Download it from the WordPress plugin directory:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-approve-comments/
Auto approve comments by Commenter (email, name, url), User and Role.
It has been tested and works well with Akismet and wpDiscuz.
Upload the zip file on your WordPress website and activate the plugin.
- Open Comments -> Auto Approve Comments
- Go to Settings -> Discussion and check "Comment must be manually approved"
- Optionally install and activate Akismet (comments flagged as SPAM will never get auto approved)
- Configure your auto approval filters in "Commenters", "Users" and "Roles"
- Save and you're done
From now on all the comments that match at least one of the configurations in "Commenters", "Users" or "Roles" will always be auto approved.
Add one Commenter per line, follow the example below:
tom@myface.com
tom@myface.com,Tom
tom@myface.com,www.myface.com
tom@myface.com,www.myface.com,Tom
tom@myface.com,Tom,www.myface.com
