Moderating Blog Comments

Comment Moderation

Blog posts on Boottify support user comments. As an admin, you can moderate these comments to maintain quality and prevent spam.

Viewing Comments

1. Navigate to Admin → Blog → Comments.
2. The comment list shows all comments across all blog posts.
3. Each entry displays the commenter name, comment text, associated post, and status.

Comment Statuses

• Pending — Awaiting moderation (not visible to the public).
• Approved — Visible on the blog post.
• Rejected — Hidden from public view.
• Spam — Flagged as spam and hidden.

Moderating Individual Comments

For each comment, you can:

• Click Approve to make it publicly visible.
• Click Reject to hide it from the blog.
• Click Delete to permanently remove it.
• Click the comment to view it in full context on the blog post.

Bulk Moderation

For handling multiple comments at once:

1. Select comments using the checkboxes.
2. Choose a bulk action: Approve All, Reject All, or Delete All.
3. Confirm the action.

Comment Notifications

When a new comment is submitted:

• The comment appears in the pending queue.
• Dashboard notifications alert admins of new comments.
• Quick moderation is available directly from the notifications panel.

Best Practices

• Review pending comments regularly to keep discussions active.
• Use bulk actions for handling spam waves efficiently.
• Consider the context and tone before rejecting legitimate comments.
