yes, if you want to apply that same permission set and usergroup to all forums…
comment?? do you mean a post reply? so you set bypass post moderation to true AND you set bypass post moderation once to true? just checking because as detailed in the codex, both have to be set for no moderation…
were you a user or a guest? if the latter, what permission set and usergroup (default is guests) did you apply to the forum for guests? guests are not members…
Yes, sorry, I meant post. I only had the bypass all ticked. I didn’t take the instructions to mean that both needed to be. I thought one would over write the other. Hopefully I have it fixed now.
One last question (hopefully), I am seeing a capthca and a math equation when I try and create an account. Is there a way to turn off the math equation when creating an account?
the math question is a permission, as is the captcha… disable the one you dont want… math question is spam prevention permission…
I got two messages that are awaiting moderation.
I dont see where the moderation queue is on the dashboard as per your comments above.
If I log on to the forum as SiteAdmin, I can see the two comments with the text ‘awaiting moderation’ – but no buttons to actually approve. If I log on as the user that I just created with moderate privilege – I dont even see the two posts awaiting moderation. I have skimmed through you doc and links above – but where am I going wrong?
OK – I found a workaround for anyone else who has similar issues. Log on as site admin and reply to the thread awaiting moderation. Assuming you got the option turned on, this will automatically approve the topic for display – you can then delete the admin post.
However, I am still curious why I cant do this with the admin bar plug-in. According the documentation, “When an admin has the display admin bar option turned on he will be shown which posts in the forum that are unread, need moderation or is marked as spam.
When clicking on the View New posts button and a list of each post will be shown where you can mark as read, delete, create a quick reply or go to the topic in the forum.“
sorry – confused… you cannot moderate posts from the dashboard… you do that from the admin bar or the forum tools… where do we say dashboard??
each moderator and admin chooses whether or not they see the admin bar… and remember a wp admin is not an sp admin or moderator unless you make them one…
and if you reply as admin or moderator to a post in moderation, it will also approve the post – as you say, if enabled to do so…
are you saying that posts in moderation were not shown in the admin bar? if so, would be the first such report ever of that…

Sorry – You did not – I assumed that bit (a bit like how WP got a Comments section on their dashboard).

No – I meant when I log on as one of the SP moderator, I don’t see the admin bar –
I now changed the permission of the forum so it is Standard as opposed to Limited – so dont need moderation.
for that moderator, had they enabled the admin bar in their admin options? forum – admins – your admin options… but you must be logged in as that user to see their options… each admin/moderator has that option page uniquely to them…

Thanks. I somehow missed that step. I see it now.
