Thanks, Cristian. I don't really know why it wouldn't activate... I will investigate... were you installing this plugin anew or were you upgrading from a previous version of the plugin?

I uploaded the plugins on WP 2.2.1, edited the installation file as my needs and activated the plugins on Plugins section of WP admin panel.

The system installed it but when I came to comments sections, I noticed errors saying me no tables were found in the db.
Infact the script while installing, didn't create the tables I created later manually and the system now works.

Please check the table creation section for any bugs.

Unfortunately, I'm not be much help in that case.

The script checks for the function imagejpeg -- perhaps you have installed an outdated GD version? I really don't know.

It also checks for the function imagettftext, which requires GD and FreeType. So I can only speculate that they weren't properly installed. I don't have any experience installing them; I always just ask my web host to do it for me :(

Hi Liz -- I checked and there's nothing wrong with the file itself. Perhaps the server is cutting off the downloads early. Anyway, I've e-mailed you the file directly and posted the plugin file to three different download options now.

I'm not able to open the zip file - it says it is corrupt or damaged.

Hi Grant,

The plugin doesn't send any comments to moderation. There is an option to send trackbacks and pingbacks to moderation but that is even turned off by default.

Perhaps you need to tweak the setting in WordPress itself. In the WordPress admin panel, go to the Options menu, then the Discussion tab. Find this section:

Before a comment appears:

* An administrator must always approve the comment
* Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
* Comment author must have a previously approved comment

Only the second option needs to be checked in most circumstances.

Hi,

Just wondered if there is a way to customise this plugin so that no comments go to "moderation", they are just uploaded to the blog straight away?

I just installed it and it works great, just the comments go to "moderation", is there any way to turn off that feature?

Thanks,

Grant
