Overview
Ghost Comment Manager is designed to reduce the time you spend moderating comments. Instead of re-approving the same people over and over, you mark a person as Trusted one time. From then on:
- Their new comments publish immediately.
- A subtle “ghost” indicator is shown to moderators only so you can spot and confirm at your convenience.
- Visitors see a normal comment; nothing changes on the public site.
Alongside this workflow improvement, the plugin includes a lightweight Shield that blocks common spam patterns without external services. A simple dashboard gives you live counts and a clear picture of what is happening.
This plugin focuses on workflow, clarity, and speed. It plays nicely with Akismet or Antispam Bee if you already use them.
Why use this plugin
- Save time: stop re-approving…
