Sorry. 🥴
I was fiddling around with WordPress, and I clicked on something that made all posts, whether from old posters or newbies, wait “for moderation.” Honestly, I don’t even know how to correct the situation. 🤯
I didn’t realize there was a problem. I just thought it was unusually quiet on the blog since no one was posting but then…that was a good sign, right? It meant you went out on a hot date with your special someone on a Friday night 💋 or you were spending time with family on a Saturday morning. 👶🏻
I’ll reconfigure the site tomorrow when I’ve a clearer head and more patience. Meanwhile, rest assured. I didn’t ban anybody. The “banned words” have also been lifted (I was fiddling with that, too.) since TKEM is over. There’s no Great Purge ala Stalin.
There’s just technical difficulty on the blog because WordPress is built for Homo sapiens and I haven’t upgraded from being a Neanderthal. 🤪
It’s alright! Since discovering this site through TKEM not long ago, I thought it was strange that my comments were labelled “waiting for moderation” too but I just assumed that was the norm for newbie posters.
But a few days ago I stumbled upon a way to contribute to the discussions. I had ticked the ‘Notify me of follow-up comments by email” and that allowed me to reply to others’ comments if I clicked the ‘reply’ button on the email.
So for anyone who can’t comment too, this method might work for you 🙂
Heheheh! @pkml3 I just posted and left the computer without looking back. Did not realise that there was moderation going on. I didn’t see my post and posted again. Sorry, you’ve probably got quite a bit of duplicated emails/posts to delete!!
@Dreamer yes, using the Reply button in email is a better way to alert a commenter that you’re responding to them. However, I’m not sure that those emails will go through if the posts have not been cleared by the blog owner.
Still it’s best for us to check mark both the ‘Notify me’ options under the post and then confirm with WordPress that you’re subscribing or we won’t get new post alerts. 😄
I know what happened. It was my spam-guard. I was reminded by WordPress to update and last night, I started clicking on several of the old features. The spam-guard over-rode my “discussion” settings.
Dreamer posted consecutively. The first one was blocked but I unblocked it. But her second post went through fine after I readjusted the spam-guard. Your post, too, Growing_Beautifully, went through without requiring “moderation” so I guess that problem has now been fixed.
I’m glad this didn’t happen during TKEM’s or Hospital Playlist’s show nights. That would have been frustrating for us all.
Good night!
Good night! @pkml3 Thanks for checking and getting everything back to normal before you head off to bed. 😁 😘
@packmule3 So happy you posted this 🙂 When my post didn’t go through immediately, I thought you were annoyed I haven’t shared LG best bf post yet🙈 So relieved that’s not the case🙂
