This impossible WordPress feature is finally available (after 10 years)

Hey {NAME}, Did you know that for the last 10 years, it wasn't possible to create a proper Comment Moderator role in WordPress. Basically you had to give at least Editor level permission to users just so they can moderate comments. There was no way around it. Editor level role is quite powerful because it gives users the ability to edit any post / page on your site including the ones that are published. So I finally had my team fix this for WPBeginner and our other sites with our new [WPBeginner Comment Moderation plugin](. The best part is that we made the plugin open source (free), so it's available for everyone. Go ahead and give it a try on your site, and if you like it please don't forget to add a 5 star rating :) New WordPress Tutorials on WPBeginner: - Earlier this week, WordPress 5.8 was released with over 300 new features.
