  How do I prevent Comments from being shown until they’ve been approved?

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

  At settings > discussion set it so that all comments have to be approved: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/ .

  I had already checked the box requiring administrator to approve, but the Comment still showed on the page.

  Check that page again.

  Under “before a comment appears” this should be checked: An administrator must always approve the comment

  This should NOT be checked: Comment author must have a previously approved comment

  Yep, that’s what I figured it should be, but the Comment still appears on the blog page. Any other thoughts?

  I just left a comment on your most recent post, and when I submitted it it says, “Please Note: Your comment is awaiting moderation.”

  It works just fine as far as I can see.

  I left a test comment too.

  “Please Note: Your comment is awaiting moderation.”

  Situation resolved.
