TCC’s Moderate Specific Posts plugin
Louie Alfred Gomez asked a question on the WordPress Hacker’s list yesterday about the best way to moderate all comments on specific blog posts. He was hacking the core WordPress code, which all of you who have just updated know is a bad idea.
I whipped out this plugin to show him an alternate solution. If anyone else finds they might need this, I’ll add a configuration screen and turn it into a zip file
Here’s the source as is:
