Hello,
when I have “moderate/approve comments manually” enabled and I submit a comment, this comment is listed in the backend to be approved. So this is fine. But the Newspaper theme does NOT show them in any way in the frontend. I submit the comments and I can NOT see any notice nor them somehow greyed out… This is very confusing. I know lot of themes where the comments are printed with: “Awaiting Moderation…” So I can see that I wrote them and that they got submitted.
Could you please verfify this (I looked through everything and I am quite shure this is a bug of the Newspaper theme) and then fix it in the next release. Comments are so important.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have added this on our todo list and we will try to fix it as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting this!
Hello solidoes,

I have tested on my side and everything seems to work properly.
The code you should see here:http://pastebin.com/6eVzzh1N

Unfortunately, this feature is not implemented in our theme, but we hopefully to do it in near future updates.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi Catalin,
I was having the same problem and have just implemented your fix – working properly now, so thank you.
Can this be made permanent for future versions of Newsmag and Newspaper, or does it bring other problems? My site relies heavily on comments, and many visitors get confused if they don’t get a moderation message so start using the contact form or bbPress and I end up with the same questions over and over.
Thanks,
stuart
Hello stuartmasson,
I have updated our list of fixes and I have announced our developers regarding this feature. Unfortunately, I cannot provide an accurate period wich the issue will be solved because our team developers are working hard to solved other fixes wich are much more urgent. I have made it urgent this request and in near future updates, hopefully, to tick as done. Until then, before to update, you have to to a backup to this file and load it to the new updated version.
Thank you for your understanding!
