Download it from the WordPress plugin directory:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-approve-comments/
Auto Approve Comments allows you to create a white list of commenters and to automatically approve their comments after checking their email/name/URL, username or user role (it works with custom roles).
Useful when you set the comments to be manually approved to avoid spam, but you still want to immediately approve the comments made by your most trustful commenters/users.
Upload the zip file on your WordPress website and activate the plugin.
- Open Comments -> Auto Approve Comments
- Configure the "Commenters list" and/or the "Users list" (see some examples below)
- Save and you're done
From now on all the commenters listed in one of the lists below will have their comments immediately approved even if you set the comments to be manually approved.
Add only one commenter per line, these are all valid configurations:
[email protected]
[email protected],Mark
[email protected],www.verynicesite.com
[email protected],www.verynicesite.com,Mark
[email protected],Mark,www.verynicesite.com
Add only one username per line:
username1
username2
username3
username4
Add only one role per line:
role1
role2
role3
role4
