AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Comment Moderation Role by WPBeginner is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Comments category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Comment Moderation Role by WPBeginner works
Show full descriptionShow less
Comment Moderation Role by WPBeginner This comment moderation plugin improves the comment moderation permissions on your WordPress site.
The new role “WPB Comment Moderator” is created on your site to allow you to give users access only to the comment moderation screen. Unlike the WordPress default settings, a comment moderator is not required to be able to author posts, so you can keep your content secure.
The Comment Moderator can approve, decline, or edit any comments on any post.
This plugin also allows your Authors and Contributors to moderate comments on the posts they wrote. That means your guest authors can continue interacting with their readers, without getting access to other articles or comments.
How Do I Create a Comment Moderator User? Once this plugin is activated, simply edit a user’s profile and change their role to WPB Comment Moderator. This will grant them access only to the comment moderation screens within WordPress, keeping the rest of your site secure.
Credits Comment Moderation Role is created by the WPBeginner team.
