Hi Supporter,

My members gets this warning when making a topic or answer a post:

“NOTE: first posts are subject to administrator approval before being displayed” (Screendump 1)

I am pretty sure I have given members the access to write post and start topics without my admin-permission. (screendump2. I know the screendump are with danish translation. The important thing is if the marks are on the right spots. )

Because I dont want to approve permission to my paying members. That is stupid. Just like on this Forum. I could start a topic without waiting for your approval. 

How do I change it?

Could it have something to do with wordpress roles? (Screendump 3)

Thanks 

Peter

PS!

Hey Peter,

I’m going to write the permissions in English as I might end up confusing myself otherwise!

There are two permissions that come in to play here, not just one.

‘Bypass All Post Moderation’ is there to allow just that, if this is unchecked, every post will need moderation. So the description is really only relevant to posting, it doesn’t mean bypass all permissions.

‘Bypass First Post Moderation’ is there to allow users to bypass their first post being moderated, anything after that won’t need to be checked by an admin.

So, it looks like you have ‘Bypass All Post Moderation’, but you will also need ‘Bypass First Post Moderation’ checked too.

For more info, see the FAQ page on post moderation – Accessible from the ‘Codex Pages’ menu in the sidebar.

Hope that helps!
