How to Allow and Approve Comments in Wordpress

tagged , , , and

How to allow comments in Wordpress

You can allow comments from the Write Post section we discussed in the previous tutorial (How to start writing posts in Wordpress)

On the Write Post section you will see a box title “Discussion” on the right side column just below categories. You can choose to allow comments. If you want visitors to your site to post comments then make sure this is checked.
Tip: With the comments feature I use the really cool plugin called “MyAvatars. This plugin allows you to add MyBlogLog.com avatars to Wordpress comments. You can see a demo of this here on the comments section.

You can manage comments further by going to Options-> Discussion from the navigation menu. This is where you can manage if comments are allowed, and what constitutes Spam. On this section you can also set the option of having an email sent to you whenever anyone posts a comments or whenever a comment is held for moderation.

If you do make any changes here then don’t forget to click the “Update” button at the bottom of the page otherwise your changes won’t be saved.

How to approve comments in Wordpress

Whenever someone adds comments to your site it will require approval first. To approve a comment for the guidelines below:

  1. Login to your Word Press administration panel
  2. Select Comments-> Awaiting Moderation from the navigation menu
  3. It will tell you in brackets how many comments are waiting for you to moderate
  4. As soon as your comments have been approved they will appear live on the site.

How to Customize Wordpress Sidebar

tagged , , and

  1. Login to your Wordpress administration panel
  2. Select Presentation ->Theme Editor from the navigation menu
  3. On the Theme Editor page, you will see a list of “theme files” to the right of the page. Select the “sidebar” (sidebar.php).
  4. From here you can remove any unwanted sidebar widgets you don’t want to appear on you side bar, for example if you want to delete meta, then all you have to do is find the line that reads</li>
     <li id=”meta”><?php _e(’Meta:’); ?> or something similar and delete everything from there onwards to the last line that ends with <?php wp_meta(); ?>
     </ul>

NOTE: If you cannot save your changes, i.e there is no save or update button to do so and you see this message at the bottom of the screen “If this file were writable you could edit it”, It means you do not have the correct file permissions. To fix this problem you nee to chmod -777 wp-content/whatever-your-theme-is. Make sure the individual files are set and not just the folder.
As an alternative to theme editor you could consider using any FTP client like smartftp or FileZilla to edit, delete and upload files. It’s very easy to use, all you have to do is right click on a file name, click on View/Edit and the file is opened in a local editor such as Notepad or textpad. Make the changes, save the template and upload the file back and your done.
