Comments WordPress vs GD section

Hi Andrew,

Just took a look at the settings from your screenshots and it seems fine. Users should require registering in order to post comments and also would require your approval to display the comments. Please share the URL of the site in question so we can take a better look at it and also WP temp admin access to your site. You can post the details here using the private reply option below.

Hello!

Have you already tried a Recaptcha?

The login credentials don’t work for me, please double check them.

The credentials still don’t work for me.

Reviews are similar to comments but not exactly the same.

You can try another recaptcha on comments, but that is a general wordpress issue and not relayed to GD.

Hello Andrew,

I am not sure what the issue was, as it didn’t actually say there was an error. I suppose it be that someone was already logged in?

About your idea about reviews, and a notification to show pending reviews, I like that idea too and will pass it along for consideration for future versions. That feature is not currently included, but there are admin email notifications.

About the users roles, GD Listing owners need the author role, and that is only used by the automatic add or claim listing process, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it in regards to GD.

If you get another user like that in the future, let us know. For now that still sounds like a general WordPress issue and setting new users to ‘Subscriber’ certainly won’t make it any worse.

Let us know if you have more questions about that

1. I do not know why the login details don’t work.

About your idea about reviews, and a notification to show pending reviews, I like that idea too and will pass it along for consideration for future versions. That feature is not currently included, but there are admin email notifications.

Paolo,

I did not mention that as an idea. I think GD already does that, can you please confirm?

I can confirm it is not a feature.

Alex,

As per Kor’s message above, I was under the impression that I had to change all users role to “subscribers” and I did it. What do I do now? Do I leave like that as all users subscribers or listing’s owners (who posted and who claimed) have to have their user ales as “Author”

Listing owners should be authors or else they cannot edit their listing.

If you get another user like that in the future, let us know. For now that still sounds like a general WordPress issue

Alex,

That spammer still a user issue for me because I deleted his message once already and he posted another one. I am not sure what to do because I cannot find him at user’s list.

Please advice!

Good progress
