Hi,

I recently updated WPforo and now every time someone posts on my forum, I have to approve their topic in the moderation tab on my dashboard. I'm wondering how to turn this off, I cannot seem to find a setting for it.

This is being done by wpForo Spam Control.Options are located in Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page. I recommend change the controlling level to these values:

  • Spam Suspicion Level for Topics: 50
  • Spam Suspicion Level for Posts: 60

And so on, you an decrease it to get the best result for you.

If you're sure that your forum is well protected or you use Akismet you can turn the moderation step off. Just set No the Spam Control on the same page.
