    I would rather their “comments” go directly to the appropriate page where comment was made.
    Does that make more sense? Forgive me, I’m actually relatively new to blogging.
    Thanks.

    Added comment: My having to approve every comment to one of my blogs makes me think that I have the blogs set to be moderated.
    I do not wish to moderate comments, unless they become a problem.

    The best way for them not to become a problem is to moderate them. :)

    There is another setting you can use that will hold all first time commenters’ comments for approval and will allow them to post after that. See this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#before-a-comment-appears

    Thank you Justjennifer. Apparently I had it right all along. My two followers do not post often. Had either posted another message I shouldn’t have received the “Approve” message.

    I will continue reading your most welcomed reference. Lots of good information there!
