Auto Moderate Comments on Old Posts - By Ozh

Thanks :)

Thank you for installing this plugin !

About this plugin

This plugins sends to moderation queue any comment added on a post where there has been no activity for XX days.

No activity means : the post has not been posted, or modified, or there have been no comment made on it, in the last XX days. So an old post with a discussion still going on it is consider still active, which is smarter than forcing a discussion to be moderated for the sake of the post age.

Of course, trackbacks and pingbacks are processed the same way.

Installation and Configuration

• Put the script in your plugins directory (blog/wp-content/plugins) which should be the case by now :)
• Edit the beginning of the script to configure a very few vars (this is well documented)
• Don't forget to activate it in the Plugins Admin interface
• You can have the plugin to print the status of a post (open or moderated) by adding the following code to a file (suggested : blog/wp-content/themes/your_theme/comments.php or blog/wp-comments.php) :

  <?php wp_ozh_automoderate_status() ?>
