The wpDiscuz – Frontend Moderation addon is a premium extension designed to move all standard WordPress comment management tasks from the back-end dashboard directly to the front-end of your website. This is particularly useful for site owners or moderators who want to manage discussions in real-time without constantly switching to the admin panel.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The addon adds a dedicated moderation icon/menu to each comment, allowing authorized users to perform the following actions:
Approve/Unapprove: Instantly toggle the visibility of a comment.
Spam Management: Mark comments as spam or unmark them if they were caught by mistake.
Trash & Delete: Move comments to the trash or permanently delete them with one click.
Email Author: A pop-up form allows you to send a direct email to the commenter (e.g., to explain why a comment was removed).
Move Comment: Shift a comment (and its replies) from one post to another via an autocomplete search.
Blacklist User: Add a commenter’s IP, email, or name to the WordPress blacklist directly from the front-end.
Registered User Deletion: Allows your site members to delete their own comments within a specific time limit (defined in settings).
