[Resolved] display "Your comment is awaiting moderation" on frontend

No nothing like that.

It is a mystery thus far.

This is the CSS in the additional CSS Field in Appearance

/* START OF Remove Post Meta Details Below – End Of Post */
.entry-meta {
display: none;
}
/* END OF Remove Post Meta Details */

/* START OF Remove Comment Date */
.comment-metadata > a {
display: none;
}
/* END OF Remove Comment Date */

/* Parent COMMENT color */
.comment .comment-content {
background-color: #feebf2;

}

/* Replies color */
.comment ul.children .comment-content {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

Would that affect anything?

Any chance you can link me to one of your posts?

Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom

So I have done some more testing and I used https://crochetpenguin.com and removed all the plugins one by one again, just to be sure I hadn’t missed anything. This is just one of my sites that doesn’t display the message.
Here is a post https://crochetpenguin.com/crochet-blogs/

Still the message does not appear.

This morning I noticed on this post https://contentedfish.com/convict-cichlid/ the message
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment does appear
and there is no Akismet message on this site as in the settings I have do not display privacy notice.
I thought maybe this is the answer!!

However, I have deactivated Akismet on Crochet Penguin and that message still doesn’t show up.
I also tested whether changing the setting in Akismet on Crochet Penguin to do not display privacy notice would bring the message back. It did not.

I can now see that if I display the Akismet message for Contented Fish it appears under the Post Comment Button.

These sites have the same plugins and same versions of Generate Press.

I really don’t understand what is going on?

Hopefully you can weave your magic and make sense of it.

In Settings > Akismet Anti-Spam, what do you have set under your “Privacy” settings?

[Jodie]

I will take a look now.

I have the radio button checked for this in Privacy settings for Akismet Anti-Spam
Display a privacy notice under your comment forms.
