How do I get rid of the "Your comment is awaiting moderation." message in Wordpress?

Question

I coudn't find the php that generates that or do I have to deactivate it from the Site admin?

Answer 1

1. Download and Install Notepad++.
2. Open Notepad++
3. Hit "Ctrl-F" to get a Find dialog.
4. Change to the Find in Files tab ("Ctrl-Shift-F" might shortcut you here).
5. Change the filter to *.php
6. Change the location to your wordpress folder
7. Ensure you have Search in Subdirectories enabled.
8. Search for "Your comment is awaiting"

Answer 2

You'll need to use your own callback for wp_list_comments() - check out Twenty Ten's comment callback twentyten_comment() as an example.

You'll see a line something along the lines of;

<?php if ( $comment->comment_approved == '0' ) : ?>
    <em><?php _e( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'twentyten' ); ?></em>
    <br />
<?php endif; ?>

You could pretty much copy and paste twentyten_comment() into your own theme, removing the block of code above, and then using wp_list_comments('callback=my_comment_callback') in comments.php.
