How do I approve or remove comments on my blog posts?

No, comments don't go live straight away. Readers leave a comment with their name, email and message, and it waits for your approval. Only approved comments appear under the post.

Moderate them under Blog → Comments:

• Tabs: All, Pending, Approved and Trash, each with a count.
• Each row shows the comment, the author's name and email, and the post it was left on.
• Approve publishes a comment. Unapprove hides it again.
• Trash moves spam or unwanted comments out of the way. From the Trash tab you can Restore a comment or Delete it permanently, which cannot be undone.

Check the Pending tab regularly so genuine comments don't sit unanswered.
