Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Comment Moderation Role by WPBeginner

This comment moderation plugin improves the comment moderation permissions on your WordPress site.

The new role “WPB Comment Moderator” is created on your site to allow you to give users access only to the comment moderation screen. Unlike the WordPress default settings, a comment moderator is not required to be able to author posts, so you can keep your content secure.

The Comment Moderator can approve, decline, or edit any comments on any post.

This plugin also allows your Authors and Contributors to moderate comments on the posts they wrote. That means your guest authors can continue interacting with their readers, without getting access to other articles or comments.

How Do I Create a Comment Moderator User?

Once this plugin is activated, simply edit a user’s profile and change their role to WPB Comment Moderator. This will grant them access only to the comment moderation screens within WordPress, keeping the rest of your site secure.

Comment Moderation Role is created by the WPBeginner team.
