All member posts are being held in moderation queue - I can't find setting to stop this behaviour?
@alistairgd,
To stop all member posts from being held in the moderation queue in wpForo, you need to disable the moderation settings and permissions that cause posts to be unapproved. Follow these steps:
- Go to Dashboard > wpForo > Usergroups admin page. Edit each usergroup and make sure the "Can pass moderation" permission is enabled.
- Go to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Spam Protection. Set the "Spam Suspicion Level for Topics" and "Spam Suspicion Level for Posts" to 1 (do not set to 0).
- In the same Spam Protection settings, set the "User is New (under hard spam control) during first X posts" option to 1 or 0.
- Also in the Spam Protection settings, under the "New Registered User" section, disable the "Posts must be manually approved" option.
These steps will prevent posts from being automatically held for moderation. For detailed instructions, you can visit https://gvectors.com/how-to-disable-topics-and-posts-moderation/
