wpDiscuz Front-end Moderation

Description

The Front-end Moderation addon transfers comment approval from the administrative panel to wpDiscuz’s public area, allowing designated moderators to edit, approve, mark as spam, or remove messages directly in discussion threads. It targets those maintaining active communities, high-volume blogs, and editorial portals that need to delegate curation without opening wp-admin access.

How to Download Front-end Moderation

Front-end Moderation is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate with wpDiscuz already enabled. Moderation options will appear in wpDiscuz settings and directly in the front-end comments.

By moving moderation to the public page, the Front-end Moderation addon shortens the path between identifying problematic comments and addressing them, keeping the editorial team within the discussion context. It’s a useful layer for sites where public response speed defines community tone and opening wp-admin to occasional collaborators isn’t viable.
