Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PrePublish Comment Moderator

No. The Local Filter works without any API key and is enabled by default. For smarter detection (context, sarcasm, nuanced toxicity), use Groq (free tier) or OpenAI.

Yes. The plugin is built for Greek, English, and Greeklish. The Local Filter includes 300+ terms with accent normalization and common bypass patterns. AI providers (OpenAI, Groq, Gemini) also handle Greek well when configured.

The comment is placed on hold for manual review. It will not be auto-approved. The plugin retries automatically in the background (~2.5 minutes, up to 3 times), or you can click Retry AI in the Comments admin list.

Comment analysis runs only when someone submits a comment — not on every page view. API calls use a 15-second timeout. The Local Filter runs instantly on your server.

Yes. All frontend comment submissions are moderated, including from registered users (except in wp-admin).

API keys are encrypted with OpenSSL using WordPress authentication salts before being saved in your database.
