WordPress Discussion Settings

Now, this is the most helpful setting for a beginner in WordPress. Because Discussion settings provide you a lot of options for management of your pages and posts. At the very top, we can find the default post settings. The very first setting deals with the links you make to other blogs. 

And the second allows you to get the notifications from the pingbacks and trackbacks on new posts from other blogs. The third setting option is simply the default setting which allows people to comment on every post. If you don’t want to get any of these notifications, you can simply uncheck the box. 

Here, you’ll get the other comment settings options below. In this setting, you can select each guideline for how people will post comments on your post. You can select whether the visitor or user needs to give their name and email to comment or the user must login and register to comment. You can pick on how much older the post, people won’t get an option to comment. And you can also pick the order of comments. 

After that, you’ll see an option to Email me whenever. This option enables you to get notification whenever anyone posts a comment on your post and if there’s any comment is held for moderation. 

Below you’ll get some options to check if the comment really needs the approval to get published or not.

After that, you will also find an option of comment moderation. It said to hold the comment in the queue if it contains more links than you set it up. This option will save you from spam comments as they usually contain more than one-two links. 

With this, you also get the authority to disallow comment keys that are again helpful in preserving you from the spammers and robots. 

In the end, you’ll get an option to choose your Avatars with ratings G, PG, R, X, and also a custom avatar of your own. Again save changes to make the settings changed.
