Send new posts to admin for moderation

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have a website, where user can register and post articles on the topic through WordPress dashboard. But at the moment, the articles they post after registering are posted directly on my website. This means a lot of spam articles are posted as well. I would like when they post an article, this should come to moderation to admin who can approve the post first, before it is published. Is there any plugin or settings change which can help me in achieving this?

  • Hello @hsbahri,

    May I know the URL of the website you’re working on?

    You will need to change these users’ role to Contributor.

    A Contributor can create and edit only their own posts, but cannot publish them. When one of their posts is ready to be published, or has been revised, the Administrator needs to be notified personally by the Contributor to review it. Furthermore, once a Contributor’s post is approved and published by an Administrator, it can no longer be edited by the Contributor. Contributors do not have the ability to upload files or images, but they can see your site’s stats.

    If you need to change their roles, you can follow the instructions below:

    1. Click here to go to your website’s team/people section. You might need to select the domain/website you’re currently working on.
    2. Click the user you wanted to edit.
    3. Click the Role dropdown menu, and select Contributor. http://prntscr.com/h0pwxr
    4. Click Save Changes button when you’re done.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.

    Regards,
    Rose
