How do I disable comment moderation?

I’m using a captcha plugin to combat spam but whenever anyone comments, I get “Thank you for adding your comment. Your comment is pending moderation. It will appear after it has been approved.”. How would I make it so comments don’t require that I approve them so they show up right away?

In Admin > Preferences set ‘Moderate comments’ to ‘no’.

I’m not seeing an option for that.

Choose Admin > Preferences, scroll down a bit, it’s under ‘Comments’.

Re: How do I disable comment moderation?

Under Admin > Preferences > Advanced, the only options under “Comments” are “Require user’s name?” and “Require user’s e-mail address?”

Tried that and it doesn’t do anything.

Re: How do I disable comment moderation?

After trying that fix, I no longer get that message after posting a comment. However, the comment doesn’t actually show up when posted. When I go to Content > Comments, the comment is there and marked as visible and doesn’t show up until I manually set it to Show from the pull down menu.

It’s not under Advanced, but Basic.

Re: How do I disable comment moderation?

I take it back. The comments do show up eventually. It took about 2 hours after the comment was posted for it to show though.

Maybe it’s just an issue with my browser cache or something…
