Wordpress has a default option that checks if user has an approved comment before.

How do i change this number to a higher limit so that users must have more than one approved comment to publish future comments without approval.

Thanks,

You could try the pre_comment_approved filter to modify the approval status for the $approved = 1 case, excluding the post author and users with moderate_comments capability.

Then set it to 0 if the commenter has fewer than 2 approved comments.

Note that the approved value can also be 'spam' or 'trash'.

  • The code in wp_allow_comment() and check_comment() is helpful to see what kind of queries you could use.
