Managing Comments

There is always a high possibility of users or visitors posting irrelevant or derogatory comments. In order to restrict the less-relevant comments, you can customize your comment settings so that a comment requires your permission to get published. You can decide on whether to publish a comment by clicking the  Publish  option or delete the comment by clicking the  Delete  option. However, if you don't want to moderate incoming comments, you can select the checkbox to publish the comments.
