Moderate comments and user interaction

You can adjust your comment settings to control how users engage with your blog.

Comments are enabled on posts and pages by default, but you can disable them if necessary. You can approve, delete or edit any comments at any time.

The Bristol Blogs network uses the Akismet plugin to moderate external comments on blogs. This plugin protects your comments feed from spam and offensive language. The Akismet plugin is installed at a network level, so you do not need to install it on individual blogs.

Change the settings

You can customise comment settings in your blog dashboard:

  • For the plugin settings, go to Dashboard > Settings > Akismet (these settings are available only if the site is publicly visible).
  • To change the site visibility settings, go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading.
